Welcome to the Norfolk Hunt Club.

The Norfolk Hunt Club is one of the oldest registered Fox Hunts in the United States. Norfolk began as a drag hunt in Dedham, Massachusetts in 1895 and moved to Dover, Massachusetts in 1903. We hope you will enjoy our website and learn about our Club, the sport of foxhunting and all the wonderful events we provide for riders, spectators and volunteers.
