The mission of the Appleton Historical Society is to ensure the preservation of Appleton’s 1848 Union Meetinghouse, so that it is available to Appleton’s townspeople for gatherings, ceremonies and arts and cultural events. AHS will continue to collect the history of Appleton — from its early years and early settlers onward — as well as artifacts, town records, and school information, providing a place to keep such records and documents, and make them available for research.
