Materials within the collection relate to the towns of Newbury, West Newbury, and Newburyport in Massachusetts; Buxton, Maine (formerly Narragansett); and Contoocook, New Hampshire. Comprised primarily of land deeds, estate papers, account books, and correspondence, the papers highlight the role of the town proprietors, the daily operation of the Coffin family tannery business, the running of the Coffin family household and estate, and the life of merchant sailors. Material relating to the \"Siamese Twins,\" Chang and Eng Bunker (1811-1874), and their relationship with the Coffin family through Abel Coffin (1792-1837) and Susan (Hale) Coffin (1792-1837) is also included in the collection; there is also material relating to abolitionist John Brown (1800-1859). The collection is arranged in nineteen series. Background: In 1929, Historic New England acquired the Coffin House in Newbury, Massachusetts, from Margaret E.C. Merriam (a fourth great granddaughter of Tristram Coffin, Jr., 1632-1704). The papers within the house at the time of acquisition formed the bases of the collection: Coffin family manuscripts collection (now MS010). In 1986, intern Amey Case Callahan processed the papers and created the original finding aid. Callahan arranged the papers into series, chronologically by family member or by groups of relatives (i.e., siblings), then by record type; bound account books were placed into a separate series and were cross-referenced with the corresponding individual(s) who kept them. The collection was housed in acid-free folders and document boxes; folders were numbered by box; and a paper finding aid was created, which included an index and a compilation of genealogical material. In 1987, Amey Case Callahan processed and created a separate finding aid for the papers of the Abel Coffin (1792-1837) and Susan (Hale) Coffin (1792-1837) family: Abel and Susan Coffin manuscript collection (now MS010). Again, Callahan applied the same arrangement scheme as described above (in lieu of a bound account book series, a photograph series was created). When fully processed, the collection comprised eight file boxes (approx. 3.34 linear feet). Update: 2013-2014 In 2013-2014, through a National Historical Publications and Records Commission grant (Award Number: NAR13-RH-50051-13: \"Family Manuscript Collections: Expanding Online Access to New England Heritage Project\"), twenty-six Historic New England manuscript collections of family papers were re-evaluated and processed/reprocessed to meet current archival standards and \"best practices;\" corresponding finding aids were created/updated to be DACS-compliant and converted into electronic Microsoft Word document form; and the finding aids were made accessible/searchable online through the use of the Minisis M2A archival database of the Minisis Collections Management System. The Coffin family papers (MS010) were part of the grant project. Since 1986/1987, following the initial processing of the collection(s) and creation of the original two finding aids, subsequent acquisitions/accessions had been integrated into the collection; material was removed/separated from the collection; and notations and additional pages were inserted into the finding aid. Additionally, the finding aids read/functioned more as research papers, than as traditional archives finding aids. Prior to the 2013-2014 collection processing, the Coffin family manuscripts collection (now MS010) comprised eight legal-size file boxes (approx. 3.34 linear feet) and additional loose material. During the 2013-2014 collection reprocessing/updating, the two 1986/1987 finding aids were combined into one collection (MS010) and the original arrangement schemes updated to reflect an alphabetical arrangement of Coffin family members, rather than a chronological arrangement. Both the bound account book series and the photograph series were maintained. Most of the original folder titles were maintained; the bound account books were properly labeled and housed; and related folders were combined or rearranged, as applicable. Additional loose material was integrated into the