Description

Not long after the Pilgrims came ashore, Bridgewater became the first inland settlement to branch out from the Plymouth Colony, incorporating in 1656. Its fertile soil and bountiful rivers provided for a rich agricultural community. As the Industrial Revolution forced farmers into factories, Bridgewater experienced rapid social and economic growth and change. Iron, shoe, and paper manufacturing flourished, and the railroad brought European immigrants in search of the American Dream. In Bridgewater, vintage images tell the stories of the Bridgewater Academy, the normal school, the changes in and around the common, the business pursuits of local proprietors, and the spiritual and civic life of Bridgewater residents.

I thoroughly recommend this small book of early photographs of my hometown, Bridgewater, Plymouth County, Massachusetts. Many (if not most) of the landscape has changed so drastically since most of these pictures were taken that one would hardly know the place. With "Images of Bridgewater, MA", I've finally, at long last, been able to locate and see many old houses which, in my own lifetime, have met with the wrecker's ball. If, for no other reason, the book shows how beautiful a town Bridgewater. Bridgewater and Duxbury were the first two outposts from Plymouth Plantation, so I mourn the loss of many of the early buildings pictured in this book, Massachusetts was once the quintessential New England town. With this book, one can see what happens when random disregard for what went before becomes the rule of the day. Thanks. I enjoy having it.
