The New Market Historical Society, Inc (NMHS) encourages the discovery and preservation of historical homes, buildings and other significant sites along with pictures, documents related to the New Market area.

The Town of New Market has been listed on the State and National Register of Historic Places since 1972. There are 40 pre-Civil War buildings in the town.

The New Market Historical Society begins the year with its annual dinner meeting on the 4th Thursday in January. It then meets at 7:30 pm the fourth Thursday of March, May, July and September as well as the third Thursday in November. The meetings are usually held in the New Market Town Council Chambers on John Sevier Rd. in New Market although sometimes we meet at nearby historic locations.

Speakers discuss topics of local historical interest and refreshments are provided.

Gettysburg, High Water Mark of the Confederacy presented by Greg Bair
The year is 1863 and war has raged for two long years. During that time the South has had many great victories but has been unable to deliver the knockout blow needed to defeat the North and win the Independence they desire. With resources in short supply and time running out Jefferson Davis and General Lee agree on a strike into the North to attempt to end the war in one great gamble.
