Florence H. Speare Museum


Abbot-Spalding House


Here in Nashua, New Hampshire, a river mill town that grew on work and dreams, professional and community arts groups abound. In myriad ways, we honor the past, live the present, and envision our future in cultural forms. Here, in this traditional yet modern city, creative energy flows year round.

The private non-profit Nashua Historical Society, founded in 1870, has acquired and maintains the Florence H. Speare Memorial Museum, dedicated in 1972, and the Abbot-Spalding house, built in 1802-1804 and purchased in 1978. These museums with their collections are open to the public. The Florence H. Speare memorial Museum is open March through Thanksgiving weekend Tuesday – Thursday 10:00 am – 4 pm and by appointment. The Abbot-Spalding House Museum is open per the calendar and by appointment. Please feel free to visit. In addition to the tours, the Nashua Historical Society offers research services, Nashua library access and other resources. We hope you enjoy this site as you learn a little more about our organization.
