Norumbega Tower
Bring a little Weston home.
Unframed Matte Poster · 11 × 14 inches
Give the wall beside your reading space a picture with details to notice when you look up from a page. 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. Frame it in a way that suits the room and keep the historical connection nearby for anyone curious about the picture.
