INTRODUCTION 
 
 N presenting to the travelling public a new edi- 
 tion of Derrah's Street Railway Guide for 
 Eastern New England, the publisher expresses 
 thanks for the generous and kindly reception 
 which his books have met in the past, and 
 hopes that those who secure this Guide may find it even 
 more valuable than its predecessors. The extent of the 
 trolley system of Massachusetts is such that a Guide to 
 the lines is indispensable to the tourist, and while there are 
 local guides to various lines, this is the only one which is 
 in a sense official, as the proofs are approved by the offi- 
 cials of the various railway lines described. The Guide 
 gives the distances, running time, rates of fare, where 
 to take cars in Boston to reach different points, etc. 
 
 The publisher of this Guide has been before the pub- 
 lic so long that a word may be pardoned respecting his 
 work. When, in 1896, the first Derrah's Guide was pub- 
 lished, it was a small book and its reception was doubtful. 
 Since then it has grown year by year, until the present 
 volume, with its maps and many illustrations, its complete- 
 ness in every detail and its full descriptive matter, may be 
 said to reach high-water mark. The compiler has devoted 
 years of study to the work, bringing the public and the 
 street railways into more cordial relations, and the large 
 editions of the Guide which are now called for annually 
 are the best proof that the work has not been done in 
 
vain. The publisher, having travelled from Boston to De- 
 troit, Mich., by trolley, studying the various lines, methods 
 of operation and possibilities of business, is convinced that 
 nowhere in the world is there a greater opportunity for the 
 street railways to increase pleasure travel, nor anywhere 
 such an opportunity for the trolley tourist to find such 
 varying charms of landscape, historical spots and delight- 
 ful rides as here in the old Bay State. With a conscious 
 pride in his work, he asks the continued patronage of the 
 public, hoping to better the Guide each year, although 
 fully realizing that a large measure of the success of the 
 Guide in the past has been due to the fact that it has given 
 more than was promised. 
 
 In the following pages the descriptive matter will 
 enable the tourist to know what he is seeing as he is car- 
 ried through the cities or across country on the trolley. 
 The illustrations have been selected with care from several 
 thousands taken especially for this work, and it is believed 
 will add much to the value of the Guide. This year, for 
 the first time, a new departure has been made in the issu- 
 ing of a limited library edition in cloth, which contains 
 not only the lines of Eastern, but of Western New Eng- 
 land as well.

 AROUND BOSTON BY TROLLEY 
 
 THERE is no single city in the world where so much ol 
 interest is reached by the trolley lines of a single 
 system as in the city of Boston. Pretty nearly all of 
 Boston is historic ground, and it may also be said that the 
 trolley lines of the Boston Elevated Railway System reach 
 nearly everywhere in the city limits. More than this, they 
 go into the suburbs, and for a single fare it is possible to 
 reach any of the parks or the surrounding centres of popu- 
 lation. The system is known all over the country as one 
 of the best managed in the world, and there are few places, 
 if any, where so long rides can be taken for five cents. It 
 is impossible, without writing a large guidebook to Boston, 
 to more than give a faint idea of the variety of rides that 
 can be had on the Boston Elevated lines for five or ten 
 cents, or to more than outline what may be seen from the 
 cars. The following trips, however, will give some idea of 
 what is before the trolley tourist who wishes to see Boston 
 with the maximum of ease and the minimum of expense. 
 
 BOSTON THROUGH CAMBRIDGE, PAST THE COLLEGES 
 TO ARLINGTON, RETURNING TO BOSTON VIA 
 MEDFORD AND WINTER HILL 
 
 A car taken at the Park or Boylston Street stations of 
 the Subway soon reaches the surface at the Public Garden, 
 passing the Arlington Street Church with its graceful spire 
 on the right, and the Young Men's Christian Association 
 buildings on the left at the corner of Berkeley Street, while 
 on the opposite side are three notable buildings, the Boston 
 Society of Natural History and those of the Massachusetts 
 Institute of Technology. The car now goes along Copley 
 Square, passing on the left Trinity Church and the Boston 
 
EASTERN NEW ENGLAND 11 
 
 Museum of Fine Arts, with the Public Library at the head 
 of the square. On the right, opposite, is the New Old 
 South Church, erected at a cost of $1,000,000. 
 
 The car turns into Massachusetts Avenue and crosses 
 Commonwealth Avenue, where the statue of Lief Ericson 
 may be seen on the left. Crossing the Charles River over 
 Harvard Bridge one is taken along Massachusetts Avenue 
 past City Hall on the right ; it is a handsome building with 
 a fine fagade and a well designed clock tower, is one of the 
 " Rindge gifts " to the city of Cambridge. A short run 
 brings one to Harvard Square, the centre of Cambridge. 
 As one enters the square the Wadsworth House is passed 
 on the right. It was built in 1726 at the expense of the 
 colonial government and the College Corporation for 
 President Benjamin Wadsworth, and was the official dwell- 
 ing of successive presidents for nearly a hundred years. 
 During colonial days the royal governors made it their 
 headquarters. Harvard Square is no longer a " great aca- 
 demic grove buried in a philosophic calm," but compares 
 in scope and importance with any of the great university 
 centres of the world. Harvard College buildings are on 
 the right of the square. A corps of efficient guides are 
 always in readiness in the college yards during the summer 
 months to show visitors over the grounds and explain the 
 various buildings. It is an interesting and profitable ex- 
 perience to stop here and visit our most famous seat of 
 learning. 
 
 Leaving the square on the way to Arlington the car 
 passes the Common and Soldiers' Monument, about which 
 are grouped the historic cannon captured by Ethan Allen 
 at Crow Point in 1775. The following winter they were 
 brought across the country by General Henry Knox on two 
 great sleds, drawn by eight yoke of oxen. The old bury- 
 ing ground, which was once called " God's Acre," lies be- 
 tween the two old churches, the First Parish Church and 
 Christ Church, which is passed on the left. It contains 
 the graves of colonial grandees of the town, early minis- 
 ters, college presidents and first settlers. Many costly 
 tombs are unmarked, and the names of the tenants are 
 
12 BY TROLLEY THROUGH 
 
 forgotten. The lead in which the tablets on the tombs 
 were embedded was cut out at the time of the Revolution 
 to use in making bullets. 
 
 The First Parish Meeting-House is the successor of 
 the first meeting-house of the town, which stood in the 
 college yard opposite, near Dane Hall. The first Provincial 
 Congress assembled here, and here, too, the public com- 
 mencements of the college were held for more than seventy 
 years. It changed from the Orthodox to the Unitarian 
 belief in 1829. The first Protestant Episcopal church of 
 the town was Christ Church, built in 1761. It was designed 
 by the architect Peter Harrison, who planned King's 
 Chapel in Boston. It is said to be a model of an old 
 Italian church. During the Revolution it was used for 
 barracks, and the organ pipes were melted into bullets. A 
 special service was held here on the last Sunday of 1775, 
 which was attended by Washington and his wife and by 
 members of his staff. 
 
 The ride along Massachusetts Avenue and through 
 North Cambridge is a very pleasant one. Beyond Porter's 
 Station stone tablets are placed by the roadside to mark 
 points of interest connected with the first fight of the 
 Revolution. The first of the Arlington series is seen just 
 after the car crosses the steam railroad tracks. It is on 
 the right side of the road, near the outer edge of the side- 
 walk, in front of a modern house, and marks the site of 
 the Black Horse Tavern, where the Committee of Safety 
 met in 1775. Looking to the left at this point a view is 
 had of Spy Pond and the chain of hills beyond. The ride 
 becomes more and more interesting as Arlington Centre is 
 reached. The Soldiers' Monument, at the junction of the 
 avenue and Broadway, and the old Cooper's Tavern, which 
 is the Arlington House of to-day, are places of special in- 
 terest. Here one changes cars fgr the return trip to Bos- 
 ton via West Medford and Sullivan Square. The route is 
 through a thrifty market gardening section, where two and 
 sometimes three crops of vegetables are raised each year. 
 Tufts College buildings are seen on the right. The most 
 notable of these is the Goddard Chapel, a famous bit of 
 
'^^_G Rave yard"'; 
 
14 BY TROLLEY THROUGH 
 
 architecture with a hundred foot campanile, which is con- 
 sidered by experts to be the finest example of the kind in 
 the country. Just beyond the college buildings on the 
 right is the old Powder House, in the centre of a delightful 
 park, affording a beautiful view of Medford, Maiden, 
 Everett and the hills of Saugus across the Mystic River. 
 The car runs over Winter Hill and through a grassy reser- 
 vation to the Sullivan Square terminal of the Elevated, 
 where the trip to Boston is made by the Elevated. 
 
 THROUGH CAMBRIDGE, WAVERLEY AND MOUNT 
 AUBURN, TAKING IN THE COLLEGE BUILDINGS, 
 WASHINGTON ELM, FRESH POND, WAVERLEY 
 OAKS AND MOUNT AUBURN CEMETERY, WITH 
 MANY HISTORICAL HOUSES AND THROUGH DE- 
 LIGHTFULLY SHADED STREETS. 
 
 Following the route described on page 10 as far as 
 Harvard Square, the car turns into Garden Street, leaving 
 the First Parish Church, Christ Church and the old bury- 
 ing ground on the left. Passing the Washington Elm, at 
 the foot of which is a tablet with Longfellow's familiar in- 
 scription, "Under this tree Washington first took command 
 of the American army, July 3, 1775." This old monarch 
 has lost much of its former vigor, and in a few years more 
 only the stump will remain. 
 
 In visiting Cambridge no one should fail to see the 
 Botanic Gardens and old "Tory Row," which is a short 
 distance beyond the elm. Around here lived in the 
 colonial times the " select social set " of the town. Garden 
 Street and Concord Avenue are strewn with the homes of 
 many of the wealthy families of Cambridge, set back on 
 broad shady lawns. The next point of interest is Fresh 
 Pond and Park, with its three miles of driveway around 
 the shore and many paths through the hillside groves. At 
 Mount Auburn station a transfer may be obtained for 
 Waverley. The ride is a delightful one through shaded 
 streets with comfortable houses. It is only a short ride to 
 the Waverley Oaks, which are included in what is known 
 
EASTERN NEW ENGLAND 15 
 
 as the Beaver Brook Reservation. It is only a small terri- 
 tory, but it contains much natural beauty — the Oaks, the 
 Waterfall and the Pond. 
 
 The Oaks are of paramount interest and importance. 
 There are twenty-six of them in all, and their age is esti- 
 mated by conservative authorities to range from four hun- 
 dred to nine hundred years. Beside the great oaks there 
 are many other trees in the reservation which are well worth 
 seeing. The triple attraction of woods and fields and 
 water makes this one of the most popular places of resort 
 on the Boston Elevated system. 
 
 Returning to Mount Auburn station a transfer may be 
 obtained for Harvard Square, but before taking the car 
 it would be well worth while to visit the "Amphitheatre," 
 which the late Professor Horsford identified as the assembly 
 place of the Norsemen nine centuries ago. This is a spa- 
 cious natural amphitheatre with grass-grown seats or ter- 
 races. There are six of these, which narrow as they 
 approach the plain below. Clumps of fine willows are 
 growing on the plain, and the green banks are covered by 
 blossoming golden rod in late summer. Leaving the trans- 
 fer point on the car for Harvard Square, one is taken along 
 the front of Mount Auburn Cemetery, one of the most 
 beautiful cemeteries in the world, which includes over 
 thirty miles of drives along avenues and shaded lawns. 
 At least half a day would be necessary to visit the most 
 famous graves, costly monuments and beautiful sculptures. 
 
 Leaving the cemetery the car runs past '^Elmwood," 
 the old home of James Russell Lowell, which is a favorite 
 spot for the visits of literary people. 
 
 The house is on the left, and is a fine old specimen of 
 architecture. After passing the Cambridge City Hospital 
 on the right, Longfellow Park is reached, opposite the 
 Longfellow House, which is on the left. The land oppo- 
 site the poet's home was purchased in order that his view 
 of the river and the hills of Brighton might not be shut 
 out. It is only a short run from this literary shrine to 
 Harvard Square, and as the car goes on, on the left one 
 may have delightful views of the river and the Harvard 
 
16 BY TROLLEY THROUGH 
 
 boathouses and the new Harvard Stadium on Soldiers* 
 Field, where the football games are held. 
 
 At Harvard Square another transfer may be obtained 
 for the return trip to Boston via Broadway, thus affording 
 one an opportunity to view the college buildings from a 
 different point. The route takes one past the Public 
 Library and Manual Training School, both being " Rindge 
 gifts " to the city, on the condition that they should bear 
 certain inscriptions provided by him. One is now taken 
 through the manufacturing district known as "the Port," 
 and over West Boston Bridge to the terminus of the line at 
 Scollay Square. 
 
 BOSTON TO EVERETT, MALDEN, MEDFORD AND 
 RETURN 
 
 Taking the Elevated train in the Subway one soon 
 emerges into the open at the North Union Station and 
 thence over the Charles River from which a fine view is had. 
 As the train speeds through Charlestown, Bunker Hill Monu- 
 ment is plainly seen off to the right on the hill. At the 
 Sullivan Square terminal a surface car is taken which 
 crosses over the Mystic River, from which a broad view is 
 had of the neighboring towns. Off to the right is the im- 
 mense plant of the New England Gas and Coke Company. 
 Just as the car crosses over the bridge one passes on the 
 left the old Charlestown Almshouse enclosed in a high 
 fence, then comes on the same side the extensive plant of 
 the Cochrane Chemical Works, covering many acres. 
 Crossing the railroad tracks at Everett the car runs up 
 Main Street past the old Pierce farmhouse on the right. 
 On the opposite side was the farm then extending down to 
 the river, but now converted into streets and buildings. 
 The magnificent residence of Hon. E. S. Converse, the 
 famous philanthropist, is passed on the left, while on the 
 right, directly opposite, is the residence of his son. Col. 
 H. E. Converse. Passing over Creen Hill one soon ap- 
 proaches the historical Bell Rock on the left, the original 
 landing place of the first settlers of Maiden as they came 
 
EASTERN NEW ENGLAND 17 
 
 up the Mystic. The rock is of a solid ledge formation, on 
 the top of which stood the first church from which a bell 
 was rung, hence the name of " Bell Rock." Across the rail- 
 road bridge the car enters Maiden Square, at the right-hand 
 side of which may be seen the First Baptist Church and 
 the Public Library, both gifts of Mr. Converse. Near the 
 Library is the handsome residence of A. H. Davenport. 
 
 Leaving the square on the way to Medford one is 
 taken through Pleasant Street, passing on the left the 
 beautiful National Bank Building and the Masonic Hall 
 on the right, nearly opposite. A little farther on, on the 
 left, is the Brown Building, which is in itself a credit to 
 the city. Then comes the Maiden Auditorium on the right, 
 also a gift of Mr. Converse. 
 
 Crossing the tracks of the railroad and going through 
 a residential district one soon passes an old cemetery which 
 has been in use since about 1650. Opposite the cemetery 
 is the home of the Historical Society, once the residence 
 of Lydia Maria Child. Then comes Medford Square, where 
 a change is made for the return trip to Boston. 
 
 Leaving the square the car crosses over the famous 
 Craddock Bridge bmlt by Governor Craddock, and in less 
 than five minutes the car passes on the right the Medford 
 Inn, once a noted tavern on the line of the Boston and 
 Lowell coach. Through a beautifully shaded street the 
 car continues, passing on the right the Royall House, 
 famed as the palatial mansion of Governor Royall in the 
 old colonial days. To the rear of the house may be seen 
 the old brick barracks which sheltered the slaves who 
 worked on this extensive estate. Off to the right a fine 
 view is had of the buildings of Tufts College on the hill. 
 Passing Combination Park on the left and surmounting 
 Winter Hill, an extensive view is had of the surrounding 
 country and towns. Going through a fine residential sec- 
 tion along the wide thoroughfare, with its grassy reserva- 
 tion through which the car runs, passing a beautiful park 
 surrounding a delightful pond, the car brings one back to 
 the Sullivan Square terminal of the Elevated, where the train 
 is taken for Boston. 
 
18 BY TROLLEY THROUGH 
 
 THROUGH BEAUTIFUL BROOKLINE TO CHESTNUT 
 HILL RESERVOIR 
 
 A delightful ride which offers a view of some of the 
 finest residences near Boston is that to Chestnut Hill 
 Reservoir. This place, a part of Boston's water supply 
 system, may be reached by taking a Subway car, either by 
 way of Huntington Avenue and Brookline Village or by 
 way of Beacon Street and Coolidge's Corner. The brown 
 Reservoir car passes through the Back Bay region and 
 Massachusetts Avenue, turns southwest on Beacon Street, 
 passing the elegant Charlesgate Hotel and affording a 
 glimpse of the Fenway. Not many years ago Beacon 
 Street was an old-fashioned country road, but few traces 
 of its former condition are now visible. All the way to 
 the Reservoir handsome residences vie with splendid apart- 
 ment houses of the most modern style. Brookline is a very 
 desirable residence region and has been jocosely called 
 Boston's front yard. A Brookline minister once asserted 
 that his parishioners were too well pleased with their pres- 
 ent earthly surroundings to be attracted by the prospect of 
 heavenly joys. Their attitude will be more easily under- 
 stood after visiting this charming suburb. 
 
 At the Reservoir station the car turns to the right and 
 runs to its terminus at the Newton line, a fine view of the 
 city of Boston and town of Brookline being had from the 
 summit of a hill which is surmounted before coming to 
 the end of the line. At the left there is a beautiful view of 
 the sparkling Reservoir, surrounded by lawns and shrub- 
 bery, and across the water may be seen the pumping 
 station. 
 
 Chestnut Hill Reservoir is five miles from Boston, 
 just outside the Brookline limits. It has one hundred 
 and twenty-five acres of water surface and holds about 
 seven hundred and thirty millions of gallons. The pictur- 
 esquely designed pumping stations are open to visitors. 
 Chestnut Hill has many fine residences and handsome 
 estates. 
 
 From the Newton line, by taking a Commonwealth 
 
EASTERN NEW ENGLAND 19 
 
 Avenue car, another attractive ride is afforded for the return 
 journey. The car turns off to the left and runs through a 
 delightful combination of city and country until it reaches 
 the Brighton junction, off to the left being the links of the 
 Kenilworth Golf Club. At Pleasant Street, on the left, 
 may be seen the links of the Allston Golf Club, and one of 
 the most picturesque county clubhouses in the country is 
 visible across a little pond. The car comes back into 
 Beacon Street again after passing Cottage Farm station, 
 and the route is the familiar one through Beacon Street, 
 Massachusetts Avenue and Boylston Street back to the 
 Subway. 
 
