Cancelled: Norwich Heritage Day

October 3, 2020 @ 10:00 am - 3:00 pm

free

Important 2020 Update:

Due to the ongoing Covid-19 global pandemic and acting out of an abundance of caution, the Norwich Historical Society has made the difficult decision to cancel the organization’s remaining programs for the 2020 calendar year. It is with great disappointment that we announce that Norwich Heritage Day will be cancelled this year. This is not a decision we have taken lightly, but it was made with the safety of our volunteers and event participants in mind. We look forward to hosting the event in 2021; stay safe and be well!
