The Thurmont Historical Society, established in 1988, is an all-volunteer organization dedicated to fostering and promoting an interest in the history of Thurmont and its broader community. Located in Thurmont's historic Main Street district, their office and museum house a collection of documents, artifacts, photographs, and other objects that showcase Thurmont's physical and cultural heritage.
With a significant research library that focuses on local and Maryland genealogy, Western Maryland history, the Civil War, and other relevant subjects, the Thurmont Historical Society offers a wealth of resources for those interested in delving into the area's past. Led by a dedicated board of directors, including individuals with backgrounds in education, history, and community engagement, the society actively engages with the community and encourages support through donations, purchases from their store, and volunteer opportunities.
