Our 2019-20 Programs

The Westwood Historical Society has many great programs for the coming year. The dates and speakers are noted below, but be sure to watch this website/page, our Facebook page and the local papers for more about each program.

Note that two of this fall’s programs were presented by two long-time Westwood residents: John Pritchard and Jerry Cronin. Skip Wells, another Westwood resident, will be speaking in the spring!

All programs are held at the Fisher School, 830 High Street, Westwood, MA.

We’re part of Westwood’s Holiday Stroll! From December 6 through 8, Westwood is hosting its first “Weekend Stroll.” Two of these events will be held at the Fisher School: Westwood Artisans Marketplace: Friday and Saturday, December 6 (3:30 to 7 pm) and 7 (10 am to 3 pm) We encourage you to stop by to see these local artists and purchase their lovely wares. Holiday Party and Sing-Along: Sunday, December 8, 2 pm. All are welcome to join us for refreshments and our annual sing-along! Please bring your family, friends and children. Sunny O’Malley will again be playing piano for us – and taking song requests. See the program flyer for the details. The Weekend Stroll also includes Holiday Fairs at the First Baptist Church and the First Parish Church, the Winterfest event and the tree lighting at the Town Hall.