collection and properly housed; preservation issues were identified and basic preservation methods were applied, as applicable; papers throughout the collection were removed from envelopes (if applicable), unfolded, flattened, and related pages were noted with corresponding information in brackets ([x-1/3], [x-2/3], [x-3/3]; and oversize material and photographic material were rehoused appropriately (or materials were interleafed within file boxes), as applicable. The scope and content notes, biographical/historical sketch, and genealogy were updated accordingly. The overall collection was rehoused using new acid-free, legal-size folders and boxes, as applicable), numbered, labeled, barcoded, and stored accordingly; subsequent accessions were tracked and noted with their corresponding items; and related collections held by Historic New England and other repositories were researched and noted. The original 1986/1987 paper document finding aids were updated to be DACS-compliant, as applicable; converted into an electronic 2010-2013 Microsoft Word document finding aid (with corresponding paper finding aid); and entered into the collection record in the Minisis M2A online database. 2013 extent of collection (prior to updating): ·08 file boxes (legal-size)= 3.34 linear feet ·04 oversize volumes *Yale linear footage calculator: approximately 3.34 linear feet (8 file boxes), plus 4 oversize volumes Note: One ambrotype and three daguerreotypes were separated from the collection prior to the 2013-2014 collection reprocessing/updating. See Daguerreotypes Collection, ca.1845-1865 (PC005). Note: In 1984, prior to the 2013-2014 collection reprocessing/updating, the Edmund Coffin (1764-1825) 1816-1819 account book (#C.1.21) was separated from the collection and transferred to the wallpaper collection due to the cover of the item being comprised of a wallpaper fragment. The account book was transferred back to the Library and Archives in 2014 and has been reaccessioning and reincorporation into the collection along with additional documentation and material (#C.1.21). NOTE: Processing/updating the collection and making the finding aid accessible online were made possible through grants from the National Historical Publications and Records Commission (Award Number: NAR13-RH-50051-13), the Bedford Family Foundation, and an anonymous donor.","type_of_resource_ssim":["Text"],"publishing_state_ssi":"published","processing_state_ssi":"complete","destination_site_ssim":["commonwealth"],"hosting_status_ssi":"harvested","harvesting_status_bsi":true,"oai_header_id_ssi":"oai:historicnewengland.org:GUSN-187800","exemplary_image_ssi":"commonwealth-oai:tt44qw038","exemplary_image_key_base_ss":"metadata/commonwealth-oai:tt44qw038","admin_set_name_ssi":"Coffin

The gift of the land and money for the building was presented to the Town in 1868 by Cyrus and Eliza A. Wakefield. The deed for the land and building read 'a building designed for a Town House and for municipal purposes but also with the desire and intent that such portions thereof as are adapted thereto, shall be, from time to time, devoted to use for patriotic, charitable, scientific, military, literary, aesthetic, educational, moral and religious purposes, and for meetings, lectures and addresses promotive thereof - as a free and unrestricted gift to the town.' Two portraits were hung at the left and right of the stage one of George Washington and one of Cyrus Wakefield. The Washington portrait was presented in 1872 as a gift to express the townspeople's gratitude to Cyrus Wakefield for his generosity. The portrait, painted by South Reading native Thomas Badger, was a copy of an original painted by Gilbert Stuart in 1796 which was said to have been in the Carlton House in London. After raising the necessary funds, the townspeople also commissioned a portrait of Cyrus Wakefield which was completed in 1783 by Thomas H. Badger, son of Thomas. The paintings were restored and repaired in 1929. A fire in the Town Hall occurred on December 13, 1950. The building was razed on October 20, 1958.\" -- Text from calendar by Jayne M. D'Onofrio.

