Hills of the Middlesex Fells Reservation, Mass. |
| Introduction | Hills | Maps | Sources | |
"At the midpoint of the 19th century commerce was on the move in New England, as elsewhere. Expanding cities and towns were swallowing up available land at a rapid rate. The impact on forests and water resources was immense, as rivers and streams were dammed, and land cleared and subdivided at an increasing rate. Towns and cities were densely packed and increasingly polluted." |
"How the pristine area now known as the Middlesex Fells, the Blue Hills, and the vast network of greater metropolitan green space was saved from the destructive forces of the march of history is testament to the foresight, dedication and generosity of a group of remarkably practical visionaries. Their efforts fostered a great movement that has allowed us to live in an area graced with natural beauty and
spaciousness." Read all > > |

"...From thence (towards the N.W. about half a mile,) they came to the top of a very high rock, beneath which, (towards the N.) lies a goodly plain, part open land, and part woody, from whence there is a fair prospect, but it being then close and rainy, they could see but a small distance.
