Attleboro Historic Preservation Society. The Attleboro Historic Preservation Society, Inc. Attleboro Historic Preservation Society provides various historic programs thoughout the year.

The Attleboro Historic Preservation Society is a non-profit organization to assist the Attleboro Historical Commission in the preservation and education of Attleboro history. was organized in 1999 by a group of citizens concerned with the future of the East Attleborough Academy Building built in 1842. Saved from demolition, AHPS is working to restore the National Register of Historic Places building to use as its headquarters from which it will inspire and lead the preservation movement in Attleboro. The programs include lectures, exhibits, walking tours and house tours. We also support the City, friends and other non-profits throughout the year with pop-up displays and participate in a variety of events. AHPS has a Historic Structure Recognition Plaque program which provides property owners who participate, a plaque for the front of their property attesting to the property's age and original owner. Owners who's properties have been restored or maintained consistent with their period may apply for the program.

Watch our 4 short films: Voices of Industry - Oct. 10th at 2pm

The Attleboro Area Industrial Museum (AAIM) invites the public to a special screening of Voices of Industry on Saturday, October 10, 2026, at 2 pm. The event will feature four short oral history films spotlighting the businesses and people who shaped Attleboro's industrial legacy.

Light refreshments will be served, and the event is free and open to the public at the museum. The program will consist of four 15-minute film screenings, followed by a brief Q&A session.

The films capture the stories of Mark Fisher of Swift & Fisher, Tom Greene of Balfour Jewelry, Andrea Guyot Twombly of Guyot Brothers, and Rachel Benavides and Pret Stevenson of the Reeves Company. Each interview explores their company's history, their personal role within it, and the impact Attleboro has had on their work.

This event is presented in part with support from the Massachusetts Cultural Council, and the Attleboro, North Attleboro, and Wrentham Cultural Councils.

Each video was filmed and edited by Ian Opaluch of I.O. Digital Marketing.

This program is presented as part of Second Saturdays at the Attleboro Area Industrial Museum. Each month brings a different topic and a new way to engage with the stories of Attleboro and the region.
