The Scarborough Historical Society was founded to preserve the history of the town so that it would be available for the public in presentable form.
Prior to the group's founding there was an increasing pattern of Scarborough's historic heirlooms being sold off to buyers from out of state. Nearly the entire collection maintained by the Society was donated by various individuals of the town.
