Hopkinton and Contoocook
Granted the influential position as a half-shire town in the mid-1790s, Hopkinton enjoyed a period of social and political prominence in the state, even nearly becoming New Hampshire's state capital a decade later. While the state's political hub found its home in nearby Concord, Hopkinton flourished into a town rich in industry, abundant in natural beauty, and brimming with character. Comprised of three unique villages--Contoocook, Hopkinton, and West Hopkinton--the town presents three distinctively different versions of quintessential New England life. The Contoocook River's strength was harnessed to power mills producing leather, box-making machinery, and silk. When the railroad arrived i...

Hopkinton
Hopkinton has always been a rural town, but it grew up on pioneer industry. The mills on Wood River and other waterways form only part of this collection of Hopkinton images. You will also see town residents putting on plays, going to Camp Yawgoog by wagon, and fishing on Yawgoog Pond. Here is Hopkinton from the dawn of photography to the middle of the twentieth century: stone walls and farmsteads, horse-drawn buggies and early autos, and the fondly remembered Wood River Branch Railroad.
Hopkinton
The picturesque starting place for the Boston Marathon, the town of Hopkinton, Massachusetts, is home to a rich variety of industries and businesses. Residents here have strong ties to the community, as evidenced by the town's wealth of festivals, public parks, and gardens. This exciting new photographic history takes us to the time when electric streetcars ran in Hopkinton and the coming of the railroad shaped the growth of the town. We catch glimpses of residents hard at work in the area's old boot and shoe shops, granite quarries, sawmills, and cranberry bogs. From views of early town government, schools, and church buildings to intimate scenes of home and everyday life, the over 150 rare and previously unpublished images contained in Hopkinton create a dramatic mosaic of the town's past.

Land of a Thousand Cairns
From the time of the American Revolution to the end of the 19th century, Lawton Foster Road in Hopkinton, Rhode Island was home to a small rural community. A few families eked out a living on the rocky poor soils through growing corn, rye, potatoes, apples, small scale sheep farming, and timber harvesting. Today, the land has reforested and much of it has become wildlife conservation property. These lands harbor a big mystery. Over 1500 stone structures have been found including stone cairns, three stone chambers, several serpent effigies, enclosures, niches, triangle symbolism and other odd man-made features. These are in addition to the more recognizable historic structures like house and ...
