NORFOLK MASSACHUSETTS ANNUAL REPORT - 2020 About the Cover This painting by Horace Hamlin was to be the centerpiece of the 150th Norfolk birthday party which was to be held in May 2020. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the event was cancelled. This lovely image is a reminder of how Norfolk Town Hill looked in the 1970's. Thank you to the Hamlin Family.