 MARINE PARK 
 
 One of the most popular parks in Boston is Marine 
 Park, which is reached by taking a City Point car or any 
 South Boston car and transferring at Dorchester Avenue 
 and Broadway. The car runs over Fort Point Channel to 
 South Boston and, after leaving the transfer station, passes 
 near Thomas Park, which occupies a portion of historic 
 Dorchester Heights. It was from here that Washington's 
 batteries compelled the British to evacuate Boston harbor. 
 The site is indicated by a granite monument erected by the 
 Commonwealth. The Perkins Institute for the Blind, also 
 on Dorchester Heights, is a conspicuous landmark. It was 
 named for Colonel T. H. Perkins, its principal benefac- 
 tor. It has an income of about $45,000 a year, which is 
 derived partly from funds and partly from a state appro- 
 priation. 
 
 Marine Park is at the eastern extremity of the penin- 
 sula. It contains a bronze statue of Admiral Farragut, by 
 Kittson. It is connected with Castle Island by a long 
 bridge. Fort Independence is on the island and is the 
 property of the United States government. A fine view 
 may be had of the harbor from here. 
 
 The Head House, erected by the city of Boston, is a 
 pavilion at Marine Park, from which a long board walk 
 runs out into the bay. Delightful bathing will be found on 
 
20 BY TROLLEY THROUGH 
 
 the beach near here, and the headquarters of the yacht 
 clubs are also located near the Park. One may take a car 
 from here for a visit to Franklin Park by changing at 
 Dorchester Avenue, the car going out through the new 
 boulevard to Mattapan via Columbia Road and Blue Hill 
 Avenue and affording views of the residential section of 
 South Boston and Dorchester. 
 
 JAMAICA PLAIN, FOREST HILLS AND 
 WEST ROXBURY 
 
 The West Roxbury district includes within its limits 
 Jamaica Plain, Forest Hills and Mount Hope. Parts of 
 West Roxbury are still very rural and afford walks and 
 drives with all the beauty and charm of remote New Eng- 
 land villages, although within the limits of Boston. 
 
 Take a car at the Subway marked Jamaica Plain via 
 Roxbury Crossing. This goes along a part of Huntington 
 Avenue, then past Jamaica Pond, which is encircled by a 
 tine boulevard, to the Arnold Arboretum at Forest Hills. 
 Forest Hills Cemetery adjoins Franklin Park on the left, 
 and equals Mount Auburn in its natural beauty, which has 
 been greatly increased by the skill of landscape gardeners. 
 The entrance is through a beautiful stone gateway of Gothic 
 design. There is an especially fine piece of sculpture here 
 on the Millmore monument. It represents the angel of 
 death arresting the hand of the sculptor in the midst of 
 his work. This has been widely copied. Other cars for 
 West Roxbury may be taken at Dudley Street terminal of 
 the Elevated. 
 
 Near the Forest Hills station, off to the right, beyond 
 the stone viaduct, is the stone building of the Agricultural 
 Department of Harvard College, which is near the eastern 
 entrance of the Arnold Arboretum. The Arboretum con- 
 tains about two hundred and twenty acres and occupies 
 the land bequeathed to Harvard College by Benjamin 
 Bussey. The grounds are very beautiful and contain prob- 
 
EASTERN NEW ENGLAND 2l 
 
 ably the finest collection of trees, plants and shrubs that 
 can be found within the same space in the world. Mount 
 Bellevue is at Roslindale, which is just beyond Forest Hills. 
 This is three hundred and forty-seven feet above tide water 
 and the highest point within the city limit. From the water 
 tower on the summit a view may be had which is unsur- 
 passed for beauty and variety. 
 
 FRANKLIN PARK 
 
 No visitor to Boston should fail to make the trolley 
 trip to Franklin Park, which may be reached by several 
 routes. The Franklin Park car in the Subway or any ele- 
 vated or surface Dudley Street station car (at which point 
 a transfer is made to a Park car) will give a pleasant ride 
 to the tourist. If a Grove Hall via Warren Street car is 
 taken on Washington Street outward, it will pass on the 
 left the Cathedral of the Holy Cross, and at Eustis Street 
 the burying ground where Governor Dudley and other 
 colonial worthies are buried. Leaving the Dudley Street 
 transfer station the ride is up Warren Street, past fine resi- 
 dences and the Roxbury High School on the left, and at 
 Elm Hill a fine Unitarian Church is passed on the right. 
 At Grove Hall is another free transfer station, where a car 
 may be taken for Franklin Park. The Park car passes 
 the Consumptives' Home on the left and reaches the Park 
 entrance at Columbia Road. Here carriages may be taken 
 for a drive around the Park, passing the Refectory on the 
 left, the public golf links, the Valley Gates, around the 
 Playstead, past the Overlook Building, then near School- 
 master Hill, where Ralph Waldo Emerson once taught, 
 and then down through the beautiful Wilderness and Elli- 
 cott Dale with its tennis courts, and emerging at. the 
 Arborway, where another line of cars may be taken back 
 to the city. The carriages continue, however, past a chain 
 of lakes and by the other side of the golf course and Ab- 
 bottsford to the starting point. 
 
 For the return journey a Seaver Street car may be 
 taken, which skirts the side of the Park for a long distance, 
 
22 BY TROLLEY THROUGH 
 
 giving many charming views of the lills and dales in this 
 great Park, established with a portion of a bequest made 
 by Benjamin Franklin. The Park has an area of 518 
 acres, and presents a succession of delightful landscapes, 
 hills, dales, ponds, ledges and woods alternating. The 
 Seaver Street car goes over past the edge of the Park to 
 Columbus Avenue extension, and goes down that thorough- 
 fare into the city again, or another car may be taken which 
 runs a part of the distance along the Park and then turns 
 into Humboldt Avenue, giving views of the fine residences 
 in Roxbury before coming to Dudley Street transfer sta- 
 tion again.

 DOWN THE SOUTH SHORE 
 
 THROUGH QUINCY, THE WEYMOUTHS AND HING- 
 
 HAM TO NANTASKET BEACH, QUEEN ANN'S 
 
 CORNER, ROCKLAND AND ABINGTON. WITH 
 THEIR MANY HISTORIC SIGHTS 
 
 Entirely different from the North Shore in character 
 is the South Shore of Massachusetts Bay. Here are long 
 beaches in place of rocky headlands, and although the 
 country differs from anything else in eastern Massachu- 
 setts, there is no monotony. The route of the electric 
 lines along the South Shore takes one to the Common- 
 wealth's great seashore reservation and through many of 
 the most interesting historic towns. The start is made by 
 taking a Neponset car in Boston proper or at the Dudley 
 Street terminal of 
 the Elevated, and 
 at the Neponset 
 River a change is 
 made for a through 
 car for Nantasket 
 Beach, running 
 through Atlantic 
 (where a branch 
 line branches off 
 toSquantum),and 
 then past Norfolk 
 Downs, the an- 
 cient Massachu- 
 setts Fields, and 
 past the park to Wollaston Heights, once part of the 
 grant to William Hutchinson, to 
 
 QuiNCY, which is fully described in the trip from 
 "Boston to Plymouth." It is an important street railway 
 
 Butler House, Quincy

 centre, and many delightful rides may be made by side 
 trips. 
 
 One line runs through West Quincy and the interest- 
 ing granite cistrict to East Milton and Mattapan, where 
 connections may be made for Hyde Park and Dedham, or 
 serve as a return trip back to Boston. Another line runs 
 southerly to Weymouth Landing, there connecting with a 
 'ine to South Weymouth and Rockland, while a third line 
 runs to Brockton, described in the trip from ''Boston to 
 Plymouth." Another branch to Hough's Neck, a summer 
 resort. * 
 
 Continuing on the main line along the South Shore, 
 the car leaving Quincy runs through Quincy Point, a famous 
 shipbuilding place, and now the location of the works of 
 the Fore River Ship and Engine Company, builders of 
 government vessels, etc., and a very interesting place to visit. 
 Crossing Weymouth Fore River, it reaches Downer Land- 
 ing, a popular summer resort. Beyond here the car 
 goes into 
 
 Weymouth, formerly called "Old Spain," which was 
 
 the first settlement 
 in the Common- 
 wealth after Plym- 
 outh, and which 
 still has its origi- 
 nal boundaries un- 
 changed. The 
 place was founded 
 by Weston, the 
 buccaneer, in 
 1(122. 
 
 From here a 
 line runs south- 
 ward, connecting at Weymouth with other lines. 
 
 Soon after leaving North Weymouth the car crosses 
 Weymouth Back River, which is so called to distinguish it 
 from " Fore River," which was crossed in Quincy, then 
 through a beautiful wooded district belonging to Peter 
 Bradley estate. This estate, located to the right on 
 
 Old Ship," Hingham 
 
EASTERN NEW ENGLAND 39 
 
 a high elevation, contains many acres of beautifully- 
 shaded lawns. 
 
 Off to the left a line runs to Fort Point and the Brad- 
 ley Fertilizer Works ; also to Crow Point, one of the most 
 beautiful of summer residential spots. 
 
 As the cars enter 
 
 H INGHAM the camp grounds of the First Corps of 
 Cadets may be seen on the left, and also the home of the 
 Hon. John D. Long. Before arriving at the Hingham 
 station the Lincoln House, which was once the home of 
 General Benjamin Lincoln, of the Revolutionary army, is 
 passed. The house contains many interesting and valuable 
 historical documents. Hingham is one of the quaintest 
 of the South Shore villages. A short distance out of the 
 town the car ascends a hill from which there is a charming 
 and unobstructed view of Hingham Harbor and the sur- 
 rounding country. From here the car runs along for some 
 distance through the Old Colony Woods, which are unex- 
 celled anywhere for sylvan scenery. The car comes out 
 of the woods to enter 
 
 Nantasket, which has one of the finest sand beaches 
 in the country. 
 Here the state 
 has taken a large 
 area of the mag- 
 nificent beach, 
 and in afew years, 
 under the devel- 
 opment of the 
 Metropolitan 
 Park Commis- 
 sion, it will be- 
 come the finest Nantasket Beach 
 
 beach in Amer- 
 ica. There are several good hotels along the shore. An 
 electric line runs up the long neck of land, with water on 
 both sides, to Nantasket Point, a new resort that meets 
 with popular favor. At Nantasket carriages may be ob- 
 tained for a drive along the famed Jerusalem Road, where 
 
40 
 
 BY TROLLEY THROUGH 
 
 many wealthy Bostonians have their summer homes. The 
 drive extends along the shore for nearly three miles, with 
 splendid views of the ocean. Returning to Hingham over 
 the same route, one may take the branch line to 
 
 East Weymouth, Weymouth Centre, Weymouth Land- 
 ing, Braintree, South Weymouth, Rockland and Abing- 
 ton and other points beyond. The Weymouths are full of 
 old, historic houses, and the electric cars run through a 
 succession of fine residences, and the locality is well known 
 to sportsmen for duck shooting. 
 
 Hartsuff Park. Rockland 
 
 Southward from Hingham, on the main line, the ride 
 is a delightful one to 
 
 Hingham Centre, over one of the most beautiful 
 roads in the world, nearly two hundred feet wide, and lined 
 on either side by double rows of elms. The car passes a 
 meeting-house erected in 1681, said to be the oldest house 
 of worship in the country, and which is still used. Leav- 
 ing this beautiful thoroughfare, and running through Hing- 
 ham Centre, the car passes through a rural district to 
 South Hingham, and then runs on to the old turnpike at 
 
 Queen Ann's Corner, near which lived three maiden 
 sisters, who remained loyal to the British cause through the 
 Revolution and the War of 1812, and hfty years after the 
 
42 
 
 BY TROLLEY THROUGH 
 
 signing of the Declaration of Independence claimed King 
 George IV as their king. From this point the car con- 
 tinues to North Hanover, settled in 1633. 
 
 From here a line runs off to the left to Assinippi, a 
 village in the town of Hanover. 
 
 Continuing southward to 
 
 Rockland, formerly East Abington, settled in 1660, 
 the car goes through shaded streets, which branch from 
 Lane's Corner. 
 
 From here cars may be taken for Nantasket Beach, 
 
 Island Grove ana Pond, Abington 
 
 via South Weymouth and East Weymouth and Hingham, 
 also to Braintree, Weymouth Landing and Quincy. 
 
 Leaving Rockland the car, crossing the steam rail- 
 road tracks, runs through groves and fields into 
 
 Whitman, a busy shoe manufacturing place, from 
 which lines run to Brockton and the Bridgewaters, con- 
 necting at the latter place for New Bedford, Taunton, 
 Providence and Buzzards Bay. Connections may also be 
 made with the line running through to historic Plymouth, 
 described elsewhere. Another line runs through Abing- 
 ton. The original planks on the old frigate " Constitu- 
 tion " were cut in this place. Here the first bell was cast 
 in the colony by Col. Aaron Hobart, who taught Paul 
 Revere the art.

 THROUGH THE OLD COLONY TOWNS 
 
 FROM BOSTON THROUGH BROCKTON, BRIDGEWATER, 
 MIDDLEBORO AND THE LAKE REGION TO NEW 
 BEDFORD, MARION, ONSET BAY, BUZZARDS BAY 
 AND MONUMENT BEACH. 
 
 From whatever part of the country the tourist may 
 come he will not wish to return home without having taken 
 a trip through the section indicated above. It is full of 
 historical places, delightful summer resorts, beautiful scen- 
 
 Adams Academy, Quincy 
 
 ery and the homes of such popular men as Richard Hard- 
 ing Davis, Joseph Jefferson and Grover Cleveland. 
 
 Instead of the dusty railway journey one may make 
 the pleasant trip all the way from Boston by the " broom- 
 stick train." Taking a Neponset car at the Elevated sta- 
 tion at Dudley Street (see "Where to Get a Car"), the set- 
 
44 
 
 BY TROLLEY THROUGH 
 
 ting of nearly three centuries of the country's history lies 
 before the traveller. The ride is out through Dorchester 
 to the Neponset River, where a change is made to a car 
 for Brockton. Passing the grass-banked river, the salt 
 marshes and the Wollaston Golf Club on the hill to the 
 right, the car comes to Atlantic, where a branch line runs 
 off to Squantum. This popular summer resort is the place 
 where Myles Standish landed in 1621. This was the assem- 
 bling place for the Indian powwows, and it was here that 
 
 the Pilgrims' feast was 
 
 / ■ 
 
 celebrated for many ye-ars 
 in memory of the landing 
 of the Pilgrims at Plym- 
 outh. The long peninsula 
 is to-day used as a picnic 
 ground. 
 
 Norfolk Downs is 
 next along the line. 
 Adams Academy, a pop- 
 ular school, was founded 
 here in 1823 by President 
 Adams, but it was not 
 open to pupils until 1872. 
 John Hancock was born 
 in the house which once 
 stood on the site of this 
 building. 
 
 A short run 
 one to the square of the 
 historic and interesting little city of Quincy. To Quincy 
 belongs the honor of having furnished two Presidents of the 
 United States. Across the square is the First Unitarian 
 Church, built in 1828 to replace the old church which stood 
 there from 1732. In the crypt are the remains of President 
 John Adams and John Quincy Adams and their wives. 
 
 From the square cars may be taken for East Milton 
 and thence to Boston, to Nantasket Beach, Hough's Neck 
 and other places. 
 
 Continuing along the main line, the car turns the cor- 
 
 First Unitarian Church, Quincy

 ner on which are the houses of John Adams and John 
 Quincy Adams — these houses are owned and maintained 
 by the Daughters of the American Revolution, and many 
 interesting relics are upon exhibition — and goes through 
 open country, broken by occasional glimpses of the great 
 quarries of West Quincy on the hillside to the right, to 
 Braintree. This town was settled in 1640 on a tract of land 
 owned by John Hull, master of the mint. There is a story 
 concerning him to the effect that he gave to Judge Sewall 
 as his daughter's dowry her weight in the pine tree shil- 
 lings which were the money of the colonists. 
 
 In Braintree is the famous Trilobite Quarry, well 
 known to ge- 
 ologists. Here r 
 cars may be 
 taken for Wey- 
 mouth, for- 
 merly called 
 "Old Spain," 
 and the first 
 settlement in 
 the Common- 
 wealth after 
 Plymouth. 
 The place was 
 founded by 
 
 Birthplace of John Adams and John Quincy Adams 
 
 Weston, the buccaneer, in 1622, and 
 
 in I'o'Z'Z, and its 
 original boundaries are still unchanged. From Weymouth a 
 branch line runs to Hingham, which is well worth visiting. 
 Another line runs through South Weymouth to Rockland, 
 traversing a section well known to sportsmen for duck 
 shooting. 
 
 Keeping to the main line, the tourist soon comes to 
 South Braintree, where a branch line maybe taken to Ran- 
 dolph, Highland Park and Brockton. The main ]^ne from 
 South Braintree lies through a charming, fertile country 
 to Holbrook. The town was named in honor of Elisha N. 
 Holbrook, who gave the Town Hall and Public Library 
 From the hills of Brookville, just beyond, a fine view of the 
 surrounding country may be had. 
 
46 
 
 BY TROLLEY THROUGH 
 
 Montello is the next point of interest. This is the 
 residential section of Brockton. A fifteen minutes' ride 
 brings one past Brockton Common into the centre of the 
 Shoe City, famous as the home of the Douglas shoe. 
 Brockton is a street railway centre of no small degree. 
 From here cars may be taken for Nantasket Beach, Taun- 
 ton via Bridgewater and Taunton via Easton, or Milton 
 Lower Mills and Boston, and to Plymouth. There are 
 many shorter lines running to Stoughton, North Easton, 
 
 House Rock, Weymouth 
 Largest Bowlder in Eastern Massachusetts 
 
 Whitman, Rockland, Abington and East Bridgewater. 
 These lines are described elsewhere. 
 
 For lunch stop at the Hotel Belmont. 
 
