From tours of the Jacobs Farmhouse, to gatherings that bring together neighbors to learn about their local history, to historic talks and presentations for all ages--this is how we celebrate the history of our town, one historic event at a time. See our events page for more info.

Why & what we research
The Norwell Historical Society is the keeper of our town's treasures--from old postcard collections, to family bibles, to Lucy Damon Waugh's 1888 wedding dress--we protect and preserve the items that tell our town's story, while we publish and write about the continued tale.

Archives work can involve transcribing at home old, hand-written documents that are deteriorating... or our volunteers can pick a topic of local importance and start their own project. A list of our current research opportunities is coming soon to our website. Looking for information on a subject? Use the CONTACT FORM to suggest a topic for our research!
