Former NHS Historian Robert Ellis explores
A Northborough Common
Around here we like our history. At the Northborough Historical Society we like history so much that not only have we been
preserving Northborough’s history for more than one hundred years, but we have also been learning it, enjoying it, teaching it,
and making it! When the Society was founded in 1906, Reverend Josiah C. Kent stated that "The facts of Northborough history should be
collected and thus preserved from oblivion," and that is what we have been doing ever since.
