WALPOLE - OUR HISTORY

Our Town’s 300 year history, dating back to December 10th 1724 when we broke away from Dedham, has been well documented by generations of careful historians at the Walpole Historical Society (Which incidentally is 125 years young this year as well!)

The Walpole 300th Anniversary Committee is very grateful for their partnership in our tercentennial celebration. Below you will find links to the works of many of our local historians on a wide range of historical topics. To learn more about the Historical Society, Join them, or learn more about their latest collaboration with the Historical Commission A Historic House Sign Project, please follow the links below. The Committee is excited to announce a number of historical observances, including Historic Trolly Tours and a Time Capsule Opening in the coming months.
