Local history museum located in the historic Proctor House, begun in 1853 and finished around 1866.

The interior of the house, furnished in period pieces, is open for tours during the summer months (COVID-19 setting the upcoming season). Cost is $5/person.
The grounds, which abut Proctor Park Conservation Area, are open year-round.
