Lisa, I never saw the trolleys, in fact if you came from Milford the bus only went to where Stone Furniture is and then you had to walk up Mendon Hill. My family lived near the very top of the hill at the Hopedale/Mendon line. We would get all our stuff together and walk to Lakeview and swim, go in the boats get snacks there etc. Someone else mentioned Lucier Dance school, one of the teachers was Dolly Lucier-she was a wonderful dancer. But they were from Milford and had a huge family of 10 children, I never heard they had anything to do with owning Lakeview. Dolly is still here in Milford and is a hairdresser and owns her own shop. the amusements and boats were still there in the early sixties and I am not sure when they stopped. I moved away from the area and went to visit family on occasion or to Millie Mitchell's for fried clams etc. but really didn't pay any attention to what was on the lake. Now my little Italian great-grandmothers house has been torn down and they have built 4 houses close together on Mendon Hill(Mendon St.), she lived in that house from 1900 to 1967 when she died. They came from Italy to Milford then to Hopedale. I will ask my Mom if she remembers about the trolley and the shows at Lakeview, she is 84 and her and my Dad used to go to clubs and shows often.
