The Collection

The house, property, and museum collection are maintained entirely by Society volunteers as a public trust and a community service. The collection of archives and artifacts are the treasures of Hancock’s past and include such items as furniture, china, glass, military items, musical instruments, a large collection of tools, maps, manuscripts, photographs, paintings, textiles, oral histories and more. While we do have some Native American artifacts, most of our collection encompasses items from the 18th, 19th and 20th centuries that are related to Hancock or its people.
