Historic dateboard program

The Norwell Historical Commission and the Norwell Historical Society are pleased to participate in this cooperative project to identify historic homes in Norwell. If you own a property of historical significance and would like to purchase a historic home signboard, here’s what you can do:

1. CONTACT US  via email to find out the status of your home’s research. We will put you in touch with the Commission’s Historian who will contact you via email.
2. CONDUCT YOUR OWN RESEARCH:  You may begin your process at the Norwell Historical Society Research Library.
3. HIRE A PROFESSIONAL TO RESEARCH:  Requests for a professional researcher to do historic or deed research on your home can be made by emailing the Society.

As a reminder, having a historic signboard on your home does NOT make your home eligible for any additional restrictions or regulations.  Signboards are a purely decorative addition--a means of showing pride about the history of your home.

Signboards may be purchased for $99. This purchase price includes a three-year membership to the Norwell Historical Society.
