Historic Newton will keep the stories and photos to share, so that residents in the future can learn about life in Newton during this historic time. Send your story to stories@historicnewton.org. Submissions should include a photo (any person pictured should be age 18 or older) and a short entry (no more than 100 words, please!) detailing your thoughts, experiences, and musings during the COVID-19 shutdown.
