The Bantam Historical Society, established in 1975, is dedicated to preserving the rich history of Bantam and its surrounding area. Over the years, the Society has collected and safeguarded a wide range of historical artifacts, including glass plate negatives, photographs, postcards, and documents, offering the public the opportunity to view these treasures through permanent displays at the Bantam Borough Hall.
Furthermore, the Society actively promotes interest in the region by organizing guest speaker events, covering topics such as the area's former railroad, the aqueduct tunnel construction, and the thriving industries along the Bantam River. In addition to their preservation efforts, the Society has contributed to the restoration of the bell displayed at the site of the Methodist Church, which was destroyed by a tornado in 1989. With monthly meetings open to new members, the Bantam Historical Society welcomes individuals who share a passion for uncovering and appreciating the unique history of Bantam.
