Welcome to the Hudson, NH
Historical Society
The Historical Society of Hudson is dedicated to preserving and keeping the history of Hudson, NH alive.
Our Mission
Since our opening in 1966, our Society has been dedicated to the preservation of Hudson’s historical artifacts and stories. We aim to give back to our community while including lessons of Hudson’s vibrant history. Both our Society and historical museum are located at the “Alvirne” Hills House on Derry Road. Alvirne is the former summer home of Dr. Alfred K. Hills and his family. The home was built in 1890 by Dr. Hills for his wife, Virginia. The home is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
