While today is election day in many communities, there is no election in Duxbury.

The next election scheduled in Duxbury : Annual Town Election, March 2018.

The Massachusetts Town Clerks Association asked for a history of the Town Clerks who have served the Town of Duxbury.

With the help of Carolyn, DR&HS super archivist, we were able to provide a list dating back to 1642.

So proud to be one of 23 Town Clerks to serve the Town during the last 375 years.

If you have not licensed your dog for 2017, please stop by the Town Clerk's office or purchase your license on the town's website (www.town.duxbury.ma.us) through the Town Clerk online payment center.
