Good Deeds: History Comes Alive

 


Dedham- Norfolk County Register of Deeds William P. O'Donnell, in collaboration with QATV, announced the debut of the "History Comes Alive" project.


This project will feature historic area landmarks, with the aim of showcasing historic buildings and places from each town in Norfolk County.


The Mark Crosby-directed, succinct informative videos will provide viewers with an immersive experience by utilizing a wide range of historical knowledge, including some provided by the registry of deeds.


The first historic building to be featured as part of the project is Norwood Town Hall. Norwood, one of the 28 communities in Norfolk County, has been celebrating its 150th anniversary as a town. You can watch the video here: https://www.qatv.org/?modal=345,episode,220270.
