Historical Tour of Needham

Thank you so much to Mrs. Martell for taking us on a fabulous tour of Needham! We saw in person so many sites that we have learned about, and so many sites that we are getting ready to learn about!

Ask your child what they learned about:

town cemetery
Native Americans
First Eliot School
Little Red School House
Dog Corner
Echo Bridge
Hemlock Gorge
Town Center
First Parish Church
Many historical homes in Needham

You may want to learn more about these with your child.  Click here to take a virtual tour of the Needham cemetery.

William Emerson Baker was a fascinating citizen of Needham. He has a very unique history, but we're unable to learn about him during our unit. Click here to see a slide show about him and the "amusement park" he created right here in Needham.
