The Ashby Historical Society<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://ashbyhistorical.org/|title=Ashby Historical Society|website=ashbyhistorical.org}}</ref> was formed in 1900 with a goal of preserving Ashby's history for future generations. The group maintains and curates a small museum in the old engine house, located in the center of town that was originally constructed ''circa'' 1899. The society maintains a collection of artifacts from the town's history and continues to add donations and found artifacts to its collections. This collection of artifacts includes maps, books, letters, furniture, farm implements, firefighting apparatus, and much more. Hand pumped fire apparatus are on display at the historical society, along with fire related tools.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Ashby Historical Society |url=http://ashbyhistorical.org/index.html |access-date=March 11, 2022 |website=ashbyhistorical.org}}</ref><ref name=":2">{{Cite web |date=August 30, 2013 |title=Ashby a mill town with rich agricultural heritage |url=https://www.sentinelandenterprise.com/ci_23981044/ashby-mill-town-rich-agricultural-heritage |access-date=March 13, 2022 |website=Sentinel and Enterprise |language=en-US}}</ref>
