Hi again, Just found this web site which offers some information about the historical socities in the Nashoba Valley of MA: http://nashobavalleyartsandculture.pbwiki.com/Ashby+Historical+Society http://www.nvcoc.com/ Betty (near Lowell, MA) FYI: IF you are out for a "Sunday drive" this month, don't forget to think about driving up and down Rt. 119 in MA from Littleton to Ashby. Farms still exist there, and other interesting things to look at. And all of the towns along this roadway have a good history: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ashby,_Massachusetts http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Townsend_(town),_Massachusetts http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pepperell,_Massachusetts http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Groton,_Massachusetts http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Littleton,_Massachusetts And, just to the right of Townsend is: Mason, NH http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mason,_New_Hampshire And, just to the left of Townsend is: Fitchburg, MA http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fitchburg,_Massachusetts And, continuing north on Rt. 119 you can get to Rindge, NH, where you find other historic towns. (The "Cathedral of the Pines" is there - which has a history of its own.) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rindge,_New_Hampshire http://www.cathedralofthepines.org/ (By the way, I saw a glimpse of the slopes at the Nashoba Valley Ski Area and saw .. snow.) :o)