 From Brockton a line runs to New Bedford through 
 the most picturesque part of the Commonwealth. This is 
 known as the Lake Region or as King Philip's Country. 
 The ride to the old whaling city takes one through Cam- 
 pello, noted for its market gardens, which produce great 
 quantities of fine vegetables yearly. The road lies through 
 an open farming country to West Bridgewater. This was 
 the first interior settlement of the Plymouth Colony. A 
 
EASTERN NEW ENGLAND 
 
 47 
 
 good view of the standpipe is had on the left, and the State 
 Farm may be clearly seen in the foreground. The town 
 of Bridgewater has many shaded streets and fine public 
 buildings. 
 
 The Bridgewater Inn is charmingly located to the 
 left of the square, and the excellent meals served at a very 
 low rate have made it a popular place for tourists. 
 
 The old burying grounds with the quaint in- 
 scriptions on the tombstones never fail to interest the 
 visitor. From here connections may be made with cars 
 running through to Taunton, passing through the old 
 
 Lakeville 
 
 farming village known as Scotland, and thence past Nip- 
 pennicket Lake, surrounded by cedar forests and cranberry 
 meadows. King Philip and his warriors, attracted by the 
 game in this section, had a camp on the border of the 
 lake. There are now two fine parks here which have 
 recently become popular as summer resorts. 
 
 Leaving the beautiful square of Bridgewater and pass- 
 ing through a street as beautiful and as well shaded by 
 giant elms as that of old Deerfield, the car enters the 
 open country again, passes the old cemetery, crosses the 
 Taunton River, and reaches the little village of Titicut in 
 North Middleboro. This is well known as a resort for 
 
48 BY TROLLEY THROUGH 
 
 sportsmen, who find plenty of game in the woods and fish 
 in the near-by streams. 
 
 The next village is Middleboro, one of the oldest in 
 the Commonwealth. It was a part of the Indians' domain, 
 and was known as Mamasket. The first rolling mill in the 
 country was built in this town by Peter Oliver, one of 
 the crown judges of the province. At Four Corners, 
 the centre of the town, cars may be taken for East Taun- 
 ton and Taunton, or through Tremont and Rochester to 
 Wareham, Onset and Buzzards Bay. To the east of Mid- 
 dleboro lies the great Plymouth Woods, where the Massa- 
 keesets hunted the moose, the deer and bear, or fished for 
 trout in the streams. 
 
 The car runs through South Main Street, which is 
 bordered by handsome shade trees, into Lakeville. Near 
 the lakes is a grove of pines which was at one time the 
 camping and training ground of General (Fighting) Joe 
 Hooker, and later the muster field of the Massachusetts 
 State Militia. Assawompsett Pond is the largest body of 
 fresh water in the state. It was in this lake that Susamon, 
 the educated Indian, who acted as an interpreter to King 
 Philip, was drowned. It was feared that after leaving his 
 tribe he might expose their plans to the whites. Many of 
 the Indians were hanged for his murder, and thus hastened 
 the terrible battle which soon followed on the banks of the 
 little stream which the car crosses. Many summer cot- 
 tages and fine residences are built around these ponds. 
 
 Passing the car house of the company and over a 
 private right of way, where a park has been established 
 by. the management of the road on the shore of Long 
 Pond, or Ninnepocket as called by the Indians, one comes 
 to Great Quittacus I'ond. From here the road is through 
 tine country scenery to Acushnet, the car soon passing one 
 of New Bedford's most popular summer resorts, Brooklawn 
 Park, then into the open country, under the shade of fine 
 old elms, past comfortable houses, and the Common, a 
 beautifully shaded square, to the junction of Union and 
 Purchase streets, the general transferring point, where cars 
 may be taken to all points. (For description of line from 
 New Bedford to Onset Bay see Providence to Onset Bay.)

 BOSTON TO NEWPORT 
 
 THROUGH THE BLUE HILL RESERVATION, RAN- 
 DOLPH, BROCKTON AND TAUNTON, AND ALONG 
 THE BEAUTIFUL TAUNTON RIVER TO FALL 
 RIVER AND NEWPORT 
 
 At some time every one interested in trolley trips 
 thinks of taking the one from Boston to Newport. Of 
 late years this has been made easy by the shortening up 
 of the route which runs through one of the finest natural 
 parks in the world, and through a region of special historic 
 interest. It is not generally known that the first part of 
 this route is 
 through a park, 
 which gives it 
 the charm of 
 the unusual. 
 It then crosses 
 one of the fin- 
 est sections 
 of Eastern 
 Massachusetts 
 and enters 
 Rhode Island. 
 The entire trip 
 may be taken 
 in a day. 
 
 Leavinor Boston at the Dudley Street station of the 
 Elevated Railway on an Ashmont and Milton car, or on a 
 car. marked Milton via Roslindale, the traveller is soon at 
 Milton Lower Falls, where the 2:reat Baker Chocolate 
 Works are located. A change is made here for the through 
 Brockton car, which crosses the beautiful Neponset River, 
 and ascends an incline. From the top a deliehtful view is 
 had of the river. The car runs on into Milton, where a 
 
 View in the Blue Hill Reservation 
 
50 
 
 BY TROLLEY THROUGH 
 
 branch line runs off to East Milton, and to Quincy through 
 the granite section. Here the car turns to the right, and 
 before touching the great 
 Blue Hill Reservation 
 passes the large farm and 
 buildings of Colonel Rus- 
 sell, situated on the corner 
 of a road which leads off 
 to Houghton's Pond. The 
 Reservation, with all its 
 great natural beauty, is 
 now reached. Here one 
 
 may wander all day in the open, or roam at will through 
 the woods. The car runs on through the Chickatawbut 
 and Hancock Hills. The great Blue Hill, surmounted 
 by its weather observatory, looms up on the right. 
 
 It is only a short run until the car reaches Randolph, 
 where a branch line leads off to South Braintree and 
 Quincy, and thence back to Boston; another line runs to 
 Stoughton. Randolph is an attractive little town, once 
 the home of Mary E. Wilkins, one of our cleverest Ameri- 
 can writers. The car continues on to the little settlement 
 
 of Avon, pass- 
 ing the pump- 
 ing station 
 and an old 
 ruined wind- 
 mill before 
 reaching 
 H i g h 1 a n d 
 Park. This is 
 maintained by 
 the street rail- 
 way company, 
 and is of the 
 best of its kind 
 in the country. 
 It has an area 
 
 Taunton River r ^ ^ r 
 
 of twenty-four 
 acres, ornamented by walks, drives, flower beds, shrubbery 
 
EASTERN NEW ENGLAND 
 
 51 
 
 and groves. There is a rustic theatre here in which after- 
 noon and evening performances are given daily. The grove 
 is especially adapted to picnic parties, and the zoological 
 garden is both entertaining and instructive to the children. 
 Leaving the park, the car passes through a section of 
 Montello, where many fine estates of the business men of 
 Brockton are located. 
 
 As the car enters Brockton it passes a fine new build- 
 ing on the left. This is the Old Ladies' Home. A little 
 farther on in a small square is a handsome drinking foun- 
 tain, the gift of George G. Snow. This fountain furnishes 
 a continuous supply of ice water during the summer months. 
 From the centre 
 of the city through 
 cars may be taken 
 for many points — 
 Nantasket Beach, 
 North Easton, 
 Norton, Mansfield 
 and other sec- 
 tions. (See map.) 
 Another line runs 
 to Brockton 
 Heights and 
 Stoughton, there 
 connecting with 
 lines for Canton and the east side of the Blue Hill Reser- 
 vation. (See map.) Another line (see page 46) runs 
 through to New Bedford, and still another to Plymouth. 
 
 Practically all cars radiatin2:in all directions from the 
 city pass the door of the Hotel Belmont, which has become 
 as popular with the trolley tourists as it has always been 
 with the cyclists. Its furnishings and cuisine appeal to 
 the hungry traveller. 
 
 From Brockton the Newport excursionist takes the 
 short line to Taunton, following the old Boston and Taun- 
 ton turnpike through South Easton by cedar swamps, 
 proves and picnic grounds, and through a portion of North 
 Raynham to Taunton, or via the Bridgewaters and Rayn- 
 
 Taunton River, near Dighton 
 
52 
 
 BY TROLLEY THROUGH 
 
 ham, described elsewhere. Either route is delightful, and 
 every moment is enjoyable. The terminus of both lines is 
 at the " green " in Taunton, where the first flag, bearing 
 the device "Union and Liberty," was unfurled. Taunton 
 has a great variety of industries. Here are cotton mills, 
 foundry and machine shops, boiler works, silver works, 
 brick kilns, tack, nail and screw factories, also the herring 
 ways. There are several branch lines running out of 
 Taunton. These are described under the heading of 
 "Branches out of Taunton."

 one, following the course of the beautiful Taunton River 
 and through the charming old towns of Dighton and 
 Somerset. 
 
 Dighton was at one time very important as the centre 
 of the shipping industry. It was the port of entry for 
 Fall River until 1834. The disused wharves along the 
 water side may be seen from the car. The place is noted 
 for its great strawberry farms, which lie along the track 
 of the street railway company. About midway between 
 Taunton and Fall River is Dighton Rock Park. There is 
 
EASTERN NEW ENGLAND 
 
 53 
 
 an interesting old Indian legend connected with Dighton 
 Rock. 
 
 Leaving the park, the car runs through a long avenue 
 of elms to Somerset. The town was once prominent in 
 shipping annals, but its chief interest now is the number 
 of fine old houses to be found here. Some of the most 
 interesting of these are the Jonathan Buffington place, 
 built in 1698; the Perry house, 1728; the Palmer house, 
 1753 ; and the Bragg homestead, 1780. 
 
 Passing along the river and crossing Slade's Ferry, the 
 car enters Fall River. 
 This is one of the great 
 cotton manufacturing 
 centres of the world, and 
 many of the mills may be 
 seen from the car. It 
 contains many fine build- 
 ings. Some of the finest 
 of these are the railroad 
 station, the Armory, 
 Courthouse, the Y. M. C. A. 
 Building, the Public Li- 
 brary, Durfee High School 
 and the City Hall. 
 
 From Fall River a 
 branch line runs to New 
 Bedford through Lincoln 
 Park, Westport Factory 
 and North Dartmouth. 
 Another line runs to 
 Providence through 
 Swansea and across the state line into Rhode Island. 
 This trip offers great variety of scenery, — rivers, ocean 
 inlets, headlands, the islands of upper Narragansett Bay, 
 the town of Bristol and the coast line. The old burying 
 ground in Swansea is a favorite haunt of the antiquarian. 
 
 Leaving Fall River for Newport, a view may be had 
 from the heights of an arm of Narragansett Bay and the 
 opposite shore. The ride is a very pleasant one, passing 
 
 The Old Rhode Island Windmill

 through Tiverton and crossing the old stone bridge, which 
 is the only way of reaching Rhode Island except by water. 
 The route lies through Portsmouth Village and Middle- 
 town. 
 
 Newport is the climax of pleasure for the tourist. It 
 is the most famous summer resort in the country and one 
 of the most famous in the world. There are said to be 
 more splendid residences along Cliff Walk than for the 
 same distance in any other place in the world. The Naval 
 War College is located here, the Torpedo Station, Fort 
 Stuart and many places of historic interest, such as the 
 Governor Bull House, the oldest in Rhode Island, and 
 Trinity Church, built in 1G93.

 THE RESERVATION ROUTE 
 
 THE TROLLEY ROUTE FROM BOSTON TO SHARON 
 AND CONNECTING POINTS, PAST THE STATE 
 RESERVATION AND UNDER THE SHADOW OF 
 THE GREAT BLUE HILLS 
 
 Almost at the door of Boston, easily accessible by 
 trolley, lies one of the greatest recreation grounds in the 
 world, in scenery far superior to the parks of Paris and in 
 its refreshing value surpassing London's famous Epping 
 Forest. Just over the Neponset valley from the city lie the 
 Blue Hills of Milton, the " mountains " of the metropoli- 
 tan district. The trolley tourist from Boston to Sharon, 
 famed far and wide for its healthfulness, passes along this 
 great reservation, owned by the Commonwealth, and by a 
 diverting side trip is able to reach its most beautiful parts. 
 Taking a Mattapan or Blue Hill car at the Dudley Street 
 terminal of the Elevated and riding out through " Unquity- 
 quisset," as the Indians called this part of Dorchester, the 
 terminus of the Boston line is at Mattapan, beautifully 
 situated on the Neponset River, but the car runs through 
 to Canton and Stoughton. Soon after leaving Mattapan 
 the cars pass the residence of Arthur Merritt, owner of the 
 famous Savinhurst Kennels, where a fine view is had of the 
 Blue Hill range. Running between giant elms, one comes 
 to the beautiful residence of Park Commissioner E. P. 
 Whitney, with a fertile valley off to the left. From here 
 the car speedily descends the hill, only to ascend another, 
 from which a wider view is had to the right of the elegant 
 residences of Brush Hill Road and other parts of Milton. 
 On a street bordered by elms of giant proportions the car 
 passes near the fine residence of W. E. C. Eustis and runs 
 into another valley, where a glance to the right reveals 
 Readville and buildings and track of the Trotting Asso- 
 ciation. Passing the Rotch estate on the left, with its 
 ornamental pagoda, near which the line leads off to the 
 
EASTERN NEW ENGLAND 5/ 
 
 right to Readville, the car leaves the fine residences, with 
 their windmills scattered among the trees, and goes 
 through another shaded section to Canton Avenue, the 
 westerly entrance to the Blue Hill reservation, containing 
 4,857 acres and stretching away for miles on the left. At 
 the base of the Great Blue Hill it is worth while to pause 
 in the journey and make the climb to this peak,which com- 
 mands such a magnificent view. The Great Blue Hill is 
 635 feet above sea level, and the road to the summit passes 
 the Casino buildings and then leads off through a beautiful 
 grove known as the Wolcott Pines, winding to the right up 
 the hill through a growth of oaks and birches to come out 
 upon the summit. Here is the Rotch Observatory, world- 
 famous for its meteorological experiments made with kites, 
 and from the bald summit on which it stands the eye roams 
 over the wilderness to the eastward, the great city on the 
 north, the seeming plains of southern and southwestern 
 Massachusetts on the south, and with the opalescent sea 
 shining in the far distance over the reservation takes in a 
 range of scenery almost unsurpassed, all of which is 
 described in an illustrated booklet for sale at the Casino 
 building, entitled " Great Blue Hill and the Reservation." 
 
 A little beyond the Administration Road, after skirt- 
 ing the reservation for some distance, the traveller comes 
 to Blue Hill Street, which leads off to Hoosic-Whisick 
 Lake, or Houghton's Pond, with its picnic ground, half 
 a mile from which is Ponkapoag Pond. 
 
 Going on with the trolley journey, the car passes, on 
 the left, the fine stables and race track of the late J. Mal- 
 colm Forbes, where some of the most noied blooded horses 
 — Arion, Nancy Hanks, Binger and others — have been 
 bred, conspicuous objects in a charming landscape, and 
 passing the old " Cherry Tavern," on the top of Cherry 
 Hill, on the right, one soon comes to the little village of 
 Ponkapoag, located among the rolling hills as they lead 
 down to the valley, being part of the Ponkapoag Planta- 
 tion, a grant of six thousand acres of land set apart for 
 the Ponkapoag tribe of Massachusetts Indians in 1707

 by the town of Dorchester ; on the left, partly hidden by 
 a high fence, is Redman farm, the summer home of 
 Thomas Bailey Aldrich, the well-known poet and author, 
 where was written " From Ponkapoag to Pesth," '' Ponka- 
 poag Papers," etc. Passing the old burying ground, dat- 
 ing back to 1700, where " ¥« English Church " stood 
 from 1754 to 1796, the car comes to Canton Corner. 
 
 Entrance to Blue Hill Reservation 
 
 Here on the right may be seen the Protestant burying 
 ground, church, parish hall and public school, while on 
 the opposite side is the Catholic cemetery. As the car 
 enters 
 
 Canton, the fine residences of Charles H. French and 
 the Hon. Elijah Morse are passed on the right. Here 
 a line runs off to the right to Canton Junction, connecting 
 Norwood and other inland towns of southwestern Massa-

 chusetts by trolley. Canton, set off in 1797, occupies the 
 site of one of the Christian Indian villages established by 
 the Apostle Eliot. Here is the estate of Augusuts Hem- 
 menway, whose gift of the Canton Public Library, which 
 the car passes, is a testimonial to his public spirit. Pass- 
 ing the post office, the car soon comes to " Cobb's Tav- 
 ern," the junction of two trolley lines. 
 
 The one running off to the left takes one through West 
 Stoughton to Stoughton, once a part of Dorchester, which gave up 
 part of its domain to form the town of Canton. The early settlers 
 once knew these now thriving towns as " Mount Hunger Fields," but 
 there are to-day ample evidences of prosperity on every side. At 
 Stoughton connections are made for Brockton, Randolph, Easton and 
 other points in all sections of the Old Colony. 
 
 From '' Cobb's Tavern " the car gradually ascends 
 through a most delightful country until Sharon is reached. 
 This town is famed for the charm of its scenery, the purity

 of its atmosphere and the longevity of its residents. The 
 original name of the town was Massapoag, and later it 
 was called Stoughtonham, taking its present Scriptural 
 name in 1765. Its highest land is Moose Hill, which 
 commands a fine view off to the right, but it has many 
 other hills, most of which are wooded with pine and hard 
 woods. The flora of Sharon is extensive, and its wood 
 violets are of remarkable size and fragrance. Besides 
 its millponds there are two lakes, Wolomolopoag ("sweet 
 water") and Massapoag ("large water"), the latter con- 
 taining 435 acres. The remarkable healthfulness of 
 Sharon is by many attributed to the fact that no water 
 runs into the town from any other town, while its own 
 streams flow directly into several towns. This is because 
 Sharon is situated on the highlands which form the water- 
 shed between the Neponset River and Narragansett Bay. 
 Massapoag Lake, within a few minutes' walk, is a most 
 beautiful sheet of water, surrounded by summer residences 
 and large hotels, and the drives and walks which can be 
 reached from the terminus of the electric lines are many 
 and varied.

 PROVIDENCE TO FALL RIVER 
 
 NEW BEDFORD, MARION, ONSET AND BUZZARDS 
 
 BAY 
 
 A trip full of delightful scenery. Past the islands of Narra- 
 gansett Bay, across rivers and ocean inlets 
 
 The entire line from Providence to Fall River, New 
 Bedford and Onset Bay is not only a model one in construc- 
 tion and general equipment, but is also a ready means of 
 obtaining access to a section of southeastern Massachusetts 
 refreshing in its natural charm and with historic and Indian 
 associations. 
 
