Canton Heritage Festival
Saturday, May 16
10:00 am - 3:00 pm
The Canton Historical Society is delighted to be part of this year’s Canton Heritage Festival at the Paul Revere Heritage Site.
Stop by our table as we help celebrate the 300th anniversary of our parent and neighbor, Stoughton, Massachusetts. We’ll be sharing a small but remarkable display of artifacts from our collection that illuminate the deep historical ties between our communities. Come say hello, explore a few pieces of the past, and join us in honoring three centuries of Stoughton’s story.
