Thank you for those of you who joined us for the Twilight Tour of the Old Burying Ground, October 30. We are working to put detailed photos of the gravestones and the information about the burying ground online. We hope to reprise the tour next October!

Wakefield Historical Society NEWS

The Wakefield Historical Society recently received a grant from the Massachusetts Cultural Council to aid in the preservation of a historic painting.

On Pond Lane is attributed to listed artist Henry Cheever Pratt, whose work is also on display at the Peabody Essex Museum and the Boston Athenaeum. The painting, above, shows Lake Quannapowitt and lakeside circa 1870.
