There are many online sites about Norumbega Park and the Totem Pole Ballroom.
Here are a few to get started.

I'm often asked how Norumbega got its name.
The answer is simply that it was named after the Norumbega Tower across the river in Weston.
The REAL question is how the tower got its name, and why it was built.
Here is a short and amusing video with an explanation. Click Here to watch.

recalling his precious memories of Norumbega Park.

In 1995, WGBH broadcast a wonderful series called "Boston, The Way it Was."
Part 6 was about the Totem Pole Ballroom.
