NORWELL HISTORICAL SOCIETY
Keeping Norwell's history alive for the next generation and beyond.
ABOUT US
Where we are
We do our work in two Norwell locations: our Research Library & Archives are located on the third floor of the Sparrell School, and our Museum is located at the historic Jacobs Farmhouse.
How we celebrate history
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.
What we preserve
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.
What keeps us busy
There are many different projects and research opportunities that volunteers can take on. We have many volunteer jobs, current research projects where more expertise is needed, and proposed research projects in need of a leader.