 After leaving Market Square, Providence, a run of ten 
 minutes brings one to Tockwatton Hill and Park, overlook- 
 ing Narragansett Bay. Crossing Washington Bridge, built 
 in 188(), over the Seekonk River, the passenger will 
 notice looming up famous Fort Hill to the southeast, where 
 in 1842 guns were mounted. Off to the south is Conani- 
 cut, with a view of the Seekonk River and its banks, and 
 the city of Pawtucket is clearly seen to the extreme north. 
 Leaving, on the right, the substantial Town Hall, built in 
 1888, containing the public library, the car speeds through 
 a rural section and across the Rulins River, a beautiful 
 little stream, to enter 
 
 Seekonk, a small hamlet. The origin of the name of 
 the town is in the cry of the wild geese in the river as 
 heard by the Indians. The route of the railway is through 
 a level and prosperous farming country. About a mile 
 beyond the centre the car passes greenhouses and market 
 gardens to the Monroe Tavern, a former hostelry and stop- 
 ping place for the old stagecoaches running between Provi- 
 dence and Fall River. Near this place the Revolutionary 
 soldiers camped. Passing a picturesque sawmill, the car 
 
 " Wiachester " Heaters make warm liouses. 
 
62 RY TROLLEY THROUGH 
 
 runs through woods, from which the traveller may breathe 
 in the fragrance of the pines. Crossing over the Seekonk 
 line to the outskirts of Rehoboth, famous for its clambakes, 
 and emerging from the trees, the car skirts the northwest 
 corner of the town of 
 
 Swansea. The town was given its name by Rev. 
 John Myles, who came from Swansea, Wales, in 1663, with 
 a small band of exiles, persecuted in their own country on 
 account of their religion. This place was the scene of a 
 fierce Indian attack at the beginning of King Philip's War. 
 The Myles house, situated on the highway, reached by a 
 path along the Palmer River, was used as a garrison house 
 during the Indian troubles. Near here is the Myles 
 Bridge, over the Palmer River, where the Indians and white 
 men fought, June 28, 1G75. Nearly opposite the garrison 
 house is the site of the old Barney shipyards, where at one 
 time more vessels were constructed than any other place 
 in the United States. As the car reaches the east banks of 
 the Palmer River it passes the residence and swine farm of 
 Algernon H. Barney. On the opposite side, a little farther 
 on, is the Graham Tavern, and the road leading to the 
 north is another landmark, where horses were changed in 
 the stagecoach days. The car passes the Baptist Church, 
 erected in 1717, near an ancient burying ground, in which 
 are graves of some of the victims of King Philip's War. 
 One of the stones bears this inscription : " Here lies ye 
 son of Jerimiah and Submit Pearse died June 20, 1731 in 
 ye 14 year of his age and ye first buried in this burying 
 place." The car runs on from here to 
 
 Swansea Centre, where are located the car house and 
 office of the company. From this point a line runs off lo 
 the right to Warren. Soon after leaving the car station 
 the car descends the hill to Milford and Peekaboo Ponds. 
 Near here in a lane leading off to the left is a gristmill ; a 
 tavern was also located here. Over a small stream, locally 
 called " Uncle Sam's Brook," which furnishes power for 
 small mills, the car goes into 
 
 Swansea Village, a delightful town, with its town 
 hall, public library and church. After leaving the village

 Swansea, Mass. 
 
64 BY TROLLEY THROUGH 
 
 the car passes a large white building, the site of one of the 
 old taverns, where the stages stopped to allow passengers 
 to transfer to Somerset and Taunton. West of this build- 
 ing is a path leading to Abram's Rock, a huge bowlder, 
 named for a half-breed Indian of the tribe of King Philip, 
 who deserted his brothers and came to live at the rock. 
 He was captured and ordered burned at the stake unless 
 he could jump from the rock three times safely. On the 
 third attempt he was unsuccessful and fell to the ground 
 lifeless. This locality was visited by white men in 1621, 
 the next summer after the landing of the Pilgrims. Ed- 
 ward Winslow, afterwards governor of Massachusetts, and 
 Stephen Hopkins passed through the village on a visit to 
 Massasoit. Just at the head of the Fall River road is the 
 residence of Mrs. Katherine F. Gardner, the oldest house 
 in the town, supposed to be two hundred and fifty years 
 old. Continuing on, the car ascends the hill to 
 
 Somerset. On the right is Lee's River, where was a 
 town landing. Samuel Lee, for whom the river was named, 
 built in 1707 a ship of 120 tons, and in 1708 a brigantine 
 of 50 tons and a ship of 170 tons, besides many others in 
 later years. From the summit of the hill an extensive 
 view of the country is had. Maunt Hope is across the 
 waters of the bay, Lee's and Cole's Rivers, while in the fore- 
 ground the landscape is dotted with houses in the village 
 of Swansea, among the trees. The Stanley Gypsy Camp is 
 located here. Soon the car comes to Slade's Ferry Bridge, 
 where it connects with the tracks of the Old Colony 
 Street Railway, and goes over the Taunton River into 
 Fall River. 
 
 From here cars may be taken for Newport, R. I., 
 Taunton, Brockton and Boston. (See pages 49 to 54.) 
 
 Leaving Fall River at City Hall, the tourist is taken 
 over one of the iirst cross-country electric lines built in the 
 state. The building of such a line for fourteen miles 
 through a thinly settled section seemed absurd to many at 
 first, but from the start it has proved one of the best pay- 
 ing roads in the state, connecting as it does the manufac- 
 turing centres of New Bedford and Fall River. Fn route 
 
EASTERN NEW ENGLAND 65 
 
 the car takes one through Flint Village, between rows of 
 cotton mills and over Watuppa Ponds, two beautiful sheets 
 of water several miles in length. 
 
 The next point of interest is Westport Factory, a little 
 village with an old cotton mill, situated on the bank of a 
 beautiful lake. In a minute's time the car reaches a great 
 pine grove called Lincoln Park. The park is maintained 
 by the street railway company, and there is always some 
 attraction during the summer months. Open-air theatre 
 performances are given every afternoon and evening, rustic 
 seats and swings are scattered through the grove, and a fine 
 pavilion is kept open for those who delight in dancing. 
 Leaving the park, the car runs through a fertile country, 
 affording a fine view of the rolling land, which extends into 
 Rhode Island. Glancing backward, the spires of the Fall 
 River churches may be seen. Smith's Mills, located on the 
 Paskamansett River, is noted for its water power. 
 
 Passing the New Bedford Country Club, standing on a 
 beautiful, sloping tract of land, and Buttonwood Park, one 
 of the children's playgrounds maintained by the city, it is 
 only a few minutes' run to the centre of New Bedford, 
 now a great cotton manufacturing centre, which was at one 
 time one of the most important whaling cities in the 
 world. It was purchased in 1652 by a company of 
 Plymouth Pilgrims from the good old king Massasoit 
 and his son, Wamsutta, and was settled largely by 
 Quakers, who refused to contribute to the colonial church 
 taxes. The town was almost wiped out by the Indians 
 under King Philip in 1675, and one hundred years later it 
 was burned by the British under King George. 
 
 In 1765 Joseph Rotch, a wealthy merchant from Nan- 
 tucket, came to this place for the purpose of establishing a 
 whale fishery. From this time the town grew rapidly, and 
 the whaling industry became one of great importance. 
 When it was at its height more than three hundred vessels 
 sailed from its port to all parts of the world. The ancient 
 hulks at the wharves waiting to be converted into drift- 
 wood serve as a reminder of the old-time glory of the place. 
 Whaling is still carried on on a small scale, but the city,

66 BY TROLLEY THROUGH 
 
 which was the first to erect a cotton mill, is now one of 
 the most important centres of the cotton industry in the 
 country. 
 
 There are many lines running out of the city beside 
 the one already described to Middleboro, Brockton and 
 Boston, on pages 43 to 48. One runs to Fairhaven 
 through a beautiful residential district ending at River- 
 side Cemetery. Another line runs to Fort Phoenix, described 
 in the trip to Onset. The line running to Fort Rodman is 
 not only delightful for its scenic attractions, but there is 
 much of historical interest to be seen. The trip takes one 
 to Clark's Cove, a broad inlet of the bay. It was in this 
 cove that the British landed in 1778, when they attacked 
 the town of New Bedford. At Clark's Point a fine view 
 maybe had of the old fort in Fairhaven, the distant church 
 spires, and the glistening water on either side. 
 
 The terminus of the line is at the entrance of the 
 government reservation known as Fort Rodman. This 
 was built after the model of Fort Sumter and is to-day 
 supplemented by modern disappearing guns. During the 
 summer months the place is used as a camping ground by 
 the state militia, and attracts many tourists. 
 
 NEW BEDFORD TO ONSET 
 
 This route follows the Indian trail through an open 
 country with intervening forests, past brooks and river 
 and by many popular summer resorts on the shore of 
 Buzzards Bay. 
 
 Starting from the corner of Union and Purchase 
 streets, the car crosses the Acushnet River on one of the 
 finest bridges in the state. The view of the harbor from 
 the bridge is full of interest. To the right maybe seen the 
 picturesque old Fort Phounix, situated among rocks and 
 cedar trees. 'I'his little fort, with eleven cannons and 
 thirty-two men, bravely defended the town against the 
 British until the magazine was blown up and the barracks 
 destroyed. The first naval engagement of the Revolution 
 took place here on May 14, 1775. Near the fort is the fine 
 residence of H. H. Rojiers. 
 
68 BY TROLLEY THROUGH 
 
 Crossing the bridge, it is only a short run to the cen- 
 tre of Fairhaven, which is full of historical places and 
 points of interest. It will repay the tourist to stop off for 
 a short time to visit them. One of the most interesting 
 sights is the old cannon captured by the American pri- 
 vateer from the English frigate in the West Indies in 1777 
 and recaptured by the British the following year. 
 
 Leaving the thickly settled portion of the town, a 
 road leads off on the right to Sconticut Neck and Pope's 
 Beach, a popular summer resort, with fine bathing and 
 various kinds of amusements. Then comes the little village 
 of Naskatucket, where a splendid view may be had of the 
 waters of the bay. Passing on through the pleasant 
 woods, one comes to the herring weir, belonging to the 
 towns of Rochester, Marion and Mattapoisett, on the Matta- 
 poisett River. Many visitors come here in the springtime 
 to see the great number of alewives dipped out of the river 
 in nets. The old custom of giving every widow in the 
 village a barrel of herring is still kept up. Mattapoisett is 
 an Indian name signifying rest. When the Indians from 
 the inland visited the shores of the bay in search of fish 
 and clams they rested at a near-by spring and gave to the 
 land thereabout the name of Mattapoisett. It was once a 
 busy shipbuilding town and to-day contains much that is 
 of interest to the tourist. The old, abandoned wharves 
 which were once alive with the shipbuilding industry are 
 now given over to the use of pleasure boats, owned by the 
 inhabitants of the fine residences which look out over the 
 harbor. 
 
 Leaving the village and passing the residence of 
 Edward Atkinson, the road leads through the Marion 
 woods, crossing several small streams and coming into the 
 town of Marion, which bore the name of Sippican until 
 1852, when it was incorporated as Marion. Along these 
 shores the Plymouth settlers herded their cattle, the income 
 of the rights being devoted to maintaining free schools. 
 The town is now a popular summer resort, and around its 
 beautiful harbor are many fine summer residences. 
 
 A short distance from the centre of the town is Minis- 
 
IT"' "^

 ter's Rock, around which the Indians used to hold their 
 powwows and where the first white settlers worshipped. 
 Near this is the ancient burying ground. 
 
 Leaving the comfortable waiting room of the street 
 railway company, the car passes a delightful growth of 
 fine old trees and through a shady section over a private 
 right of way to the Waweeantitt River. Here fishermen 
 are constantly seen. Off to the right, projecting into the 
 bay, is Great Hill, one hundred and fifty feet high and 
 three-quarters surrounded by water. A delightful sea and 
 land view may be had from the summit. It was here that 
 Captain Benjamin Church met Queen Awashanks and her 
 tribe, who were on their way to Sandwich to make peace 
 with the governor. 
 
 The car passes along through a level, sandy country, 
 which abounds in cranberry bogs, to Wareham. This town 
 is noted for its fine oysters. From the centre of the village 
 the car crosses the Narrows, which is known as the Gate- 
 way to the Cape, along through the woods to East Ware- 
 ham. A short walk from the trolley line, at one of the 
 entrances of the famous Plymouth Woods, is the interest- 
 ing old stage tavern known as Squirrel's Nest. Stories of 
 Daniel Webster are associated with this tavern and section 
 of the country. It is a popular resort of hunters and fish- 
 ermen. 
 
 It is only a short run to Onset Bay, one of the most 
 beautiful spots on the New England coast. Many hand- 
 some summer residences are found here, and the harbor 
 during the summer months is alive with yachts and pleas- 
 ure boats, which glide in and out among the islands. In a 
 grove on an elevation overlooking the bay is one of the 
 camp-meeting grounds of the Spiritualists. Across the 
 street from these grounds is the Union Villa, a large, airy 
 hotel open the year round. A full knowledge of the pro- 
 ceedings of the meetings of the Spiritualists may be had by 
 sitting on the broad piazzas of the hotel. A public steam 
 launch makes regular trips about the head of the bay, sailing 
 past the residences of Grover Cleveland and Joseph Jefferson. 
 
 At Onset Bay a change is made to a car for Buzzards 
 Bay and Monument Beach.

 with a library and relics of great historical interest of old 
 Dedham. The Dedham Boat Club House affords a fine 
 view of the upper Charles River, within sight of which is 
 Powder House Rock, with its Old Powder House, erected 
 in the seventeenth century. A half-mile walk brings one to

 car passes to Monument Square, Woonsocket. Great fac- 
 tories for the manufacture of rubber shoes are seen on 
 every hand. 
 
 There are several short trips from Woonsocket besides the one 
 from Monument Square, past Cold Springs Park and to the Massachu- 
 setts state line to Blackstone, an important manufacturing town, thence 
 through Uxbridge and Millbury to Worcester. To reach Providence the 
 Cumberland Hill car is taken at Depot Square, and at Cumberland 
 Hill cars may be taken to Pawtucket and Providence.

 uing on to Norwood, this is the pretty rural village in 
 which the Old Tavern, the handsome Unitarian Church 
 and the great Norwood Press, where many monthly maga- 
 zines are printed, are among the sights to attract the at- 
 tention of visitors. 
 
 Here a line branches off through Canton, connecting with cars for 
 Stoughton, Brockton or the Blue Hills and back to Boston ; also with 
 cars for Sharon, the popular summer resort. (See page 55.) 
 
 The main line from Norwood passes the Memorial Li- 
 brary and then follows the new state highway for some 
 
 distance, giv- 
 ing a hne view 
 of the Blue 
 Hills before 
 entering Wal- 
 pole, estab- 
 lished De- 
 cember 10, 
 1724. The 
 Common, with 
 its great oak 
 trees, is passed 
 and along the 
 old post road 
 to the village 
 of South Wal- 
 
 pole. In the centre of the town are the remains of two 
 ancient taverns, Polly Tavern on the right and Fuller's 
 on the left. Running through a rural district the car 
 enters Foxboro, a pretty place. Pleasant Park and a 
 handsome granite Memorial Building, in which is the 
 Public Library, are passed on the way to North Foxboro 
 and West Foxboro. 
 
 A line runs from North Foxboro, out to the right, to Wrentham, 
 l>ake Pearl Park and other points in the southwestern portion of the 
 state. 
 
 Making a run through the woods and the open country, 
 the car soon comes to Mansfield, in the centre of a farming

 region and having several small factories with diversified 
 industries. This place was established as a town in April, 
 1770. 
 
 From here abranch line runs toNorth Easton, passing through East 
 Mansfield, Easton Centre to North Easton and thence to Brockton. 
 
 The main line from Mansfield across the country passes 
 the Norton Reservoir to Norton, established as a town 
 March 17, 1710. Here is the famous Wheaton Seminary, 
 founded in 1835 by Judge Laban Wheaton. The Public 
 Library was the gift of Mrs. Wheaton and the Town Hall 
 was the gift of Nathaniel Newcomb. 
 
 Another 
 branch runs east 
 to Taunton, past 
 the old copper 
 works, where the 
 blanks were 
 made for the old 
 copper cents ; 
 thence through 
 Norton Furnace, 
 where a foundry 
 was established 
 in 1695. This 
 line runs 
 through the vil- 
 lage of Oakland, 
 past Woodward 
 Springs, a public 
 park, before en- 
 tering Taunton. 
 
 The main line south from Norton runs through the vil- 
 lage of Chartley, with its large jewelry factories, to the 
 village of Attleboro, settled in 1669, established as a town 
 October 19,1694. About fifty jewelry and plating works are 
 in full operation here, sending their products all over the 
 world. 
 
 At this point a branch line runs to Taunton via Rehoboth to Taun- 
 ton Green. (See Taunton branch lines.) Another line runs north to 
 Plainville, Wrentbam, Lake Pearl and Franklin, there connecting with 
 another line to Woonsocket, Blackstone, Millbury and Worcester, fol- 
 lowing closely the Blackstone Valley.

 From Attleboro the main line runs south to Pawtucket, 
 incorporated as a town 1828. This was formerly wdthin 
 the limits of Seekonk. The first manufacture of cotton 
 cloth by machinery, run by water power, was at this place. 
 The water power is very great and the fall of the river 
 within a short distance is fifty feet. 
 
 The Bristol County line also connects Pawtucket and 
 Taunton. From Pawtucket the route may be resumed to 
 Providence, settled in 1636. The First Church was organ- 
 ized in 1720, St. John's in 1722, and the First Baptist 
 Church in 1775. A short distance away may be seen the 
 Tillinghast Mansion, 299 Main Street, 1710; Brown Uni- 
 versity Hall, 1770; Gammell Mansion, 1786; Deputy 
 Governor Elisha Brown's House, 1761, and Roger Wil-

 The following is a description of the lines radiating 
 from the trunk lines previously described. 
 
 FROM hJROCKTON . 
 
