Swampscott Historic House Research & Plaque Program
**Please note that the Historic House Research & Plaque Program is currently on hold**
The purpose of this program is to raise people’s awareness of Swampscott’s rich history and tremendous architecture that exists expanding 200+ years, pre-dating the incorporation of this seaside town. Each applicant will receive a historical report that includes a narrative of the history of the area, architectural description, a full deed research of previous owners, and a list of resources to ensure the accuracy of the information. Appended are copies of atlases, plans, photos, and deeds where available. The house plaque allows neighbors and passersby a glimpse into the history of their home. We hope these plaques will promote pride of ownership and renewed interest in Swampscott’s history.
