President's Message

Welcome to the Holliston Historical Society! I'm Dan Mades, current President. In 2007, I retired from the US Coast Guard after 26 years of service and together with my wife and 3 children, moved home to Holliston. I now work as a Project Manager and Maritime Analyst for Serco North America

I am the grandson of Frank Rees and Dorothy Rees (past president 1967-1969). Since 1959, Holliston has been my second home. In 1994, we bought the old house (circa 1757) on Norfolk Street from my grandmother.

Over the years, my grandmother often drafted me into service to help with various Historical Society chores and functions when I was visiting Holliston.The first was a July 4th parade when I was small, where my grandmother dressed me up in woolen period clothing. I remember being quite uncomfortable in the summer heat in those itchy clothes! 

This is my third year as President, and we are making great strides in planning our future.  Join us!
