In honor of our 50-year anniversary, we are raising $50,000 to publish a limited-edition book celebrating the first five decades of Historic Harrisville. Learn more about the project and its authors Elizabeth Durfee Hengen and Robert Russell here.

We were disappointed not to be able to hold our Fall Incorporator's meeting in October. Instead, we prepared a presentation that reviews some of the highlights from this summer and fall and share it here.

This summer the clatter of Model Ts, steam locomotives, and horse-drawn carriages could once again be heard in Harrisville. Listen to L.A. Dierker’s new composition Harrisville Soundscape, which was commissioned by Historic Harrisville for both the town’s sesquicentennial and the organization’s 50th anniversary.

To celebrate our 50th anniversary, Historic Harrisville is hosting a full day of events on Saturday, August 28, 2021. There will be tours, open studios, exhibits, speakers, a hike, a special book, a commemorative champagne toast, and more. All members of the community are invited to attend.
