A Presentation of Norwood’s Notable Land Records

On Thursday evening, October 27, 2022, at Norwood’s Morrill Memorial Library, there will be a presentation by Norfolk Register of Deeds William P. O’Donnell entitled “Norwood Notable Land Records: People, Places & Properties”. The program is a follow-up to a celebration held in June at the Norwood Town Hall commemorating Norwood’s 150th anniversary.

The “Norwood Notable Land Records: People, Places and Properties” storyboards will again be on display, highlighting Norwood’s rich history, its illustrious stories and the wonderful people that have made and make Norwood such a vibrant community. Documents recorded at the Norfolk Registry of Deeds connected to Norwood’s rich history and the notable stories and people behind them are the basis of a free booklet that will be available to those attending the event.

Norfolk Register of Deeds William P. O’Donnell who is helping to organize the event explained, “The booklet tells a piece of the story of Norwood from its earliest days to the present. What has made Norwood such a great community are its people. The individuals highlighted in those records represent a cross-section of the community. Norwood is a special place and should be celebrated. I’m happy to be a part of it.”

Register O’Donnell and the Norwood 150th Steering Committee hopes you can join them for the presentation on Thursday, October 27 from6:30 PM to 7:30 PM in the Simoni Room at Morrill Memorial Library. This event is free but registration is required. To reserve your seat, go to https://www.norwoodlibrary.org/morrillcalendar/ or call the library reference desk at 781 769-0200 x 2.

“Preserving and protecting land comes at a cost"

From the Milford Daily News, articles of interest for Franklin:

The Metacomet Land Trust raised more than $30,000 in donations and grants to reach its 30th anniversary fundraising goal in 2018. 
“We are pleased to be celebrating our 30 year milestone as a regional land trust serving 15 communities,” said the organization’s president, Lisa Mosczynski. “We started out 30 years ago with three towns and as more communities saw the need to partner with a land trust to preserve and protect their valuable open space we have expanded to help them. 
Today we own 473 acres of conservation land and hold conservation restrictions that restrict development on an additional 343 acres. Among other partners, the trust works with individual owners, municipalities and the Commonwealth to preserve critical open space in the region.” 
In 2018 the trust finalized the acquisition of another 32 acres through landowner donations in Mendon, Sutton and Upton.
