Museum Shop

Location

The Museum Shop is located on the first floor of the 1821 Robinson House and features items inspired by the Bethel Historical Society’s museum and research library collections, as well as books, gifts, and special publications associated with past and current exhibits. Many of the books currently in stock relate to the history of area towns, logging and lumbering, architecture, decorative arts, Native Americans, the White Mountains, railroads, the Civil War, art, and crafts. Among our gift offerings are DVDs; maps; postcards; cross-stitch kits (including a reproduction of an 1841 sampler in the Society’s collection); children’s activity books, old-fashioned folk toys and Roy-Toy log building sets; Sunday River covered bridge souvenirs, notecards, and magnets; folk art paintings and prints in the style of Rufus Porter and Jonathan D. Poor; paintings by local artists; and craft work by local artisans. An area of the Shop is also devoted to books and gifts on sale at substantially reduced prices.