 Brockton is the centre for several lines of cars ; one con- 
 necting with Abington, North Abington and other places 
 on the South Shore. Another to Whitman, Kingston and 
 Plymouth. Another connects with the line to East Bridge- 
 water. Still another runs to North Easton, where the great 
 Ames factory is located, the largest manufactory of shovels 
 in the world. Here are the elegant estates of the Ames 
 families, and their liberality to the town has made and 
 built up a flourishing community. The High School, Rail- 
 road Station and Memorial Unitarian Church are the work 
 of Richardson, America's greatest architect. From North 
 Easton cars run to Mansfield, Norton, Attleboro and Prov- 
 idence. A fourth line from Brockton runs to Stoughton, 
 which leaves Brockton by way of Pleasant Street, passing 
 the handsome granite Episcopal and Congregational 
 churches to Park Street, where on the left is the Melrose 
 Cemetery, and just beyond, on the same side, is the old Solid 
 Rock Tavern, an ancient, yellow-painted hostelry set back 
 from the road and deriving its name from the gigantic 
 bowlder which looms behind it. The ride from this point 
 to the centre of Stoughton is through an attractive farming 
 country. At the centre connections may be made with cars 
 running through to Stoughton, Eastondale, Canton, Sharon 
 and Norwood or return to Boston via Canton and the Blue 
 Hills Reservation. (See page 55.)

 FROM TAUNTON 
 
 Several branch lines run from Taunton, one of the most 
 popular trips being to Sabbatia Park, situated on Sabbatia 
 Lake, formerly Scadding's Pond. Here is sylvan scenery 
 of the finest, and a wooded island adds to the charms of 
 the lake. Another line runs through the villages of West- 
 ville, past Annawan Rock, named after one of King Philip's 
 last and bravest generals who was captured here August 
 28, 1676, Rehoboth, Seekonk and East Providence to Provi- 
 dence. Rehoboth is an interesting town, settled by Wil- 
 liam Blackstone in 1645, and in a competition with Boston 
 for the honor of being the state capital it was once de- 
 feated by only one vote. Being so close to Mt. Hope it suf- 
 fered its full share of the miseries of the Indian war. The 
 first blood was spilt within its original borders, which at 
 that time comprised Seekonk, Pawtucket, Attleboro, Cum- 
 berland and a part of Swansea and Barrington, which was 
 called Wannamoiset by the Indians. Another line runs 
 to Attleboro and Norton, there connecting with towns in 
 the southwestern part of Massachusetts. A fourth line 
 runs through East Taunton and Middleboro to Lakeville. 
 
 From Taunton there is a cross-country line running 
 to Providence and Attleboro. It goes out of the city, 
 leaving on the right the suburb of Britanniaville, noted 
 for its great silver-plating establishments and manufactories 
 of tableware. Crossing Three Mile River it passes 
 through the little settlement of Oakland and then goes 
 through a farming country into North Rehoboth. Reho- 
 both is interesting from the fact that it was once a com- 
 petitor with Boston for the honor of having the state 
 capital located there, and was defeated by only one vote. 
 P'rom Rehoboth the line goes along the country roads until 
 it comes to a little place known as Briggsville, or Briggs's 
 Corners. Here one line goes off to the right into Attle- 
 boro, which is known all over the world for its manufac- 
 tures of jewelry and plated ware, a number of establish- 
 ments furnishing employment for a considerable popula- 
 tion. The other line keeps to the left, and soon after 
 crossing the state line between Massachusetts and Rhode

 Island reaches Hebronville, another place which is en- 
 gaged in jewelry and small wares manufacturing. Here 
 Ten Mile River is followed for a short distance, the line 
 going through Lebanon Mills, with its picturesque mill- 
 pond. Seven Mile River is the next of the numerical 
 streams crossed, this being a continuation of Four Mile 
 Brook. Soon the sights of the country begin to give way 
 to those of the city, and the car enters Providence, where 
 connections may be made with lines in every direction.

 OVER THE OLD STAGECOACH ROUTE AND TURNPIKE 
 VIA BOSTON & WORCESTER TROLLEY AIR LINE 
 
 It is somewhat surprising to the visitor to Boston to 
 see in Park Square a trolley car marked " Worcester," for 
 few people realize what a system the trolley lines of the 
 state have become, and the change when the stagecoach 
 succeeded to the post-rider between Boston and Worcester 
 was not greater than that wrought when the Boston & 
 Worcester Air Line was completed, running cars from 
 Boston to South Framingham and Worcester without 
 change. 
 
 It was in 1786 that Nathan Stone started a weekly 
 post route between Boston and Worcester. About 1790 
 Timothy Stearns embarked in the enterprise. Then Levi 
 Pease, the father of New England stagecoaching, started a 
 line between Boston and Hartford, making a trip in four 
 days, the far£ being ten dollars. In 1834 the steam train 
 took the place of the stagecoach, and now the trolley has 
 in part replaced the steam line, the long-distance, high- 
 speed electric attracting thousands every year to the route 
 for the pleasure of travelling, while thousands upon thou- 
 sands more use the line for business. The Boston <^ 
 Worcester Street Railway marks the highest development 
 of electric traction in New England, and the line serves as 
 a connecting link between the eastern and western parts of 
 Massachusetts. It is the longest line in New England, 
 transporting passengers between these two large centres 
 without change, affording them not only comfort but the 
 luxuries of street railway travel. 
 
 Not only does this line run through a section full of 
 historic associations and a succession of beautiful land- 
 scapes and charming valleys, but it opens up an opportu- 
 nity whereby those living within a raduis of ten miles of 
 the Hub may visit the many cities, towns and country 
 places throughout the heart of the Commonwealth accessi- 
 ble by trolley and return the same day, while those living 
 in the central portion of the state may trolley to Boston 
 and have ample time to visit the historic places, seashore

 resorts and picturesque scenery which abound in all direc- 
 tions along the shore. 
 
 Starting from Park Square in Boston, the Worcester 
 and South Framingham cars run out Columbus Avenue, 
 into Massachusetts and Huntington Avenue, where the 
 Massachusetts Horticultural Society's home and Sym- 
 phony Hall are seen on the right. The car passes on the 
 left the New England Conservatory of Music, and on the 
 right the Children's Hospital, before coming upon the 
 Back Bay Fens, where the Italian palace of Mrs. John L. 
 Gardner, known as Fenway Court, is seen off to the right. 
 It is a typical specimen of transplanted Italian architec- 
 ture filled with the rarest art treasures of the Old World. 
 Again crossing the parkway, the car comes to Brookline 
 Village transfer station. Here the line for the first time 
 comes to the old turnpike road of stagecoaching days. 
 A short run is made over the hills between fine residences 
 for which Brookline is noted. Chestnut Hill Reservoir, 
 with its pumping station in the foreground, is off to the 
 right, while in the distance are the handsome residences 
 and castle-like structures crowning lovely Corey Hill. 
 
 Running through a succession of pleasant groves of 
 pine, with comfortable houses set back among pleasant 
 lawns on either side, the car comes to the village of New- 
 ton Upper Falls, where connections may be made for all 
 parts of the Newtons, Highlandville and Needham. From 
 the top of the hill at Newton Upper Falls there is a wide 
 view over the valley of the Charles River, or as the Indian 
 called it, the Quinnobequin. 
 
 At the foot of this hill is a bridge across the Charles 
 River, and looking to the left one may see the famous 
 Hemlock Gorge Reservation, a great pleasure ground 
 where thousands go every week in summer to find recrea- 
 tion. The picturesque charm of the river, the groves of 
 fragrant pine and hemlock, and the glimpses of wild nature 
 on either hand make this one of the most delightful spots 
 to be found on the journey. Echo Bridge, the aqueduct 
 which carries Boston's water supply across the Gorge, has 
 become famous for its repeating echo.

EASTERN NEW ENCLAND 87 
 
 Leaving the reservation the car goes through the 
 green woods where scenes of pastoral beauty add to the 
 delights of travel. At Wellesley Hills, one of the prettiest 
 of Boston's suburban towns, cars may be taken for Welles- 
 ley, Natick and South Natick. The car goes along 
 Worcester Street, through a section lined with houses with 
 shaded roads and openings, through which there are views 
 of fertile farms and meadows. At North Natick connec- 
 tions may be made with cars for Natick, Cochituate and 
 Wayland, situate on the banks of the charming Sudbury 
 River as it flows northwards. The car speeds on to the 
 road over Lake Cochituate, a beautiful sheet of water 
 extending from the central portion of the town and along 
 the borders of Framingham and Wayland. Then there is 
 a run over long reaches of straight track, with hardly a 
 house in sight, leaving the passenger near to nature and 
 giving him a variety of scenery which can hardly be sur- 
 passed. Ahead may be seen the grounds of the Massa- 
 chusetts state militia. 
 
 At this point the two lines of the Boston c\: Worcester 
 separate. The Worcester car continues directly ahead, 
 while the South Framingham car runs to the left on a 
 double track, with the Militia Grounds on the right. The 
 view when the troops are encamped here, with their well- 
 ordered rows of white tents and the flag of the United 
 States floating over the camp, is inspiring The run is a 
 short one into South Framingham, where the terminus is 
 reached at the railroad station. 
 
 The Worcester car continues on to the right of the 
 State Militia Grounds, over the Sudbury River, which flows 
 peacefully through a rich valley. Ahead of the car is Normal 
 Hill, on which are located the buildings of the State Normal 
 School and the Framingham Water Works standpipe. 
 
 Coming into Framingham Centre, an interesting old 
 village, the car goes by the old Central Hotel, once a 
 famous hostelry, on the right. After leaving the village 
 one comes to the old basin of the Metropolitan water sys- 
 tem, called the Framingham Reservoir. Passing on, the 
 car runs through the little village of Fayville, a pretty 
 
 "Winchester*' Heaters for hot water or steam heat.

 rural town among the hills overlooking the great basin. 
 Leaving the village and following along the edge of the 
 water, one soon comes to White's Corner, where a transfer 
 may be made to cars running through to Marlboro and 
 Hudson. 
 
 This side trip is a delightful ride, making a half circle 
 around the great water basin, affording a fine view of the 
 surrounding country. Passing through a section of South- 
 boro, the Episcopal St. Mark's School for Boys is passed on

 This is an historic town, where Eliot had a village of pray-

 warriors in 1676. On the left of Main Street is the hne 
 Holy Trinity Episcopal Church, a gift to the parish by J. 
 Montgomery Sears. Going through the business district, 
 passing the railroad station on the left and the new 
 high school building on the right, the car comes to the 
 Soldiers' Monument nearly opposite the G. A. R. Hall, in

 which .hangs the John Brown bell, captured by Marlboro 
 troops at Harper's P'erry. In the square is the fine First 
 Baptist Church, built of granite. From here the cars run 
 over the hills through a beautiful country into Hudson, the 
 terminus of the line. One of the sights of the town is the 
 falls of the Assabet River. Connections may be made here 
 with Worcester, Fitchburg, Concord and Boston. 
 
 Continuing on the main line to Worcester from White's 
 Corner, the car goes through a fertile farming country, 
 and past fruit orchards laden in season with an abundance 
 of pears, peaches and apples, soon coming into the town 
 of Westboro, one of the old colonial towns set apart by 
 Samuel Shute, colonial governor of Massachusetts, in 1717, 
 under the second charter of King George I. At the cross- 
 ing of the tracks of the Marlboro & Westboro Street Rail- 
 way, connections may be made with ?>kIarlboro on the right 
 and North Grafton and W^orcester on the left. Beyond 
 here the Worcester car comes in view of Lake Chauncy, 
 with its popular summer grounds, named for the second 
 president of Harvard College, who suffered fines, imprison- 
 ment and exile for his religious opinions. The buildings 
 of the Lyman School for Boys, a state reformatory insti- 
 tution, and of the State Insane Hospital at Westboro may 
 be seen above the shores of the lake on the right. 
 
 The town of Westboro is noted as being the birth- 
 place of Eli Whitney, inventor of the cotton gin, who 
 revolutionized the cotton industry, but who, like many 
 other inventors, did not reap the profits of his invention. 
 The car comes to the little village of Wessonville, and 
 soon goes over the line into Shrewsbury. This place was 
 settled by people from Marlboro about 1717, and named 
 in honor of Charles, Duke of Shrewsbury, In this town 
 Artemas Ward, the first major-general of the Revolution- 
 ary Army, was born and lived. The town is picturesquely 
 located among the hills, which command wide views of the 
 surrounding country. One of this town's historic houses 
 which the car passes is the old Balch Tavern, used as a 
 hostelry in stagecoach days, and in 1792 taken by the town 
 as a smallpox hospital. A short run brings the passenger

 leading to Grafton and Providence, is the site of the old 
 Harrington Tavernj and half a mile farther on, at the top 
 of Arcade Hill, is the Arcade Tavern, which in the old 
 days was a favorite stopping place for travellers. 
 
 The Pease and Harrington taverns are located in the 
 centre of the town, some distance to the north of the car 
 line, the car passing through the little hamlet of Southville.

 The Pease Tavern was the principal stopping place of

 as an inn, and when Washington visited the house on his 
 journey to New England, Farrar became by far the most 
 prominent man in the community. Later he sold the 
 place to Levi Pease, who maintained its traditions, and it 
 is said that its tables afforded something better to drink

 Along the INorth Shore 
 
 and to Cape A.nn 
 
 THE BEST WAT by which the summer traveler can enjoy the 
 jeauties of the picturesque shores of Massachusetts, north of Boston, is to take 
 I trip hy the new and palatial steel steamer CA PE ANN, and the popular 
 steamer CITY OF GLOUCESTER of the 
 
 Boston and Gloucester Steamboat Co. 
 
 Each town and city in this region has an historic interest, and is worth 
 a visit for its own sake. 
 
 THIS ROOTE affords to tourists one of the finest ocean trips along 
 the North Shore, a distance of thirty miles, with scenery unsurpassed. Some 
 of the points of interest seen from the deck of the steamer are the Beautiful 
 Islands of Boston Harbor, including Forts Independence and Winthrop, and 
 Deer Island, and also a view of all the lighthouses of the Bay. Passing out of 
 Boston Harbor, the first sight of interest is the renowned summer resort of 
 NAHANT, its shores and beaches lined with cottages and summer resi- 
 dences. Next come the shores of Swampscott and the quaint old town of 
 Alarblehead. Then passing Halfway Rock, where the crews of the fish- 
 ing fleet cast their pennies on their outward trips for good luck and safe return. 
 Next in view come Lowell and Baker's Islands, off the shores of Beverly. 
 Lowell Island, with its large hotel, makes one of the many beautiful spots on 
 the coast. 
 
 On Baker's Island are the Twin Lights so well known to mariners enter- 
 ing Salem and Beverly Harbors. Then comes Manchester-by-the-Sea, 
 one of the most fashionable watering places on these shores. Then comes 
 Magnolia, with its walks to Rate's chasm, and Norman's Woe Rock, made 
 famous by Longfellow's poem, " The Wreck of the Hesperus." 
 
 Entering the harbor gives one a fine view of the city of Gloucester, the 
 most renowned fishing port in the world; also noted for its drives and beauti- 
 ful summer resorts for pleasure-seekers. The harbor is noted for its beauti- 
 ful beaches for sea bathing, as well as for its boating and fishing. 
 
 The Steamers connect at Gloucester with the Gloucester and Rockport 
 Electrics, which run through Main street, out over Little Good Harbor Beach, 
 across Brier Neck to the new summer resort at Long Beach, a delightful ride 
 of two and a half miles. (At the Pavilion on Long Beach can always be ob- 
 tained a first-class fish dinner. The traveler has ample opportunity to visit 
 this charming spot, from which is had one of the finest views on the whole North 
 Shore, refresh the inner man, and take the steamer on her return to Boston.) 
 
 The Gloucester Electrics offer delightful rides, either to Rocky Neck on 
 the east side of the harbor, or to Lanesville on the north side of the Cape. No 
 ride in Essex County presents more diversified scenery of land and sea than 
 the latter, and the stay of the steamer at Gloucester allows sufficient time for 
 its enjoyment.

 than water from the noted sulphur spring which is near 
 the tavern. 
 
 The country in Shrewsbury is broken and uneven, and 
 a succession of hills and valleys greets the eye of the 
 traveller, unfolding a panorama of beautiful landscapes. 
 To the southwest is Prospect Hill, which overlooks Lake 
 Quinsigamond, forming a silver bow nearly four miles long 
 between Shrewsbury and Worcester. There is ahead a 
 view of the buildings of the State Insane Asylum at 
 Worcester, on the slope of a green carpeted hill. 
 
 Descending the hill, the car comes to a bridge across 
 the beautiful lake, which takes the place of the famous 
 Boston & Worcester Turnpike bridge. This was built by 
 sinking wooden cob-house piers to the bottom of the lake, 
 sixty or seventy feet. The central pier was sixty by sixty 
 feet and the others sixty by thirty feet and placed about 
 thirty feet apart. These piers were sunk by weighting, but 
 never secured a firm and even foundation, so that on the 
 morning of September 19, 1817, just as the bridge was 
 about completed, it turned over, and the vast amount of 
 timber, some 54,000 feet, floated on the surface. The next 
 winter a third bridge was built on the ice and swung into 
 position the following spring. This bridge was replaced 
 by the present one. 
 
 Passing over the bridge, the views are delightful in 
 every direction, and running by many of the popular 
 summer camps and residences which dot the shores, the 
 car goes by way of Lakeview and Bloomingdale, around 
 '' Dead Man's Curve," through Shrewsbury and Front 
 streets to the City Hall, Worcester, where connections 
 may be made with all the surrounding towns and all parts 
 of the city. 
 
 A detailed description of the various trolley trips 
 west of Worcester, up the Connecticut Valley and to New 
 York may be had in ''By Trolley Through Western New 
 England," by Derrah, for sale on all news stands for 
 10 cents.

 THROUGH OLD HISTORIC ESSEX 
 COUNTY 
 
 BOSTON TO LYNN, SALEM, GLOUCESTER AND 
 AROUND CAPE ANN, WITH BRANCH LINES INTO 
 THE WITCH COUNTRY AND ATTRACTIVE RE- 
 SORTS OF THE SHORE 
 
 One of the most delightful trips which one can take 
 is along the Atlantic coast, where the landscape and shore 
 views are unequalled, and the colonial and provincial his- 
 tory of the shore towns is well preserved. From the Scol- 
 lay Square station of the Subway the traveller boards a 
 Lynn car, and riding through Charlestown, then across the 
 Mystic and through Chelsea and a part of Revere, over 
 the great salt marshes, across the inlets of which on the 
 right may be seen the waters of the bay, the Saugus River 
 is soon seen. Crossing the Saugus River drawbridge the 
 car enters Lynn. The great plant of the General Electric 
 Works is seen on the right, and on all sides are the great 
 shoe factories for which Lynn is so famous. Before reach- 
 ing the splendid library and City Hall, the car passes 
 along South Common Street, on the right, the oldest church 
 and first burying ground. Central Square is the terminus 
 for all electric lines. These run in all directions, affording 
 many pleasant side trips. (See Branch lines from Lynn.) 
 
