Phelps Historical Society
OUR COMMUNITY COLLECTIONS

In addition to caring for the Howe House and the Country Lawyer’s Office, PCHS has a community-based collection. Our community resources are helpful to anyone seeking information about past and recent historical facts concerning Phelps.

Many records are indexed for quick reference and include:

  • cemeteries (twenty-six town and ten in the area), birth, wedding and death records

  • Over ninety scrapbooks dating from 1858 to the present full of Phelps’ history and school news. Indexed for quick reference.

  • Many photos of local interest.

  • Books, maps and post cards related to Phelps’ history.

  • Soft fabrics including garments worn by local residents.

  • Old farm implements and household equipment.

  • War Items.

  • Slide collections portraying how things were in yester-years.


Do you have something that you are interested in giving to the Historical Society?  Donations of material culture artifacts & archival information related to Phelps are welcome. 

Call us before you stop by – it is difficult to tell the story of “orphaned” items left on the PCHS porch!
