Norfolk Historical Society Presents: History on the Hill ''The Wares of Wareland"

Robert Ware claimed the site at 103 Boardman Street in 1661. His grandson, Ebenezer Ware built the Elisha Ware House there in 1733, 278 years ago. Generations of Wares have lived in this historic house which is listed on the National Register. It was the site of the first school in North Wrentham in 1717 and the only house on what is Boardman Street today until 1865. Charlotte Barrell Ware operated one of Massachusetts' finest dairies at the Warelands in the early years of the twentieth century. Be sure and join us on the 27th for another chapter of local history.

This event, sponsored by the Norfolk Historical Commission, will take place at the Norfolk Town Hall in Room 214.

Meetings are always open to the public and all are welcome.
