History

Founded in 1965, the Freedom Historical Society acquired its home by the generous bequest of Margie Allard in 1977.

Built by volunteers in 1981, the barn houses a collection of farm tools, machinery and vehicles in use before electricity or gasoline engines.

Photographs, portraits, maps and posters are displayed in the meeting room which also has a growing lending library.

In the Allard House you can see Freedom memorabilia, mostly items donated by local residents. The furnishings generally reflect the late nineteenth century, when most of the village houses were built. Here you will find an Estey parlor organ, period costumes, a tiny doll house, a surveyor’s compass, photographs, books, and many other unique items.
