The Needham Historical Society presents many historical lectures and workshops throughout the year. The Society also plans events like the annual Pansy Day Festival in April, and a Chocolate Creations and Champagne outing in February.
Established in 1915, the Historical Society houses everything from Native American artifacts and historic flags to genealogical documents, town reports and more than 5,000 photos. The Web site also features several online exhibits and feature articles. Visitors will also find gift items and books for sale.
Meetings are typically held at the Upper Falls Schoolhouse on Central Avenue.
