| Bursting at the Seams! Collecting from 1911 to the present at SHS, will focus on the fine art of “collecting” as illustrated through the sometimes eclectic but always interesting objects which form the heart of the Society’s collection. Whether you have always wanted to see a hair from George Washington’s head (and who hasn’t?) or your interest lies, more seriously, in the many industrial products manufactured in Sharon throughout the nineteenth century, you are guarenteed to smile, and possibly, even learn something from this fun exhibit! | |

The Elms of Sharon, a collection of historic photographs featuring this beloved Sharon tree in various guises, was developed and designed by the Sharon Historical Society in conjunction with the Sharon Land Trust. The vintage photograph exhibit was shown at the Sharon Town Hall May 12 - June 12, 2001. A portion of the exhibit, featuring over fifty photographs both historic and contemporary, was moved to the Gay-Hoyt House for viewing during the summer months of 2001. |
