The Society hosts a series of lectures from October to May. Exhibits each year focus on selected aspects of Dedham's past.
Dedham history reaches the classrooms through school programs and after-school activities. A visit to the Society's museum is a part of the curriculum of the Dedham public schools. Other special tours and programs are announced throughout the year.
