The Wendell Historical Society’s mission is to renovate the former Wendell Depot Store and Post Office into a permanent home for the preservation of our town’s history. This repository will be a place where we will collect, catalog, store and display artifacts, documents, books, genealogy and ephemera related to the history of Wendell, Massachusetts. The new home will be a location where research and learning take place and where we will celebrate the past, present and future through museum shows, events, readings and concerts. The establishment of a historical society with a permanent home will be a first, meeting a long-standing need for our rural community.

The Wendell Meetinghouse presides over the Wendell Town Common and Historic District, and like many other beautiful meetinghouses that dot New England, reflects the heart and soul of the town. The building’s story goes back to revolutionary times.

Concerned residents of Massachusetts are trying to preserve the finite resources of the town of Wendell. No Assault & Batteries is a citizen effort founded in October 2023 to protect the town of Wendell and surrounding region, population and natural environment by preventing construction of a 105MW lithium battery energy storage system planned by New Leaf Energy Inc.

Wendell Old Home Day is an annual event, held on a Saturday in August on the Town Common. This event features the local music, arts, crafts, and food of the town.
