Waltham Historical Society
The Waltham Historical Society channel will post lectures, events, and exhibits showcasing history relevant to Waltham and its current and former citizens. As the Birthplace of the American Industrial Revolution, Waltham has been, and continues to be, at the forefront of innovation. We hope our offerings bring new insight into the history of our area. As with all things History, the opinions and comments are those of the speakers and do not necessarily reflect all versions of historical opinion.
