The North Andover Historical Commission is a five person volunteer board
whose members are appointed by the Selectmen and the Town Manager. The
Commission generally meets on the 2nd Monday of every month. Our mission is to serve
as a resource to the citizens of North Andover in matters pertaining to the history of the
town and its buildings and landscapes, to sit on any town boards or committees as
required by law, and to help protect documents, houses, landscapes, monuments and
places of historic value to North Andover.
Restoration and preservation of the stone markers in the Old Burying Ground by the
Consultant Firm Fannin & Lehrer of Concord continues. A brochure documenting the
history of the Old Burying Ground with a map and photos of some of the original stone
markers is being produced by the Commission. The brochure will be available to the
schools, the library and North Andover citizens by Fall 2005.
Ongoing, as required by the Massachusetts State Historical Commission, is the
documentation and recording of North Andover's historic houses, properties and
landscapes.
The Historical Commission is indebted to Carol Majahad, director of the North Andover
Historical Society, for her continual support and assistance throughout the year.
