Since 1971, the Boylston Historical Society has endeavored to live up to its motto, Preserve the Past for the Future.

Such a commitment involves more than collecting and preserving the historical and cultural heritage of the community. Included as well is a total dedication to providing members with every opportunity to increase their knowledge and appreciation of the people and events which created present day Boylston.

Prior to 1971, Boylston had no written history, no collected memorabilia, and its records were scattered throughout the community and beyond.

Built in the Georgian style, the Benjamin Caryl House served as home to the Caryl family until 1928, when it was given to the town and placed under the care and maintenance of the Dover Historical Society. It is particularly noteworthy as a structure - as very few changes were made over the years - and for its first two families, the town's first minister and his son, George, the first doctor.