 Continuing on the main line from Lynn, a Salem car 
 is taken through upper Swampscott, past many fine resi- 
 dences on Lafayette Street, South Salem, the car after a 
 short run reaches the terminus near Salem City Hall. 
 Salem has manyinteresting branch lines and is, in fact, anim- 
 portant street railway centre. (See Branch lines from Salem.) 
 
 In Salem itself much of interest is to be seen, for it 
 was founded in 1623, before Boston became a town. Here 
 lived Hawthorne, Bancroft and other men of letters ; here 
 was the centre of the witchcraft delusion, and it was once 
 
 Smith <t TbayerCo., Boston, make " W^acbest^r" Neuters*

 the principal seaport in the New World. Of the historic 
 houses, that of Roger Williams is on the corner of North 
 and Essex streets; the Shattuck House, of witchcraft fame, 
 is at 317 Essex Street; the Pickering Mansion, built in 
 1649, is at 18 Broad Street; and the house visited by 
 Lafayette in 1784 and by Washington in 1789 is at 13« 
 Federal Street. Hawthorne's birthplace was at 21 Union 
 Street, and the. House of the Seven Gables is at 64 Turner 
 Street. Gallows Hill, where those convicted of witchcraft 
 were executed, is at the head of Hanson Street. 
 
 Resuming the journey on the main line to Gloucester, 
 a Beverly car is taken, running down Essex Street. On the 
 right in Derby Square is the Salem Town Hall and Market, 
 built in 1816, and just beyond is the East India Marine 
 Hall, open to visitors free on week days and containing 
 many scientific specimens and models of naval architecture. 
 A little farther on, on the left, are the Cadet Hall, the 
 Salem Athenaeum and Library and the Essex Institute, 
 the last-named containing a fine historical collection. In the 
 rear of the Athenaeum is a small wooden building said to be 
 the first church erected in New England, of which Roger 
 Williams was pastor. A short ride brings one to Essex 
 Bridge, where a beautiful view is had of the surrounding 
 country. It was here Washington alighted from his car 
 riage,while on his way to the house of Hon. George Cabot, 
 to admire what was in those days a remarkable structure. 
 After the bridge is crossed the car enters Beverly, settled 
 in 1626, and one of the most attractive summer residential 
 sections on the North Shore. Here are the Roger Conant 
 House and the Cabot mansions and the First Parish Church 
 The ancient burying grounds are worthy of a visit. The 
 passenger, however, is likely to find more of interest in the 
 splendid modern residences which are found in large num 
 bers in this charming and well-kept town. 
 
 Continuing on the main line to Gloucester, and pass- 
 ing by well-kept farms and a diversity of beautiful and 
 natural scenery, the car soon comes to Turtle Hill Park, 
 where an observatory crowns a rocky hill ; through 
 Montserratt, a summer settlement, and crossing an arm 
 
 " Winchester " Heaters make warm houses. 
 
EASTERN NEW ENGLAND 109 
 
 of Longham Meadow with Rock Bald Hill rising on the 
 right; then passing Thompson's Corner the car runs 
 through a corner of Wenham and then into Hamilton. 
 Running up and down a series of rolling hills rich in ver- 
 dure, it soon reaches Crooked Lane Hill, where a line 
 leads off to the left for Ipswich, Rowley, Newburyport, 
 Exeter and other sections of Maine and New Hampshire. 
 (See "Through Three States.") TheGloucester line crosses 
 the town line in Essex, Chebacco Lake being seen on the 
 right. Centennial Grove, a popular picnic ground, is lo- 
 cated on the banks of the lake. The car then enters 
 Essex Falls, one of the most charming rural villages in 
 New England, over an old and picturesque stone bridge, 
 which spans a pretty little stream, and along Martin Street 
 into Essex, with its summer cottages and Town Hall and 
 Library building, the gift of the late T. O. H. P. Burnham 
 of Gloucester. Leaving the little village of South Essex 
 behind, one is taken for some distance through pine woods 
 with farmhouses in the occasional openings. Another 
 pretty stream is crossed, and through a great natural 
 granite gateway on Slough Hill the car runs to West 
 Gloucester. Emerging from the woods upon a hillside, 
 from which a charming glimpse is had of Annisquam, 
 across the 'Squam River on the left ; farther on a 
 view is had of the rocky islands in the 'Squam. At 
 Fernwood Lake another grand view is had of Annis- 
 quam and Gloucester. Crossing over an arm of the 
 'Squam River, which makes Cape Ann an island at 
 high tide, Rocky Neck, Ten Pound Island and Eastern 
 Point, with their lighthouses, are seen on the right as the 
 car enters quaint old Gloucester, a village in 1G25, the 
 most famous fishing port in the world ; and its " flakes," 
 where fish are dried, and the homes of its " Captains Cour- 
 ageous " are worth an extended visit. The tourist who 
 stops in Gloucester will find no place more delightful than 
 the Surfside, with its splendid seaward outlook over a fine 
 sand beach ; reaching the heart of the city, where one is 
 afforded an opportunity for a trolley trip around the Cape.

 port and Pigeon Cove, returning by way of Lanesville, Bay 
 View and Annisquam, occupying one hour and forty min- 
 utes, at a cost of only twenty cents, is a most delightful 
 one, following as it does a rugged coast nearly the entire 
 distance. The car for Rockport and Pigeon Cove is taken 
 on the main street, and runs through a beautiful rural 
 scenery, passing the old stone barn at Beaver Dam, thence 
 over Baitcut Hill, where a magnificent view of the ocean is 
 to be had, taking in the whole of the north of Massachu- 
 setts Bay. Descending the hill. Cape Pond Grove, with 
 fine grounds, is on the right, and directly the car enters 
 Rockport, running up streets with quaint, ancient houses 
 standing between modern suburban cottages. On the left 
 is Memorial Hall. Then through the business section of 
 the town the car soon brings one to Pigeon Cove and 
 among the cliffs overlooking the sea. The Cape Ann quar- 
 ries are passed on the left, and from the car may be seen 
 the great chasms from which granite has been taken for 
 years. On the right, over the sheltered shipping, the 
 rolling waters of the ocean merge from deep blue to 
 a misty gray on the outer horizon. Far out may be 
 seen the terrible trap in the open sea known as "The 
 Salvages." Pigeon Hill is two hundred feet above the sea 
 level, and from the eminence parts of the coast line of three 
 states may be clearly seen. To the northward stretches 
 away the New Hampshire coast, and the Isles of Shoals and 
 the mountainous coast of Maine may be seen. Looking 
 seaward, the broad expanse of ocean is an entrancing 
 sight, and beyond Straitsmouth and Thatcher's Islands, 
 with their lights, one must travel three thousand miles east- 
 ward to find another coast like that before him. It is only 
 a short run on the return trip before one reaches Lanes- 
 ville, from the hills of which there are extensive views of 
 northern Essex and New Hampshire coasts. Going on to 
 Bay View, one passes more of the great granite quarries, 
 and as the car enters the little village many handsome 
 summer cottages are passed. Continuing on, the line runs 
 along the north side of the cape, coming to Annisquam, 
 with its handsome villas and the picturesque cottages of the 
 
 " Winchester" Heaters heat homes best.

 fisher folk. Annisquam is much visited by artists in sum- 
 mer, and some famous paintings have had their origin 
 here. Going back to complete the journey around Cape 
 Ann, the line runs through the pretty summer village of 
 Riverdale and reenters the quaint old city from which one 
 started one hour and forty minutes ago. 
 
 There are two other lines out of Gloucester, one to 
 Rocky Neck, East Gloucester, and the other to Long 
 Beach, both popular resorts, with sea bathing on a sandy 
 beach. At Long Beach there is a pavilion, dance hall, 
 bowling alley, etc. Near this beach extends a rocky shore, 
 where a beautiful sea view can be obtained of Thatcher's 
 Island.

 UP THE MYSTIC VALLEY 
 
 TWO ROUTES FROM BOSTON TO WINCHESTER, 
 LOWELL AND NASHUA, N. H., PAST THE 
 PICTURESQUE MYSTIC LAKES AND ALONG THE 
 HIGHWAYS OF MIDDLESEX COUNTY 
 
 There are many different routes from Boston to the 
 northern part of the state, all rich in natural scenery and 
 historic interest. There is the " Paul Revere Route," pass- 
 ing through charming Lexington, or one may ride through 
 the towns and cities of Middlesex County. Many beauti- 
 ful rides may be taken through a country of picturesque 
 and untamed scenery. The two routes hereinafter de- 
 scribed are of unflagging interest to the traveller and will 
 well repay him for the time expended. 
 
 Taking a car at the Sullivan Square terminal of the 
 Elevated for Medford, passing by Mystic Trotting Park, 
 the buildings of Tufts College are soon seen on the left, 
 and crossing over Cradock Bridge, the car passes the old 
 Butters and Wait houses, the ancient Town Hall and the 
 brick Secomb House, built in 1756, the Wade Garrison 
 House and the armory site. The Royall mansion house in 
 this town tells of the splendid state of Isaac Royall, 2d, 
 a Tory, who maintained a brick paved courtyard and ser- 
 vants' quarters. In the square a change is made to a car 
 running through to Lowell without change. After a short 
 run through a finely cultivated farming district the car 
 enters the handsome residential town of Winchester, which 
 is picturesquely situated near the Mystic Lakes, under the 
 frowning heights of the Middlesex Fells Reservation. 
 Winchester was formerly a part of Medford, West Cam- 
 bridge and Woburn and was incorporated as a town in 
 1850. The handsome Town Hall and Public Library are 
 in the centre of the town. Old colonial houses are found 
 on many streets, among them being the country mansion 
 
 "Winchester" Heaters for hot water or steam heat.

 of Hon. Edward Everett on Mystic Pond, near the site of 
 an old Indian wigwam. 
 
 From here side trips may be taken to Arlington and back to Bos- 
 ton, a beautiful trip through shaded woodlands, passing Mystic Lake 
 on the left, to Arlington, through Massachusetts Avenue and Harvard 
 Square to Boston, 
 
 Another line leads off to the right to Stoneham, where connection 
 may be made to Melrose, Reading, Wakefield and other places. 
 
 From Winchester on the main line the cars runs north 
 up the valley, with many charming views. Passing through 
 farms and woods, the car arrives at Woburn, settled in 
 1630 and incorporated as a town in 1642, rich in historic 
 annals from the first settlement. A fine collection of gene- 
 alogical archives are in the Winn Public Library, well 
 worth a visit. 
 
 At Woburn a line leads off to the left, running through Burling- 
 ton to Billerica and thence to Lowell. Another line connects this 
 town with historic Lexington, while one may go to the right on a third 
 trolley journey to Stoneham, Wakefield and Reading. 
 
 It was in Woburn that the first tannery was estab- 
 lished in 1642, and now grown to a large group of estab- 
 lishments, sending their product all over the country. 
 
 On the road to North Woburn is the old Baldwin 
 mansion on the left, originally owned by Colonel Baldwin, 
 who commanded a regiment in the Revolutionary Army. 
 Continuing northward from North Woburn to Lowell, the 
 trolley line passes Squaw Pond and along the famous " Ox- 
 Bow " of the old Middlesex Canal, traces of which may 
 be seen from the car. On entering Wilmington the car 
 passes pretty suburban residences and attractive farm- 
 houses, and also the " Tim " Carter House, said to be the 
 oldest in Wilmington. 
 
 From here one may take a car for Billerica and Lowell. Enter- 
 ing the open country again one strikes the towpath of the almost for- 
 gotten Middlesex Canal, which connected Lowell and Boston by a 
 water way in the early part of the century. The picturesque and grass- 
 grown wasteways are seen at intervals. Following the old canal 
 through the country where the cattle graze peacefully on the towpath, 
 the swift electric car takes one past one of the largest cranberry bogs 
 in the state and crossing the rushing Shawsheen River. As the bridge 
 is crossed, on the right are seen the ruins of the massive gray stone 
 piers, all that is left of what was the great double lock of the canal. 
 
 " Winchester " Heaters never disappoiat. 
 
EASTERN NEW ENGLAND 117 
 
 After a pleasant ride through fragrant pines and over country roads, 
 the car goes through East Rillerica, and after a run through more 
 woodland, reaches a high elevation from which in clear weather Mount 
 Tom and Mount Wachusett in Massachusetts and Mount Monadnock 
 in New Hampshire may be seen, while there is a fine nearer view of 
 Lowell and its vicinity. In the little village of Billerica one passes 
 the High School and the residence of Hon. Joshua B. Holden. 
 Glimpses of the Concord River are had as the car runs through forest 
 and fields, and just before entering North Billerica a tablet on a 
 weather-beaten house on the right marks the birthplace of Asa Pollard, 
 the first to fall at Bunker Hill. Crossing the Concord River and leav- 
 ing the town behind, with its great Talbot Chemical Mills, the car goes 
 through a part of North Chelmsford and enters Lowell, world-famous 
 as the city of spindles. After passing the Fair Grounds and the 
 Butler School on the right, the car goes between the new Courthouse 
 and a large Catholic Church. Farther down the street it passes the 
 Post Office and Federal Building and runs into Merrimac Square, the 
 termJnus for all the cars entering the city. 
 
 Continuing on the 
 main line the car soon 
 reaches Silver Lake, a 
 very pleasant summer 
 resort. There are many 
 cottages near the lake, 
 which is a popular resort 
 of Lowell campers in 
 the summer time. 
 
 Crossing the Shawsheen River and entering Tewks- 
 bury, the car goes by picturesque old houses, and also 
 near the great " carnation farms," where millions of the fra- 
 grant blossoms are raised for the city markets. In the 
 town of East Billerica are located the great buildings of 
 the State Almshouse. From Tewksbury the car goes on 
 to Lowell, world famous as the city of spindles, and on 
 entering the city a fine view is afforded of the residential 
 section before coming to the terminus at Merrimac Square, 
 Lowell. 
 
 There are many pleasant short trips out of Lowell. The Paw- 
 tucket line runs up the leftbankof the Merrimac for some distance, past 
 a ferry to Tyng's Island, where the Vesper Country Club has its Club- 
 house and golf links, to Tyngsboro, which had an important part in 
 the Indian wars. The Chelmsford line runs to an historic town, with 
 a cemetery, where lie many heroes of Revolutionary fame. That to 
 Centralville goes to the "Yellow Meeting-House" and Dracut Oval,

 famous for the international cricket matches. The Nesmith Street and 
 Westford Street lines run through the aristocratic sections of the city, 
 and the Fort Hill line goes through Belvidere, with its fine residences, 
 to Fort Hill Park, from the summit of which there is a view for many 
 miles in every direction. 
 
 There is a choice of two routes from Lowell to 
 Nashua, both of which afford a diversity of scenery. The 
 one via Lakeview Park runs across the Merrimac River, 
 affording an extensive view of the great cotton mills, and 
 the Pawtucket Falls, from which they derive their power, 
 and after a short run reaches Lakeview Park, a popular 
 summer resort maintained by the street railway company, 
 
 located on the banks of 
 Lake Mascuppic, wdth all 
 the usual park conven- 
 iences, all shaded by a 
 magniticent grove which 
 has been richly endowed 
 by nature. Leaving the 
 park, the electric runs 
 through wood and field, 
 past farms and pastures, 
 following along charming 
 Beaver Brook, and crosses 
 the Merrimac River into the city of Nashua, N. H., some- 
 times called the gateway of the "Switzerland of America." 
 The other route from Lowell to Nashua is via Pelham, 
 N. H. Starting from Merrimac Square on a car marked 
 Haverhill the ride is through a delightful rural country.

 INTO THE GRANITE STATE 
 
 THROUGH MALDEN, MELROSE, WAKEFIELD, READ- 
 ING AND THE TOWN OF ANDOVER TO LAWRENCE 
 AND NASHUA 
 
 An interesting ride is into the Granite State, with its 
 many pleasant inland towns, beautiful lakes, rural scenery, 
 and views of the beautiful Concord River. 
 
 Leaving Boston on the trip, by a Maiden car at Sulli- 
 van Square terminal of the Elevated, and crossing the new 
 Mystic bridge, a quick run over the hills of Everett brings 
 one to Maiden Square, Maiden, incorporated a town in 
 1649. There are many beautiful buildings in Maiden, 
 among them being the Memorial Building, containing the 
 Public Library of 30,000 volumes, and the Art Gallery. 
 This was a gift to the town from the noted philanthropist, 
 Hon. Elisha S. Converse, who also gave the site of the 
 handsome brick High School building. Cars run from 
 the square to all the surrounding towns. 
 
 Passing by Pine Banks Park, on the right, one of the 
 finest pleasure grounds in America, the factories of the 
 Boston Rubber Shoe Company are soon seen, with charm- 
 ing background of the Middlesex Fells Reservation. The 
 car soon enters Melrose, formerly a part of Maiden, which 
 was established as Melrose in 1850. At Melrose High- 
 lands a car is taken that runs through the picturesque 
 little village of Greenwood with its many market gardens. 
 Crystal Lake, bordered by attractive residences, is passed 
 before the car enters Wakefield, formerly called South 
 Reading, the name being changed in 1868, in honor of 
 Cyrus Wakefield, who established the rattan industry and 
 the great factories here. For nearly two miles the ride is 
 along the shore of pretty Lake Quannapowitt, with many 
 a winding turn, affording delightful views. About a mile 
 from the lake the car enters Reading Square in Reading.

 This was known until 1644 as ''Lynn Village." Leaving 
 the square for Lawrence, and running through Main Street, 
 West Village in North Reading is soon reached. The 
 old turnpike over which the car runs is sixty-six feet in 
 width, and is a splendid roadway. At West Village the 
 car crosses the Ipswich River and through a beautiful 
 rural country, past Foster's Pond, to Andover an ancient 
 academic town, settled about 1643 on the Indian lands of 
 Cochichewick, which was bought from the natives for 
 $26.64 and an old coat. Andover was affected by the 
 Indian wars and the witchcraft delusion. The buildings 
 and grounds of the Abbot Seminary, founded in 1878, and 
 Andover Theological Seminary, founded in 1808, are in 
 the centre. At 147 Main Street, "America" was written. 
 The extensive buildings of Phillips Academy are stretched 
 out over a large campus on the west side of Main Street, 
 and on the opposite side may be seen the Theological 
 Seminary, near which is the Mansion House, the home of 
 Harriet Beecher Stowe. From here lines run through to 
 Bradford and Haverhill, on the south of the Merrimac. 
 
