Based on hundreds of historic newspaper accounts and interviews with lifelong residents, one of the most intriguing streets in New England finally receives its due recognition. It is the story of how a village and its post office exemplifies the life of a community spanning 200 years.Once called Spring Village, now Winchendon Springs in Massachusetts, first a famous spa where visitors sought its medicinal mineral spring, in 1842 the area was bought at auction by the White family for their textile mill.