Pageant at Lancaster, Massachusetts, July 4, 1912 EPISODE II. SETTLEMENT This scene is in part typical of the beginnings of any of the inland towns of New England founded in the seventeenth century, but it also includes incidents which belong especially to Lancaster. We are to suppose that it takes place some time between 1643, when an Indian trading-post was established here, and 1653, when Lancaster received township rights by grant of the General Court.We know, from allusions in a later deed, of the purchase by Lancaster Proprietors of eighty square miles of land, for twelve pounds, from the friendly chief, Sholan. No copy of the deed is known to exist; but there is a tradition in the Houghton family, which may have reference to this transaction, that for certain lands bought of the Indians two black bulls and a gallon of rum formed a part of the purchase price, - a picturesque detail which has been utilized.John Eliot, the Apostle to the Indians, frequently visited Lancaster, or \"Nashaway,\" as it was called in these earlier years. In 1648 he writes: \"Showanon[Sholan] the great Sachem of Nashaway doth embrace the Gospel  pray unto God, I have been four times there this summer,\" and, two years later laments that, owing to his absence, some of the Nashaway Indians have been emboldened by Satan to return to their superstitious rites.The hymns here introduced are versions of the 126th and a part of the 24th Psalm from the \"Bay Psalm Book.\" printed at Cambridge in 1640. Appropriate contemporary tunes have been selected. The quaint names assigned to the minor characters in this scene are not fanciful, as might be supposed, but are drawn from the vital records of the town.Some, however, below to a later date than of this episode.","type_of_resource_ssim":["Still image","Text"],"lang_term_ssim":["English"],"publishing_state_ssi":"published","processing_state_ssi":"complete","destination_site_ssim":["commonwealth"],"hosting_status_ssi":"hosted","harvesting_status_bsi":true,"exemplary_image_ssi":"commonwealth:bk1291026","exemplary_image_key_base_ss":"images/commonwealth:bk1291026","admin_set_name_ssi":"Thayer Memorial Library Archives Collection","admin_set_ark_id_ssi":"commonwealth:rj430p53v","institution_name_ssi":"Thayer Memorial Library","institution_ark_id_ssi":"commonwealth:rj430p52k","collection_name_ssim":["Thayer Memorial Library Archives Collection"],"collection_ark_id_ssim":["commonwealth:rj430p53v"],"filenames_ssim":["commonwealth:bk129101x_metadata","pageant_exhibition_panel3_entrance_of_the_colonists"],"_version_":1826773260016025600,"timestamp":"2025-03-16T17:38:59.974Z","subject_geographic_sim":["Lancaster","Massachusetts","North and Central America","United States","Worcester (county)"],"date_facet_yearly_itim":[1912],"score":127.59018},"links":{"self":"https://www.digitalcommonwealth.org/search/commonwealth:bk129101x"}},{"id":"commonwealth-oai:pc28g1834","type":"DigitalObject","attributes":{"id":"commonwealth-oai:pc28g1834","system_create_dtsi":"2024-03-27T09:32:06Z","system_modified_dtsi":"2024-03-27T09:32:18Z","curator_model_ssi":"Curator::DigitalObject","curator_model_suffix_ssi":"DigitalObject","title_info_primary_tsi":"Wakefield Town Hall, Main Street at Water Street, 1893","genre_basic_ssim":["Photographs"],"date_tsim":["[ca. 1893]"],"date_type_ssm":["dateCreated"],"date_edtf_ssm":["1893~"],"date_start_dtsi":"1893-01-01T00:00:00Z","date_end_dtsi":"1893-12-31T23:59:59.999Z","name_tsim":["Wakefield Municipal Gas \u0026 Light Department (Wakefield, Mass.)","D'Onofrio, Jayne M."],"name_role_tsim":["Contributor","Contributor"],"name_facet_ssim":["Wakefield Municipal Gas \u0026 Light Department (Wakefield, Mass.)","D'Onofrio, Jayne M."],"related_item_host_ssim":["Wakefield Municipal Gas and Light Department calendars"],"subject_topic_tsim":["Town Hall (Wakefield, Mass.)","City halls"],"subject_facet_ssim":["Town Hall (Wakefield, Mass.)","City halls"],"subject_coordinates_geospatial":["42.5,-71.0667"],"subject_point_geospatial":["42.5,-71.0667"],"subject_geojson_facet_ssim":["{\"type\":\"Feature\",\"geometry\":{\"type\":\"Point\",\"coordinates\":[-71.0667,42.5]},\"properties\":{\"placename\":\"Wakefield, MA\"}}"],"subject_hiergeo_geojson_ssm":["{\"type\":\"Feature\",\"geometry\":{\"type\":\"Point\",\"coordinates\":[-71.0667,42.5]},\"properties\":{\"continent\":\"North and Central America\",\"country\":\"United States\",\"state\":\"Massachusetts\",\"county\":\"Middlesex\",\"city\":\"Wakefield\"}}"],"physical_location_ssim":["Lucius Beebe Memorial Library"],"identifier_uri_ss":"https://omeka-s.noblenet.org/s/wakefield/item/18305","identifier_uri_preview_ss":"https://omeka-s.noblenet.org/files/square/e9a353c255383330522582b6fef53d22485e9531.jpg","note_tsim":["Information about this item was supplied by NOBLE Digital Heritage."],"rights_ss":"Rights status not evaluated.","license_ss":"Contact host institution for more information.","reuse_allowed_ssi":"contact host","abstract_tsi":"\"Cyrus Wakefield, for whom the Town is named, generously donated land and money to build a Town Hall and a fitting monument to South Reading soldiers.

