I just returned from a very short visit in West Brookfield. I did not have time to do any family history research, but did see some family members I had not seen in quite a while, as we all celebrated some family milestones. The leaves were beginning to show their beautiful fall colors and this coming weekend should be a wonderful time to drive in the country. Howard's Drive-In will be closing for the season this weekend, so be sure to stop by for your favorite fare. I certainly enjoyed the fried scallops and onion rings, as always.
Coming very soon is the auction for the preservation of the Rock House Reservation.
Those whose research includes the village of West Warren, may be interested to know of an effort to compile a village history. Pete Hastings is the person to contact for information.
West Brookfield researchers will be happy to hear about a new resource becoming available this week. Due to the generosity of Alice Jay, each library in the Quaboag Plantation towns will be receiving a copy of a new book. This book, entitled, Quaboag Plantation, the Beginning, includes transcriptions of early parish meeting records (Congregational Church) from 1754 - 1826. I will try to find more details about the publication this week.
