The more than 200 images in Historic Newton’s book, Norumbega Park and the Totem Pole Ballroom, tell the story of the amusement park that once drew thousands of visitors to the banks of the Charles River. Today at the Jackson Homestead, authors Sara Leavitt Goldberg and Clara Silverstein sign and personalize books for gift recipients. Books may be purchased today at the Jackson Homestead, at the Durant-Kenrick House, or in advance through our online shop.
