Stoughton Musical Society
Organized in 1786, Stoughton Musical Society is America's oldest choral society. Over the past two centuries it has had many distinguished accomplishments. In 1908, when incorporated under the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, the name was changed to Old Stoughton Musical Society and it has retained that designation.
==Early years==
From the inspiration of a singing school given in Stoughton in 1774 by Boston composer, William Billings, a group of male singers in town decided to form a singing society.〔Standish, Lemuel W. ''The Old Stoughton Musical Society: An Historical and Informative Record of the Oldest Choral Society in America''. p. 22.〕 There were 25 names and all of them listed in the membership journal with the date of organization being November 7, 1786. Their first President was Elijah Dunbar, 1740–1814, from Canton. He was also their conductor and a singer.The first music collection the musical society purchased was ''The Worcester Collection of Sacred Harmony'' compiled by Isaiah Thomas in 1786, which contained the first American printing of the Hallelujah Chorus from Handel's ''Messiah''.〔Huntoon, Daniel T.V. ''History of the Town of Canton, Norfolk County, Massachusetts''. p. 307-309.〕
