Description
Based on hundreds of historic newspaper accounts and interviews with lifelong residents, one of the most intriguing streets in New England finally receives its due recognition. It is the story of how a village and its post office exemplifies the life of a community spanning 200 years.Once called Spring Village, now Winchendon Springs in Massachusetts, first a famous spa where visitors sought its medicinal mineral spring, in 1842 the area was bought at auction by the White family for their textile mill. From there it grew to a place where rich, powerful owners and mill workers lived and worked. Here is where you will find victims of the Titanic, veterans of the Revolutionary War and World War II, housewives and their children, servants to a dynasty, and all the people who came to call Mill Circle their home.It is one of the most historical sites in New England-but still has no recognition form the National Registry. Featuring photographs from the Alice Tousignant Collection-and many color pictures of the decommissioned post office today.
