Feel free to contact us at [email protected]. We welcome new members and sponsors for our programs! Long known locally as the Hampton Historical Society, the society was actually incorporated in 1925 as the Meeting House Green Memorial Association to honor the original settlers of Hampton. A descendant of one of those families, Edward Tuck, generously donated funds to purchase a house on the site of the original meeting house green. The land surrounding the house was laid out as a park, and the house was turned into a small museum, appropriately named the Tuck Museum. The museum has continued to grow. Other buildings on the Green have joined the main house as exhibition areas. There is a nineteenth-century schoolhouse, a farm museum, a fire-fighting museum, a beach cottage and an eighteenth century barn. The aims of the Society (the name was officially changed in 1994) have also become broader. To accomplish its goal of the promotion and preservation of the history and heritage of Hampton, the Society conducts an active educational program of tours and lectures throughout the year.

Throwback Thursday

This week, we’re looking back at the history of the Hampton Beach Police Station.

Pictured here around 1926 is the Hampton Beach Police and Comfort Station, located on the ocean side of Ocean Boulevard across from the Casino.

The building was constructed after Town Meeting approved $15,000 for the project in 1921. It would serve as the Hampton Beach police station for more than 40 years before being torn down in 1962.

For more than a century, Hampton Police has maintained a presence at the beach, serving generations of residents, businesses and visitors.
