Prior to the Show and Tell program we will conduct our short Annual Business Meeting with three agenda items:

- Approval of changes to the society's by-laws
- Vote to accept the Board of Trustees nomination of officers for FY19
Construction of the Sudbury History Center is Underway!

The Sudbury Historical Society is in the midst of its most ambitious project to date, creating the Sudbury History Center & Museum at the circa 1730 Loring Parsonage in the Town Center.
Stabilization of the existing building is now complete (you may have noticed the some of the building's post and beam frame exposed while it was being stabilized). Next we'll be reconstructing the interior of the building and expanding the ell on the east side of the building. After that we can move in!

Our latest newsletter is out in a new format. Read it to learn about our repurposing of the Loring Parsonage as the new Sudbury History Center.

The cemetery is home to the Wadsworth Monument, monuments to the Sudbury residents who served in World War II and the Korean and Vietnam Wars, and the burial sites of over a thousand Sudburians.
