Established in 1976, the Beacon Historical Society showcases Beacon’s history through
exhibitions, collections, programs, books and an informative monthly newsletter.
As we celebrate a half century of saving and sharing Beacon’s history,
we welcome your membership and involvement!
In observance of our Golden Anniversary, we have produced a new video:
“We Remember: The Mount Beacon Incline Railway.”
We hope you enjoy what we intend to be the first in a series of “We Remember” videos — so stay tuned!
Funds to produce this 15-minute short film were provided through the bequest that we received from the
Mt. Beacon Railway Restoration Society.
