The Town of Lynnfield

Lynnfield was founded in 1963. "The Lynnfield Historical Commission is a 5 member board appointed by the selectmen to preserve, promote, and develop the historical assets of Lynnfield. A local historic Historical Commission is the official agent for community wide historic preservation, planning, and the designation of local historic districts, properties and sites. In particular, this law identifies five responsibilities for historical commissions including: Conducting research on places of historic or architectural value; Cooperating with the State Archeologist in conducting surveys and reporting on sites; Coordinating with other preservation organizations Keeping accurate records of its actions and filing an annual report Maintaining a membership duly appointed by the Board of Selectmen The board may also accept gifts, enter into contracts, and make recommendations to the selectmen."- Lynnfield's website: http://www.town.lynnfield.ma.us For this blog assignment, I looked into the history of my own town a bit and found out that Lynnfield cares about its environment and preserving land for its community. I posted a picture of the town house so other members of the class can get a good feel of what Lynnfield is about.
