WANTED: Looking for book about Quabbin Reservoir

18 years ago

I live about 5 minutes from the Quabbin Reservoir, in Massachusetts, and would like a book that tells of it's history. My daughter has recently been asking lots of questions about it and I would to have something she can hold and read. I have lots of gardening, plant books if there should need to be a trade. I can even trade plants!

Kitty,
This sounds like an interesting bit of history. Most of the books I found were $$$$. This site seems to have some less expense ones. Nice to see someone cares if their children have an appreciation of history.

Here is a link that might be useful: Alibris book site

If you can't find exactly what you want used, you can try J.R. Greene who writes about Quabbin history. He's local to Orange/Athol area. The Jeff Book shop in Amherst carries Quabbin books, and the local libraries have copies of Quabbin books. Swift River Historical Society has a little museum to visit as well.
Good Luck!
