Welcome to The Society of New Concord

A Community, Social and Historical Organization

The Society was founded by local New Concord families to help promote and recognize the Hamlet as a historic and unified community. To this end, the organization fosters local historical preservation, neighborhood cohesion and social enjoyment. We make a difference in the district by rehabilitating historic buildings and cemeteries, promoting awareness of New Concord’s historical character, and building community with social events, educational gatherings and civic projects.

We are a truly non-profit organization, with dues and other contributions just covering the expenses of our ongoing activities. The largest part of what we accomplish is based on the enormously-valuable contributed time of a very talented core of our members. We are chartered as an educational corporation by the New York State Board of Regents and a non-profit by the IRS under section 501(c)(3).

In 2010 New Concord was designated a Historic District by the state and federal governments. The New Concord Reformed Church [now The Society of New Concord Meeting House] was placed on the National Register of Historic Places.
