Near Founder’s Park the TucK Museum was created in 1925 as home to the Hampton Historical Society. Hampton is among the four original NH colonies, originally called Winacunnet and established by Rev. Stephen Bachiler in 1638. The Tuck serves as a repository for the many relics, antiques, documents, photographs, post cards and other memorabilia pertaining to Hampton's colorful history. Among the exhibits is the --The Trolley Era of Hampton - 1897 to 1926 -- which depicts the electric railway once connecting the town with Hampton Beach and with other surrounding towns. Also on the Green, adjacent to the Museum is the Fire Museum, Farm Museum and the One-room District Schoolhouse which are also open during the Museum's hours. (See also Founder’s Park)
