The Center has six main rooms and two large halls. The rooms and main hall are named forBelmont’s early doctors. Each area contains furnishings, artifacts, and pictures which tell the history of Belmont from the time of the Indians who wandered through and camped here, up through the textile age. One room contains a TV/DVD on which videos of oral histories, early times in Belmont, and other subjects can be selected and viewed. You may see an ancestor of yours on one of the old videos of the 1930’s era. A library contains books about Belmont’s early history, genealogies of some families, etc. These can be used at the center for research or just pleasure. Showcases throughout the house contain artifacts and displays pertinent to the history of the greater Belmont area. A timeline in the hall will help you get a grasp of the major developments in Belmont’s history. Belmont’s Sports Hall of Fame is housed in one of the halls, where you will also find a scale model of one of Belmont’s best-known sports facilities - Davis Park. Some of our displays will be changing periodically, so there will always be something different for you to see.

Donations of artifacts that are pertinent to the history of Belmont may be accepted. These should be items for which we have room for display or storage. Check the Donations page to see how to make a donation.

Above is examples of the many local artifacts that exist within the Belmont Historical Society Center. The pictures do not do the items justice. You need to come in and see for yourself all the local history.

Below is an example of artifacts that represent the residents of the Belmont area long before Belmont or Garibalidi was a town.