 Leaving Andover, the ride to 
 Lawrence is a pleasant one with 
 a wide diversity of scenery. 
 Crossing the Shawsheen River to 
 Free Village, passing over the 
 state highway and through South 
 Lawrence, a fine view of the great 
 dam of the Merrmac River is 
 seen, which furnishes the power 
 to the great cotton mills. The 
 car soon reaches Lawrence, found- 
 ed in 1847 from parts of Andover 
 and Methuen, and incorporated 
 as a city in 1853. A great cotton 
 manufacturing city, it employs 
 many thousands of operatives in 
 its large mills. Here is an important street railway centre, 
 lines running to the beautiful towns of North Andover, 
 Methuen, two lines to Haverhill; to Salem and Lynn via

 From Lawrence to Nashua the run is through a settled 
 section to Methuen, with its Memorial Hall, public library 
 and church. Off to the right a splendid view is had of 
 Greycourt, the palatial stone castle of Charles H. Tenney, 
 below which is the tower of the great Searles estate across 
 the valley of the Spicket River, from which a commanding 
 view is had for miles around. From here the ride is a cool 
 and refreshing one through a natural woodland unspoiled 
 by the landscape architect ; along over a perfect roadway 
 among the shaded nooks, over hills and open reaches to 
 Pelham Centre, where cars may be taken for Lowell. The 
 ride from Pelham to Nashua is a delightful one through 
 the forest of primeval pines and hemlocks. After leaving 
 the junction the car mounts a range of hills and runs 
 through a private way. The view from the elevation is 
 inspiring, the chain of hills forming a complete circle. 
 North Pelham, a small hamlet, is passed, and through a 
 succession of panoramic views the car travels, while in the 
 distance ahead may be seen the cluster of white houses 
 which guard the little church at Hudson Centre. The 
 business centre of the town is farther on, on the banks of 
 the Merrimac, which the car crosses before it enters the 
 bustling city of Nashua, the terminus of the line.

 DOWN THE MERRIMAC VALLEY 
 
 From Lowell to the Sea, through the Great Cot-

 Trips to Places of Historical Interest 
 
 Famous alike in song and story is the Merrimac Val- 
 ley, the home of a score of writers who have won world- 
 
 Glen Forest, Lawrence, showing the Merrimac River 
 
 wide renown. The trip from Lowell down this valley, 
 now the home of one of the world's greatest industries, — 
 the cotton manufacture, — is of continual interest, and from 
 Haverhill to the sea a choice of routes is open to the trol- 
 ley tourist. The great manufacturing cities, the thriving 
 towns and the places of great historical interest offer to the 
 tourist a variety of charms, while the lovely valley itself is 
 always beautiful in any time or season of the year. 
 
 The car starts from Merrimac Square in Lowell, cross- 
 ing the river, with its magnificent water view, and then

 runs along on the high bank overlooking the mills, the view 
 of which when the windows are lighted at dusk is never to 
 be forgotten. Passing through EUsmere, the car goes into 
 old Dracut, with its ancient " Varnum's Landing," affording 
 a view of the high rock, " Deer Leap," on the opposite side, 
 near the celebrated Hood stock farm. At the landing one 
 may take a ferry across to the farm. Running along the 
 river bank, the traveller comes to Glen Forest Park, a popu- 
 lar entertainment ground maintained by the street railway 
 company, where the people of Lowell and Lawrence find 
 amusementsof all kinds. Leavingtheprettyparkonthebanks 
 of the Merrimac, the traveller enters Lawrence, founded 
 April 17, 1847, from parts of Andover and Methuen and 
 incorporated March 31, 1853, as a city. It is a great cot- 
 ton manufacturing city, the mills employing many thousand 
 operatives. The great dam across the river is one thou- 
 sand feet long and has a fall of twenty-eight feet, and fur- 
 nishes power to the mills. Here is an important street 
 railway centre, lines running to the beautiful towns of 
 Andover, North Andover, Methuen, Reading, and to Salem 
 and Lynn via Middleton, besides the main line down the 
 Merrimac Valley. 
 
 BRANCH LINES 
 
 Andover is reached by taking a car at the corner of Broadway 
 and Essex Street, passing the Pacific Mills, and then across the river, 
 where a fine view is had of the dam. Through South Lawrence the 
 car goes over the state highway to Free Village and over the Shaw- 
 sheen River to Andover. (For description of Andover see " Into the 
 Granite State.") The town was settled in 1643 and was affected by 
 the Indian wars and the witchcraft delusion. From Andover a line 
 runs to Reading, one of the straightest roads in the state (see " Into 
 the Granite State ") ; another line runs through to Bradford and Haver- 
 hill on the south of the Merrimac. 
 
 North Andover, Middleton, Danvers and Salem are reached by 
 another line from Lawrence. (See " Branch Lines from Salem.") 
 
 Another line runs to Methuen, incorporated as a town December 
 8, 1725, when part of Haverhill and certain common lands were estab- 
 lished as Methuen. Situated on the hills, it is reached by a third line 
 out of Lawrence. The Nevins Library and the Soldiers' and Sailors' 
 Monument, the gift to the town by C. H. Tenney, crown a beautiful 
 hill. The Nevins, Tenney and Searles estates are well-known private 
 grounds. LeFarge's masterpiece, "The Resurrection Morning," is in 
 the First Church.

 line runs to Canobie Lake Park, one of the most popular 
 summer resorts in the Granite State. (For description see 
 "Lowell to the Sea.") Another line runs to Haverhill, 
 called the Short line. The car, 
 leaving the city, runs over the 
 Spicket River and through a neat 
 German settlement. Leaving the 
 outskirts of Lawrence, the ride is 
 through a well-shaded section for 
 some four miles before coming to 
 the main line near Ayer's Village. 
 (For description see " Lowell to 
 the Sea.") 
 
 Continuing on the main line, 
 the car leaves Lawrence along 
 Essex Street, passing the Com- 
 mon, the City Hall and Court- 
 house, and over the Spiggot River 
 through a corner of Methuen and 
 
 Fairview Village to the great Russell celery farm, from 
 which a fine view is had to the right. Following the 
 river, the old red barn on the Bradley farm, once a tavern, 
 is passed, and running past Bradford Neck and Mitchell's 
 Falls enters Haverhill, established as a town May 10, 
 1643. Through Washington Square the car goes to the 
 transfer station, where connections may be made to all 
 points of the Merrimac Valley. Haverhill is an interest- 
 ing city, principally noted for its manufactures of boots and 
 shoes. It was the Pentucket of the Indians and was pur- 
 chased of them in 1642. It suffered much from Indian 
 raids in later days, and it was here that Hannah Duston, 
 whose exploit of killing her Indian captors was made 
 famous, was taken. The first steamboat that ever floated 
 on the Merrimac was built here, and Haverhill has been 
 the birthplace of many distinguished men. 
 
 From Haverhill a line runs through South Groveland, crossing 
 the Merrimac River, to the south bank and then going on to George-

 As has been stated at the beginning of this trip, a 
 choice of routes is open from Haverhill to the sea. Fol- 
 lowing the route on the south bank of the Merrimac, the 
 car passes the old Spiller Garrison house on the left, built 
 in 1690 out of bricks brought from England, and just be- 
 yond on the same side is the old powder house, built in the 
 War of 1812. Then comes the almshouse on the right, 
 and after passing Riverside Park the car goes over the 
 river, where the steamer which plies between Haverhill 
 and the sea loads its passengers from the open drawbridge. 
 Going into Groveland, the car passes Perry Park on the 
 left, and then comes to the great pleasure ground on the 
 banks of the river known as "The Pines." Here are 
 boats, swings, a dancing pavilion 
 and electric fountain and other 
 attractions. From here the line 
 runs on to West Newbury. Off 
 to the right is Brown's Hill, from 
 which may be seen a great pan- 
 orama of farms and villages, wliile 
 the eye may follow the broad 
 Merrimac until it is lost in the 
 dim blue of the Atlantic. The 
 car continues along the south 
 bank of the river through a 
 beautiful farming country with 
 occasional glimpses of the water, 
 running into Newburyport, where 
 the Merrimac widens to meet 
 the sea. 
 Near the terminus of the line at Market Square was 
 the house of "Goody Morse," who was convicted of witch- 
 craft. From the corner of State and Pleasant streets the 
 car passes the Catholic burying ground on the left, Atkin- 
 son Common, the Home for Aged Men, the Pillsbury 
 place, once the home of Edward Rawson, who was secre-

 strainers and pans for sugar scoops. In Brown's Square, 
 given to the city by Moses Brown in 1802, is the statue of 
 William Lloyd Garrison. The city hall is across the 
 street. Before turning into State Street the car passes the 
 meeting-house of the first religious society.

 as it is pictured in "Snow-Bound," for the Whittier Memo- 
 rial Society of Haverhill takes great care in preserving the 
 historic gift, and all the places of interest have been 
 thoughtfully marked with tablets. A short ride brings one 
 to Sanders Hill, from which a fine view is also had of the 
 hills of New Hampshire on the left, as the car nears the 
 dividing line between Haverhill and Merrimac. Crossing 
 the line the car runs over Tucker's Hill, with another 
 beautiful view and enters Merrimac Square, Merrimac. 
 
 From here there are two lines to the sea. One runs 
 to Salisbury Beach, climbing over Pond Hill, from which 
 is seen the stock farm of E. Moody Boynlon, inventor of 
 the bicycle railway, on the right in West Newbury. Half- 
 way down the hill is the Thomas Chellis House, built in 
 1695, and just beyond a road leads off to the left to Lake 
 Attitash, a popular summer resort, now accessible by elec- 
 trics from either Haverhill or Amesbury. Passing the old 
 castle of Sir Edward Thornton on the right, and going by 
 Union Cemetery, where Whittier is buried, the line runs 
 into Market Square, Amesbury, where the poet lived from 
 1840 until his death.

 mg-House, and soon enters Salisbury, where the Passacona- 
 way Indians left great heaps of clamshells as reminders of 
 their ancient feasts which were held here. The car runs 
 on through East Salisbury to Salisbury Beach, a fine beach 
 six miles long, a popular summer resort, with the full shore, 
 Hampton River and the Isles of Shoals in sight. This is 
 one of the finest of the Atlantic coast beaches, and is noted 
 as the place where James T. Fields, Bayard Taylor and 
 John G. Whittier camped out, the event being immortalized 
 in Whittier's poem, "The Tent on the Beach."

 LOWELL TO THE SEA 
 
 A delightful Ride through quaint New England 
 Towns to beautiful Canobie Lake Park and 
 noted Hampton Beach, making good connec- 
 tions for Lawrence, Haverhill, Amesbury, 
 Newburyport and Salisbury Beach 
 
 One of the greatest street railway systems of Eastern 
 New England is comprised in what is known as the New 
 Hampshire Traction Company's electric lines. By means 
 of the various links in this system all the cities and 
 towns of the Merrimac Valley and the southern section 
 of New Hampshire are bound in a network of trolley lines. 
 The company enjoys the distinction of having one of the 
 most popular street railway parks in the world. The main 
 line of the system runs from Lowell, Nashua, Lawrence 
 and Haverhill to the sea, skirting the boundary line of 
 the two states several times in making its direct progress 
 down the Merrimac Valley. 
 
 Starting from Merrimac Square, Lowell, on a car 
 marked " Haverhill," one is carried across the Merrimac 
 River, lined on either side to the left by the great factories, 
 while Fort Hill Park looms up to the right. Continuing 
 through Dracut, with its blockhouse and memories of 
 Indian warfare, the car passes over a private right of way 
 to the New Hampshire town of Pelham, which was once 
 a part of the Masonian Grant, and although within thirty 
 miles of the capital of New England was not settled 
 until 1722 and incorporated in 1746. From here a line 
 of the same system runs off to the left to Nashua, N. H. 
 (For description see " Into the Granite State.") 
 
 Again over private right of way the car goes to Point 
 A Junction, where one may take a car for Lawrence. (See 
 "Into the Granite State.") A short run beyond the junc- 
 
134

 tion brings one to Canobie Lake Park. This attractive 
 resort is an ideal spot for rest and recreation, for nature 
 and man have joined to make it attractive. This fine 
 domain, recently opened to the public, has within its 
 
 bounds fifty acres of park land, divided between stately 
 forest, sweeping lawn and grand flower beds, separated 
 by wide walks and promenades, and curving to the shore 
 of a magnificent body of clear water three hundred and

 eighty-five acres in extent. Thie buildings that have been 
 placed over the grounds in accordance with a prearranged 
 artistic design are the best that have ever been erected 
 in a public park. They are constructed of the finest 
 materials, skilfully built and beautifully finished, and are 
 painted in an artistic color scheme that harmonizes with 
 their surroundings. There is the large Japanese theatre 
 with its acres of seats shot through by the trunks of the 
 forest monarchs, over which is an immense varicolored 
 awning that sways with the breeze, but keeps the stray 
 beams that flitter through the trees from annoying the large 
 audiences that assemble to enjoy the theatrical perform- 
 ances. The dancing pavilion, open on all sides to the 
 breeze, yet sheltered and surrounded by a wide roofed 
 promenade, has a highly polished floor of large dimen- 
 sions. The restaurant is unique in that it is arranged 
 in the shape of a St. George cross, so that all the rows of 
 tables are near to the windows and the breeze. The ser- 
 vice is perfect and the cuisine varied. Among the other 
 attractions at the park is the fine assortment of boats and 
 canoes, fishing skiffs and pleasure launches. A giant 
 roller coaster and a merry-go-round are near the entrance 
 to the park and are the delight of the children and young 
 folks. The athletic arena for the exclusive use of the 
 patrons of the park has one of the finest ball grounds in 
 the New England states, and an amphitheatre with a 
 capacity of many thousand seats. A private picnic ground 
 with a large shelter tent is provided for parties that desire 
 to have their crowd together and yet want to enjoy all the 
 privileges of the park. Swings, benches and rustic seats 
 are scattered over the park in profusion, and everything that 
 will add to the comfort and pleasure of its patrons has 
 been provided by the management. 
 
 Leaving the park the traveller soon comes to Salem 
 Centre with its great elms forming an archway over the 
 highway. The town was made from parts of Haverhill, 
 Dracut and Methuen and incorporated in 1752, the charter 
 being confirmed by the Masonian Proprietors in 1759. 
 Continuing through a section of substantial New Hamp- 
 
EASTERN NEW ENGLAND 137 
 
 shire farms with apple orchards in abundance, one comes 
 to Ayer's Village, a typical Massachusetts community, 
 where a line runs off to the right to Lawrence. ( For descrip- 
 tion see "Down the Merrimac Valley.") From here to 
 Haverhill the ride is through a fertile farming country, 
 with many pretty little farmhouses scattered along the road- 
 way, and presently the city of Haverhill may be seen ahead. 
 Passing the Tilton Tower on the right, from which a com- 
 manding view is had of the surrounding country and the 
 ocean, one reaches Haverhill, where a change is made to a 
 through car over the same system that runs to Hampton 
 Beach, connecting for Hampton, Exeter and beyond. Pass- 
 ing through City Hall Square, in the centre of which is the 
 monument of Hannah Dustin, of Indian War fame, one is 
 soon in the open country with rolling hills, over which the 
 car swiftly moves, affording splendid views of charming 
 scenery and picturesque spots on every side. Before enter- 
 ing Plaistow the car goes over a high elevation, from which 
 the little village of Atkinson, purchased from the Indians 
 in 1642, may be seen on the left. Plaistow was set apart 
 from Haverhill and incorporated as a town in 1749. Pass- 
 ing the car station of the company and running through 
 Newton, a little village which sent many of its early set- 
 tlers to the battle of Bunker Hill, one comes back .nto the 
 Bay State again, in the outskirts of Amesbury, passing Lake 
 Attitash, charmingly described by Whittier. Entering Ames- 
 bury one passes on the right the little white Quaker meet- 
 ing-house, which Whittier attended, and a little farther 
 on, on the same side, was his home. Running into the 
 business section of the town, the car passes between the 
 great Amesbury mills to Market Square. 
 
 There are two lines north from Amesbury, one to Exe- 
 ter and Portsmouth by the route described " Through Three 
 States." The other is through Seabrook to Hampton Beach, 
 a popular summer resort. The ride from Amesbury to the 
 beach is a lovely one, with beckoning woodpaths and 
 running brooks on either side. The whiff of the salt 
 air invigorates the nostrils as the car enters Seabrook, 
 where a Quaker meeting-house was built in 1701. After 
 
EASTERN NEW ENGLAND 139 
 
 leaving Seabrook the car runs over the waving salt 
 marshes and a new bridge nearly a mile in length, 
 built by the street railway company, affording a grand 
 sea view, to Hampton Beach, a famous beach of the 
 New England coast, with large hotels and summer cot- 
 tages. Boar's Head, near here, is a bold bluff seventy 
 feet high, projecting into the sea from a stony strand, and 
 affords a perfect view of the sixteen miles of New Hamp- 
 shire coast with the line of coast along Essex County. On 
 the south may be seen the rugged coast of Cape Ann, 
 while to the north is Mount Agamenticus with the Isles of 
 Shoals to the northeast. The beach is a gradual slope of 
 sand, and here the street railway company has erected a 
 large Casino. 
 
 This Casino contains everything that a day's or a sea- 
 son's enjoyment might demand. There is a beautiful the- 
 atre, where vaudeville and other performances of the highest 
 grade are given ; an immense convention hall, used after- 
 noons and evenings for dances, with the assistance of a 
 full orchestra ; large bathing accommodations and facili- 
 ties, with hot and cold fresh water showers, two hun- 
 dred bathrooms and easy access to the surf; splendid cafe, 
 where anything may be ordered with the assurance of 
 perfect cookery and satisfactory service ; a long dining 
 room, where is served the finest coast dinner obtainable ; 
 concerts three times daily, by a brass band of over twenty 
 pieces ; shooting lodge, athletic oval and all the minor facili- 
 ties in the way of amusement and refreshment that tend to 
 make one's stay more enjoyable. 
 
