Norwell

By Jonathan H Bond

Vintage postcards celebrate the charming, historic town of Norwell's timeless appeal, capturing scenes of daily life, natural beauty, and beloved landmarks from the early 20th century.

In 1849, Norwell took on a life of its own when it split off from Scituate to become known as South Scituate. In 1888, the town adopted the forever name of Norwell and its own identity. In the early 1900s, the automobile was changing the complexion of Norwell. Residents were able to commute to better-paying jobs, while nonresidents were discovering the town's country charm and natural beauty. Included in the book is a special section of postcards on the North and South Rivers, both of which played an important role in Norwell's history.
