Do you Remember Harwood in Natick?

The Natick Historical Society is delighted to partner with a former Natick resident and researcher, students from Natick High School, and community members to create a short film about the history of the Harwood Baseball Factory in Natick and how it is remembered today.  

Several years ago, Facebook exchanges inspired Emily Rosenthal about the Harwood Baseball Factory in her hometown of Natick. She began seeking out and collecting memories shared by former and current Natick residents about what it was like to grow up in the shadows of the world’s first baseball factory. 

Some remembered buying half-price balls to play pick-up games, others remembered the smell of the leather, or how their mother or grandmother stitched balls from home. Do you have a memory of the Harwood Factory that you would like to share?

We would love to hear from you. CLICK HERE to read more about how to share your memory with us.

We’ll be collecting memories until April 15, 2021.
