The mission of the New Castle Historical Society is to discover, collect, preserve, and communicate the history of the Town of New Castle. 

Our vision is to serve as a vibrant center of community learning and engagement built around the shared conviction that history matters. This work is guided by the core beliefs that:

• The past has profoundly shaped our present.
• Knowledge of our community’s history can significantly enrich our understanding of, and appreciation for, our community today.
• The people and events of today will continue to impact our community well into the future.
• Our understanding of history is ever-evolving.
