First Union Soldier to die
Luther C. Ladd
(The first man who fell in the Union Army)
Welcome to the Bristol Historical Society web site. Bristol along with Bridgewater and Hill were once a single township named New Chester. With it's chief water source, now named Newfound Lake and the many streams, ponds, and rivers, it is almost certain that this was the highway for the Native Americans who used this source for their food, travel, and the surrounding elements for their lodges, and protection for their families. It was by following these trails and waterways that the white man first appeared on Bristol soil. With the end of one civilization began the start of a new one.

In 1965 the Bristol Historical Society was formed, it is a non profit organization, and is located upstairs at the old engine house on South Main Street. From April until October it's doors are open to the general public every fourth Thursday of the month at seven o'clock. Along with our numerous programs, we have our historic museum, with the many artifacts and displays for the young and old that reach deep into our town’s history. Please check our web site on a weekly basis, and learn about our scheduled events that will be taking place around our town, as we hope you will enjoy our news clippings and photos from yesteryear.

Thank you
