PHOTOS: Wrentham Christmas Tree Lighting

On Sunday night, the Wrentham Common was lit up for the holiday season.

With Selectmen Chair Joe Botaish acting as the master of ceremonies, the evening featured music, singing, and an appearance from Santa Clause himself.

6 Questions With the Terrace Cafe

Terrace Cafe owner Nancy Lockwood recently sat down with Patch to talk about the opening of Wrentham's newest restaurant.

Recently, Terrace Cafe owner Nancy Lockwood took the time to chat with Patch about her new restaurant at Wrentham Center. The establishment, run by her and her son Josh, has been open for about a couple of weeks now. The Terrace Cafe is open daily from 7 a.m. to midnight and features live music on the Weekends. Where did the idea of starting the Terrace Cafe come from? “The idea came when my son and I, when he was in Afghanistan, we kinda talk over the phone about doing a business.
