The Old York Historical Society, located in York, Maine, is dedicated to preserving and celebrating the rich history of the area. Established in 1900, the organization has grown from a modest initiative focused on saving the Old Gaol, Maine's first prison, to a vibrant hub offering tours, educational programs, and special events to thousands of visitors each year.

With a commitment to historical education, the society hosts a variety of walking tours that explore significant local events and themes, such as the impact of the Civil War and the history of slavery in York County. Through its exhibitions and collection, the Old York Historical Society continues to engage the community and foster an appreciation for the region's heritage.
