Norwood Historical Society today! Details below.
|
| The
Morton Morton House on Darby Creek was built about 1750 by Morton Morton,
a great-grandson of original Swedish settler Morton Mortonson and a first
cousin John Morton who signed the Declaration of Independence. Morton Morton
and his descendants owned most of what is present-day Norwood Borough. A fine example of 18th-century architecture, the Morton Morton House, famed for the letters "MM" on its eastern wall, was in a state of near total collapse when it was restored in 1970. In the intervening 30 years, the house has been occupied but neglected. It is now once again in danger of becoming dilapidated. Norwood Borough is blessed indeed that this historic treasure, a reminder that Norwood roots go deep into Delaware County's past. There were living, breathing people walking and working on the land since the mid-1600s. Annual
membership is only $5 and runs from January 1 through December 31.
