Mission Statement
 
The purpose of the Canaan Historical Society is
to collect, preserve and exhibit
whatever explains and illustrates
the heritage of
The Town of Canaan


People in Canaan take pride in thier independent nature and "can do" attitude.  There are several activities during the year, including the Old Home Day and Sugar on Snow Social, softball tournaments and the Moose Festival that brings a crowd of around 4,000 people to the town for the weekend.  The Historical Society Museum is near by and the members participate.
