Membership Meeting: Wednesday April 24, 7:30 pm at the Day House
> Society Elections & Discussion of the Historical Dimension of Norwood’s Trails
Our upcoming meeting will feature a presentation by members of the Norwood Trails Advisory Group Joe Greeley and Lee Leach. The group is committed to educating, exploring, and encouraging the use of Norwood’s trails. They will share plans for the development of future trail networks in Norwood and we’ll discuss how this project can also draw attention to the rich history of sites like Shattuck Park, Hawes Brook and the Ellis Pumping Station.
Book Discussion, Thursday May 9, 7:00-8:30 pm at the Day House
