The Tuck Memorial Museum on Meeting House Green at 40 Park Avenue is open during the summer months and special tours can be arranged by appointment. The admission is always FREE.
The Hampton Historical Society (originally named the Meeting House Green Memorial & Historical Association) was founded in 1925 in order to erect a suitable memorial to the founders of the first settlement in Hampton, (then called "WINNACUNNET", from the Indian name, meaning "Beautiful Place of Pines") under the leadership of Rev. Stephen Bachiler in 1638.
Also established in 1925, was the Tuck Memorial Museum, which is sponsored by the Historical Society, and serves as a repository for the many relics, antiques, documents, photographs, post cards and other memorabilia pertaining to Hampton's colorful history.
Among the exhibits is the "Trolley Era of Hampton - 1897 to 1926" which depicts the electric railway once connecting the town with Hampton Beach and with other surrounding towns.
Also on the Green, adjacent to the Museum is the Fire Museum, Farm Museum and the One-room District Schoolhouse which are also open during the Museum's hours.
The Tuck Museum Complex, located at 40 Park Ave., Hampton, is open to the public from 1 to 4 p.m. every Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday.
The complex contains four buildings:
The Tuck Museum,
Farm Museum,
Seacoast Fire Museum and the
19th-Century District Schoolhouse.
A children's playground and picnic facilities are located next to the museum. Special tours and visits can be arranged by appointment. http://hamptonhistoricalsociety.org
