The Norwood Historical Society is the repository of information about Norwood's history and is headquartered in the F. Holland Day House, the first structure in Norwood to be listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Please note: The Norwood Historical Society is a volunteer-run organization, so it can sometimes take a few days for us to return phone calls and emails. Thank you in advance for your patience.
