TIME TO EXPLORE

Around Town

Norwood, Massachusetts

Norwood is the home to the first house of id. We chose this town to launch our brand because it’s perfect for treasure hunting, is located conveniently near the cities of Boston and Providence, yet still maintains a small town feel. The official slogan is literally “the town everyone returns to.” There are trails to explore, delicious food to try, exceptional vintage shopping, and an abundance of local pride.

Baking for Seniors

id has made an arrangement with the senior center to allow donations of baked goods. They ask that our guests include an ingredients list. Email us if you would like us to pick up your goodies and drop them to the folks at the center. Click the link for their weekday hours in case you want to do it yourself: Norwood Senior Center.

Fancy a trail walk?

Check out the Endean Park and Trails.

Our favorite shops

Two of our favorite shops are less than 3 miles from the house: Winsmith Mill Market and Salvage Angel. Both are handicapped accessible with free parking just outside their doors.
