About This Item
According to Longfellow, Paul Revere visited "every Middlesex village and farm" in one night, but with this booklet, you can forgo the haste as well as the horse -- and discover the county at your leisure! Middlesex, Massachusetts USA is printed on 8 1/2 x 11" 60# bond paper, with the front cover protected by a vinyl sheet. Comprised of excerpts taken from the vintage WPA book, "Massachusetts, a Guide to its Places and People", the booklet is a delightful 110 page medley of history and trivia. Obviously, you may get lost if you follow the 1940 routing directions, but "what the heck?" Live a little! The booklet is filled with clues to the past. Be opened to new adventures... go on a scavenger hunt for an old tombstone inscription, make a nostalgic return to the 1930s, develop a new appreciation of colonial architecture, or imagine the days when witches and ghosts weren't just Halloween fun. The print has been enlarged to better fit the page and for easier reading, and the booklet is printed single-sided, so there's space to add your own notes. Towns mentioned include: Acton, Amesbury, Arlington, Ashby, Ashland, Auburndale, Ayer, Bedford, Belmont, Billerica, Burlington, Cambridge, Carlisle, Chelmsford, Chestnut Hill, Concord, Dracut, Dunstable, Everett, Framingham, Groton, Harvard Square, Holliston, Hopkinton, Hudson, Lexington, Lincoln, Littleton, Lowell, Malden, Marlborough, Maynard, Medford, Melrose, Natick, Newton, Newton Center, Newton Highlands, Newton Lower Falls, Newton Upper Falls, Newtonville, Nonantum, Oak Hill, Pepperell, Pinehurst, Reading, Sherborn, Shirley, Shirley Center, Stoneham, Sudbury, Tewksbury, Townsend, Townsend Harbor, Tyngsborough, Waban, Wakefield, Waltham, Watertown, Wayland, West Newton, West Townsend, Westford, Weston, Wilmington, Winchester, Woburn. Each of the orange towns has its own section, and those with italics also have small maps with "points of interest". Few, if any, counties in America can boast more historic sites than Middlesex, MA. The booklet will make residents proud and visitors eager to explore. . Limited Edition Reprint Leavenworth. Spiral/Comb. New/No Jacket. 8.5" x 11". Private Press.
