Hours
1885– A storage shed for the new town hearse was built.
1912– A larger addition for a snow roller was added.
1986– The town of Salisbury turned the Hearse House building over to the Salisbury Historical Society.
1990– The Museum was opened by our then President, Anne G. Smith. It was her vision to turn this Hearse house into an appropriate space to display the Town horse-hearse and the many other Salisbury artifacts that had been donated to the Society for preservation. We remain grateful for Anne Smith’s vision and determination and for all those who worked to create and preserve the Hearse House museum.
The original horse-drawn hearse is still on display to this day.
In addition, there is a reconstruction of a country store with goods, old Salisbury Post Office unit with mailboxes, an old Salisbury telephone switchboard system and various tools.
Salisbury Quilts, Samplers, Old Medical kit and objects of historical interests are on display.
