Norumbega Tower
Bring a little Weston home.
Die-Cut Sticker · White · 4 × 4 inches
Before heading out, pick up your notebook or smooth case, with this small view attached to something already in use. Norumbega Tower gives Weston's riverbank a commemorative structure to focus on, with a particular nineteenth-century claim behind the monument's history.
Norumbega Tower was erected in 1889 by Eben Norton Horsford to commemorate his proposed Norse settlement. That interpretation is unsupported by the historical evidence. The tower instead tells a local story about nineteenth-century commemoration, with a restoration in 1973 recorded by the Weston Historical Society.
The tower is a particular example of nineteenth-century commemoration on Weston's riverbank, with Horsford's interpretation itself forming part of the monument's historical story. Keep the picture on a notebook or smooth case you use often, taking the local detail along without needing a display shelf.
