Book Description
Excerpt from Old Highways and Landmarks of Groton, Massachusetts The end of Broad Meadow, above referred to, was spanned by a bridge in those days, no doubt to save the expense of filling such soft land, which then had probably not been drained at all, and was of course much more wet even than now. The structure, after a while, received the name of Swill Bridge, and I once learned from Miss Elizabeth Farnsworth the reason which she had heard alleged for this peculiar name. The following is the story, which I will preface by stating that John Longley, before mentioned, was Miss Farnsworth's great-grandfather, and that she remembered well her grand mother Farnsworth, who was Mr. Longley's daughter Lydia; and so we get this account thus directly from Lydia Longley Farnsworth, who was born on the Stephen Kendall place in 1716.

Book Description
Stephen Jenkins has chosen for the subject of this volume the oldest and most northerly of the post roads: that over which the first postrider went; which echoed to the war-whoop of the savage, saw the passage of soldiers during the French Wars; beheld the flocking of the minutemen upon the Lexington Alarm, later became the pathway of countless thousands of emigrants on their way to the rich valleys of the Mohawk and the Genesee, or to the fertile prairies of the Middle West. By this route, via New Haven, Hartford, Springfield, and Worcester, a monthly mail was established in 1673, "the first mail upon the continent of America," as the author declares. He traces these pioneer settlements to their present positions as mauufacturing towns and cities.

Book Description
National architectural magazine now in its fifteenth year, covering period-inspired design 1700–1950. Commissioned photographs show real homes, inspired by the past but livable. Historical and interpretive rooms are included; new construction, additions, and new kitchens and baths take their place along with restoration work. A feature on furniture appears in every issue. Product coverage is extensive. Experts offer advice for homeowners and designers on finishing, decorating, and furnishing period homes of every era. A garden feature, essays, archival material, events and exhibitions, and book reviews round out the editorial. Many readers claim the beautiful advertising—all of it design-related, no “lifestyle” ads—is as important to them as the articles.
