The Webster Historical Commission was established on March 5, 1974 when Town Meeting approved Article 20:
To see if the Town will vote to amend the Town By-Laws by adding a new Section 18 to read as follows:
There shall be established under the provisions of the General Laws, Chapter 40, Section 8D, a Historical Commission of the Town of Webster for the purposes and with the rights and duties provided by law to be composed of seven (7) members, appointed by the Board of Selectmen for terms of three (3) years except that the initial appointment shall be two members shall serve (1) year, two members shall serve for (2) years and three members shall serve (3) years."