 From Hampton a line follows the shore, past Little 
 Boar's Head, through Rye to Portsmouth. In returning 
 one can take the car at the beach for Hampton or Exeter 
 and change at Hampton to a car for Amesbury and 
 Haverhill.

 Chelsea, Revere, Lynn, Salem and Beverly, by a route 
 fully described elsewhere. A fine view is afforded of much 
 of the most beautiful part of old Essex County, and the 
 Gloucester line is followed as far as Crooked Lane Hill, 
 where, instead of going on to the right to Cape Ann, the 
 car turns to the left and finally enters Ipswich. This place 
 was incorporated as a town in 1634 from a part of old 
 "Aggawam." The first permanent settlement was made 
 
 1 
 
 
 
 The Governor Dummer House, Byfield, built 1709 
 
 in 1633 by John Winthrop, Jr., and twelve others. The 
 First Congregational Church, organized in 1634, and beau- 
 tiful Sagamore Hill in Hamilton, formerly a part of Ips- 
 wich, are seen on the right. The car enters the square 
 called South Green, with the Old South Church upon the 
 right. Crossing the Ipswich River and past the Hosiery 
 Mills into Central Square, the Soldiers' Monument and the 
 Manning and Grammar schools are on the right. Soon 
 the car passes the Payne School and the old Ipswich 
 burying ground, where the early settlers of the town are 
 buried. At High Street crossing a change is made to the 
 
142 BY TROLLEY THROUGH 
 
 cars of the Georgetown, Rowley (S: Ipswich Street Railway. 
 The car runs over a series of hills, and from Egypt River 
 Hill a beautiful view of the surrounding country is had. 
 Descending the hill, the Ipswich pumping station and 
 water works are passed, and Prospect Hill may be seen. 
 Soon the car enters Rowley, settled in 1638 and incor- 
 porated September 4, 1639. The First Church was organ- 
 ized in 1639. 
 
 Passing the Common, the Eagle House, the burying 
 ground and the Baptist Church, the car goes to Bailey's 
 Corner and Foss's Corner, over Town Brook, past Dum- 
 mer's Gristmill and the old stone bridge. An old milestone 
 marks the bordering line between Rowley and Byfield. 
 This is the seat of Dummer Academy, founded, in 1763, by 
 a bequest by Lieutenant-Governor Dummer, and where the 
 car stops stands a milestone erected in 1708. 
 
 From Byfield a line of cars runs to Georgetown and 
 Haverhill. This car turns off to the left at the academy, 
 passing " Fatherland Farm," a noted place owned by A. 
 B. Forbes of Springfield, past Parker River, Newbury Falls, 
 the Bylield Woollen Mills and the Byfield station of the 
 Boston & Maine Railroad. On passing Gorham Jewett 
 Corner the Georgetown line is reached, with Pentucket 
 Lake on the right. Passing the Perley Schoolhouse 
 and the Baptist Church, the car runs into Georgetown 
 Square 
 
 Georgetown, incorporated in 1838, was the western 
 part of Rowley. The highest land in the county of Essex 
 is Bald Plate. From this elevation an extensive view may 
 be obtained of the valley of the Merrimac and the beauti- 
 ful town of Haverhill. The Leighton and Fletcher houses 
 being passed, the line runs north past York Club Grove, a 
 noted pleasure resort on Pentucket Lake, and then two 
 miles through the woods, passing Rock Pond, enters South 
 Groveland, where a road runs from Parker's Corner to 
 Johnson's Pond. On this pond is a pleasure resort, the 
 Grove, which is reached via a little steamer line. 
 
 Returning to Dummer Academy to keep on the main 
 
EASTERN NEW ENGLAND 143 
 
 line to the north, leaving the academy the car crossing 
 Parker River over Thurlow Bridge, runs through the east- 
 ern part of Newbury, past the Town Hall, along the old 
 turnpike. The Boston & Maine Railroad tracks on the 
 right are crossed on a trestle bridge, and the car enters 
 Newburyport. Running through State Street, past New- 
 buryport burying ground, the famous Wolf Tavern, the 
 Young Men's Christian Association building and the 
 Public Library on the left, the terminus of the line is 
 reached. At Newburyport a change is made to cars which 
 run through Salisbury, Seabrook, Hampton, Hampton Beach 
 and Exeter, N. H. 
 
 At Newburyport cars may be taken for Haverhill, 
 Salisbury Beach, Plum Island, Amesbury and Merrimac. 
 The line connecting with the Exeter car runs through an 
 open country with seaward views, crossing the recently 
 established Massachusetts-New Hampshire boundary, and 
 soon comes into the little town of Seabrook, which de- 
 rived its name from the many brooks which run through 
 it to the sea. It was originally a part of Hampton Falls 
 and settled as early as 1638, and was troubled by Indian 
 warfare. From here a line runs to Hampton Beach on the 
 right, while to the left one may go to Amesbury and sec- 
 tions of southern New Hampshire. For description see 
 "Lowell to the Sea." 
 
 A ride of about fifteen minutes from Seabrook brings 
 one into the pretty village of Hampton Falls, formerly a 
 part of Hampton, incorporated in May, 1718. In 1770 
 this was the leading manufacturing town in the state. 
 The town has a large monument erected by the state to 
 the memory of Meshech Weare. At George Tavern took 
 place the conferences in which the boundary dispute be- 
 tween New Hampshire and Massachusetts was discussed, 
 ending in the final surrender of twenty-eight towns to New 
 Hampshire. Leaving the town and passing over the great 
 salt marshes which surround it, a fine view is had of 
 Hampton Beach off to the right. Then the car enters 
 Hampton, passing the Gen. Jonathan Moulton house and 
 
144 BY TROLLEY THROUGH 
 
 the Toppan or Garrison house, and running between giant 
 oaks which furnish shade much of the way into the little 
 square where the Whittier Hotel, known in stagecoach 
 days as the Union House, is located. This was the half- 
 way house of the stage line from Newburyport to Ports- 
 mouth. Hampton abounds in gray old colonial mansions, 
 and is traversed by broad and pleasant roads. It was 
 settled in 1638, on the Indian domain of Winnicummet, 
 and was long exposed to Indian attacks. The traveller 
 will find much that is pleasant and interesting in this old 
 town. 
 
 From here a branch line runs off to the right to Hampton Beach, 
 a particularly attractive journey in summer, where the color studies 
 are such as will delight the soul of an artist. 
 
 The main line from Hampton runs through a pros- 
 perous farming country, along an elevation commanding 
 delightful views to Exeter, founded in 1693 by Rev. John 
 Wheelwright, who had been banished from Massachusetts 
 for his alleged heretical doctrines. Its early name was 
 Falls of Squamscott ; for many years it was the capital of 
 the state. The Legislature and Committee of Safety held 
 here many sessions during the Revolution. It is now the 
 county seat of Rockingham County. It suffered much 
 by attacks from Indians. Exeter Academy is one of the 
 oldest American schools. On Front Street a large bowlder 
 marks the spot where Whitefield preached his last sermon. 
 In the city proper the car makes a complete circuit, pass- 
 ing the Town Hall, Public Library, Courthouse, Acad- 
 emy, site of Gen. Enoch Poor's house and other points. 
 
 Leaving Exeter on the way to Portsmouth, the car 
 passes over the Squamscott River and through its shaded 
 streets of elms into the open country, with farms backed 
 up by ranges of hills in the distance. Before reaching 
 the town of Stratham the car reaches a high elevation, 
 from which a grand view is had of the small towns of 
 Newfield and Newmarket as they restfully nestle among 
 the trees over the valley of the Squamscott. Newmarket 
 was set off from Exeter as a parish in 1727. Mrs. Fanny 
 
EASTERN NEW ENGLAND 145 
 
 Shute, who died in this town in 1819, was taken when 
 thirteen months old by the Indians, and disposed of to 
 the French Canadians, with whom she remained for thir- 
 teen years before being restored to her friends. After a 
 short run the car reaches Stratham, located in a pic- 
 turesque spot affording many excellent views. This town 
 was originally a portion of the Squamscott Patent granted 
 to Edward Tilton in 1629 and known as Winnicutt ; it was 
 incorporated as a town in 1715, the first meeting being 
 held April 10, 1716. 
 
 Leaving this quiet little town the car increases its 
 speed and the air becomes more refreshing and the scen- 
 ery more charming as the passenger is carried through 
 a prosperous farming country, with the waters of the 
 Great Bay off to the left and Stratham Hill on the right, 
 from which a view can be had seaward and the New 
 Hampshire mountains are seen to the north. Entering 
 Greenland after passing over the Winnicutt River, the car 
 passes on the left the old Block House, said to be the 
 oldest brick house in New England. The row of neat 
 houses along the well-shaded roadway and the " Parade " 
 are attractions to the eye. Greenland was set off from 
 Portsmouth in 1704 and granted full town privileges in 
 17*21. The orchards and gardens of this town are very 
 valuable and yield an annual profit to the farmers. Com- 
 ing out of the village into an open farming country, and 
 passing the Standpipe and Powder House, you soon enter 
 the historic city of Portsmouth. 
 
 From Portsmouth a line runs through Kittery and 
 Eliot to Dover, N. H., there connecting with a line to 
 Somersworth and Rochester. From Dover a line also runs 
 through to York Beach. 
 
 The line from Portsmouth not only gives many delightful views 
 of the wild and rugged shores of New Hampshire and Maine for 
 miles, but takes one through a succession of picturesque spots, for 
 the villages of Kittery, Kittery Point, Sea Point, Seabury, York and 
 York Harbor are all full of old colonial houses, ancient burying 
 grounds and historic places. York is famous as a summer resort.

 BRANCH LINES OUT OF LYNN 
 
 LYNN TO LYNN WOODS, CLIFTONDALE, MALDEN, 
 NAHANT BEACH, EAST SAUGUS, PEABODY, DAN- 
 VERS, MARBLEHEAD AND SWAMPSCOTT 
 
 Lynn is the terminus of many branch lines, all of them 
 delightful and well worth visiting. One of the many 
 pleasant trips is to Lynn Woods, where connections may 
 be made with lines for Wakefield, Reading, Lowell and 
 many other places. The Lynnhurst car taken runs 
 through the business and manufacturing districts, and 
 then through the residential part of the city, passing the 
 Reservoir and pumping station on the left, and Breed's 
 Pond on the right before arriving at the main entrance of 
 Lynn Woods. This park, the largest in the country in 
 proportion to the adjoining population, is a part of the 
 Metropolitan Park System, and has many and varied at- 
 tractions. If it is desired to return to Lynn another way 
 a walk to Glen-Lewis Pond will bring one to cars running 
 back to Lynn via Wyoma Lake and Wyoma Village. 
 
 Cliftondale and Maiden are reached by another line 
 from the square, the car running through open farming 
 country in Saugus and then through East Saugus and Clif- 
 tondale, passing Franklin Park Trotting Park before en- 
 tering the residential portion of Maiden. 
 
 Nahant Beach, famous for its handsome residences, 
 rocky cliffs and its fish dinners and seashore attractions, is 
 reached by a short run from Central Square or the rail- 
 road station by another electric line. 
 
 East Saugus and Saugus Centre are reached by still 
 another branch which runs from Lynn through a country 
 of market gardens, orchards and farms, the line continuing 
 on to Melrose, where connections may be had for Lowell, 
 as well as other points in the Mystic Valley.

 Peabody and Danvers are reached by electric lines 
 from Lynn as well as Salem. Both are quaint and inter- 
 esting towns. The line from Central Square, Lynn, after 
 leaving the business section of the city, passes Spring, 
 Brown's and Bartholomew ponds, with their semi-public 
 picnic grounds. At the last-named pond a short walk 
 brings one to Ship Rock, the largest bowlder in Essex 
 County. Passing through South Peabody the car runs into 
 Peabody, named for George Peabody, the great London 
 banker and philanthropist, who was born here. The Pea- 
 body Institute on Main Street contains many interesting 
 relics, including the portrait of Queen Victoria given by 
 her to Mr. Peabody. In the square is a monument to the 
 minutemen of Peabody and Danvers, near the site of 
 the famous Bell Tavern. In the square is the Old Berry 
 Tavern, a popular place for trolley parties. On the line 
 from Peabody to Danvers, at a place called Roger's Gate, 
 there is a magnificent view of the surrounding country. 
 One may look across the valleys for miles ; Beverly, Dan- 
 vers and Wenham and other neighboring towns are seen 
 in the distance. The line continues to Danvers, settled in 
 1628. Here the witchcraft delusion flourished in 1692, 
 and the Rebecca Nourse house may be seen, while near by 
 stands the monument in her memory, as one of the vic- 
 tims with Giles Cory, John Proctor, Rev. Mr. Burroughs 
 and others who suffered death on Witch Hill. The ancient 
 homestead of the Putnams, where Israel Putnam was born, 
 is carefully preserved, with the chamber containing the 
 original furniture. The Governor Endicott House, Endi- 
 cott Pear Tree, Colonel Israel Hutchinson House, ancient 
 Nichols House, Oak Knoll, Whittier's House, and many 
 other interesting places of other days may be seen in the 
 town, as well as many town and private burying grounds 
 on the old estates. 
 
 Lines run from Danvers Square to Asylum Station, 
 where connections may be had for Lawrence and other 
 points along the Merrimac Valley, via Middleton. 
 
 Marblehead and Swampscott are reached by one of 
 the lines running along the seashore from Lynn. From 
 
A.-«- -i-rt*^ .-^-^-Jacb. .... 
 
150 BY TROLLEY IH ROUGH 
 
 Central Square, Lynn, the car follows the boulevard on 
 Broad and Lewis streets, through the residential district 
 of the city, passing into Swampscott between the well- 
 tilled farms on the left and the open sea on the right, with 
 surf breaking on the rocks below. Through Swampscott 
 the line passes many handsome summer cottages, going past 
 King's Beach, which affords line surf bathing. Egg Rock 
 is seen across the water, and passing Beach Bluff and Clif- 
 ton Heights the car enters quaint old Marblehead, with its 
 crooked streets, where connections may be made with 
 barges and the ferry for the pleasure grounds at Marble- 
 head Neck, the car running through the town to Fort 
 Sewall, with its magnificent ocean view. Marblehead was 
 part of Salem until 1648, and was once the most impor- 
 tant fishing port in the state. Off Fort Sewall several im- 
 portant naval engagements with England took place. The 
 Town Hall was built in 1727, and in Abbot Hall are many 
 interesting historical objects, including the famous paint- 
 ing, " The Spirit of '76." On Orne Street are the Fountain 
 Inn, the Agnes Surriage well and old Burying Hill. Near 
 the road to Marblehead Neck is Crow Fort, of Revolution- 
 ary fame, and near the car houses was once an Indian 
 fort. On the same street as Abbot Hall is the Church of 
 St. Michael, built in 1714, and the residence of P^.lbridge 
 Gerry. Burying Hill, where the first settlers are buried, in 
 the earth, here and there, between the rocks on the summit 
 of the hill, is well worthy of an extended visit, for here 
 one will read the quaint epitaphs of the names of the 
 soldiers of the early Indian wars and soldiers and sailors 
 of the French and Indian wars and that of the Revolution. 
 Old Fort Washington is situated on this hill.

 BRANCH LINES FROM SALEM 
 
 SALEM TO SALEM WILLOWS, LAWRENCE, MIDDLE- 
 TON, NORTH ANDOVER, MARBLEHEAD, PEABODY, 
 DANVERS AND LAWRENCE 
 
 Salem, so rich in historical features and once the 
 centre of the witchcraft delusion, is so teeming with 
 inducements that it more than repays the visitor in its bits 
 of history which have been so carefully preserved. It is 
 
 the terminus 
 of many 
 branch lines 
 that pass 
 through 
 beautiful 
 count r y 
 scenery. 
 One line 
 goes to 
 Salem Wil- 
 lows, a very 
 i nteresting 
 ride. Salem 
 Willows is a 
 great sea- 
 shore resort 
 with many 
 attractions, the most popular of which is the double 
 row of willows from which it takes its name. Leaving 
 Salem, the car passes the East India Marine Hall and 
 the Essex Institute, coming to Salem with water on 
 both sides. Nearing the Willows, the city farm is passed 
 on the right, and on the left is the hospital, beyond which 
 are the ruins of old Eort Lee, built in 1699. Opposite the 
 cove are the ruins of old Fort Pickering and Winter 
 
 Fountain Inn and Agnes Surrage Well, Marblehead 
 
EASTERN NEW ENGLAND

 Island, occupied by the Plummer Farm School and the 
 government. Other branch lines from Salem run to Mar- 
 blehead, Peabody, Danvers and Lawrence. 
 
 From Salem a branch line runs through without change 
 to Lawrence, by way of Danvers and North Andover, and 
 on this line will be found much of scenic and historical 
 interest. The car taken runs out past the Golf Club 
 grounds to South Peabody and then to Middleton, a rural 
 town incorporated in 1728. In this town is Middleton 
 Pond, a beautiful 
 sheet of water 
 covering one hun- 
 dred acres. From 
 Middleton the car 
 runs into North 
 Andover, which is 
 full of historic 
 houses. Here were 
 once the homes of 
 Anne Bradstreet, 
 the first poet of 
 the Merrimac Val- 
 ley ; Hon. Moody 
 Bridges 
 
 General Putnam's House, Danvers 
 
 of the 
 Continental Con- 
 gress; Dr. Thomas Kittredge and six succeedinggenerations 
 of physicians; and Phillips Brooks, Wendell Phillips and Dr. 
 Oliver Wendell Holmes. A short run from here and the 
 car crosses the Merrimac River and reaches its terminus 
 in the city of Lawrence. This ride from Salem to Law- 
 rence is one of the most beautiful that can be taken. The 
 line passes through shady sections of farming country, over 
 a perfect roadway, having a diversity of hills, dales and 
 rippling streams.

 One line runs to the oldest summer resort of the North 
 Shore, Beverly Cove. The route brings the tourist through 
 beautiful estates with fine groves and scenery. The 
 beaches are approached from the car line by short streets 
 leading directly to the sea. 
 
 Another line from Beverly is to Wenham and Asbury 
 Grove. Passing beautiful estates laid out with high land- 
 scape art, the car soon reaches Wenham. Soon the grounds 
 of the Myopia Hunt Club are seen. From Hamilton rail- 
 road station to Asbury Grove is only a short trip. The 
 Grove, a summer retreat, is where the Methodist camp 
 meetings are held.