The Town Hall was completed and deeded to the Town on February 22, 1871. It was described in 1885 as 'ranking first in beauty, as well as in seating and stage accommodations. The seating capacity is 1164 divided as follows: floor 704, and galleries, 460.

This home was built circa 1720, by a descendent of one of Reading's most famous families, the Bancrofts, who settled in Reading in 1673 on woodlots that their parents owned. The house was moved to this location from across the street in 1875. This is a classic \"Salt Box\" style, one of only three original saltbox styled houses in Reading. Historians have pieced together the history of this house from the will of Thomas Bancroft, Sr. and the marriage record for Thomas Jr. (who was actually the fourth of six Thomas Bancrofts to inhabit Reading). The land records are missing from when Thomas, Jr. married Lydia in 1717, but his father probably gave him the land to build the home now at 320 West Street. By 1730, when Thomas, Sr. died, he deeded additional land to Thomas Jr. as well as part of the yield of his orchard. \"Since Thomas has no orchard of his own that bears fruit as yet, my will is my son Thomas shall have apples enough for 4 barrels of cider out of my orchard when it is bearing year and enough for two barrels when it is not the proper bearing year, which he shall have and enjoy for a term of 6 years after my decease.\" Thomas, Jr. and Lydia raised a family of eight children, one son, also named Thomas, was listed as an officer in the militia, and another son, Joseph, was a lieutenant in the Revolutionary War. Sons Joseph and Moses inherited the home by their father's will in 1747. Joseph inherited the north end of the home and of the chimney, as well as the east side of the cellar. Moses received the south end of the house to the middle of the chimney and the west side of the cellar. Moses moved to Sutton sometime between 1753 and 1756. The house passed through many hands, including three generations of Temples, until Abram Hale purchased land and house, and had the house moved in 1875 onto 16 acres of farmland that he owned. After being sold a number of times, in 1894 Mr. Smith P. Burton purchased it to add to his Elm Hill stock farm. The house was used to lodge hired hands on the farm and became run down. The house is an excellent example of early workmanship when timbers were cut by hand. It has a remarkably solid oak frame and benefited from extensive restoration done after 1932 when the McCabe's purchased the home. The McCabe's faithfully studied and finished the house with authentic touches and the center chimney, which had fallen down when the house was moved, was replaced in 1943.","publisher_tsi":"Reading, Mass. : Walkable Reading","type_of_resource_ssim":["Audio","Still image"],"lang_term_ssim":["English"],"publishing_state_ssi":"published","processing_state_ssi":"complete","destination_site_ssim":["commonwealth"],"hosting_status_ssi":"harvested","harvesting_status_bsi":true,"oai_header_id_ssi":"oai:omeka-s.noblenet.org/:9292","exemplary_image_ssi":"commonwealth-oai:t148m152g","exemplary_image_key_base_ss":"metadata/commonwealth-oai:t148m152g","admin_set_name_ssi":"Walkable Reading","admin_set_ark_id_ssi":"commonwealth-oai:n009wf109","institution_name_ssi":"Reading Public Library","institution_ark_id_ssi":"commonwealth:h702qg97w","collection_name_ssim":["Walkable Reading"],"collection_ark_id_ssim":["commonwealth-oai:n009wf109"],"filenames_ssim":["commonwealth-oai:z029tm539_metadata"],"_version_":1794645779842859008,"timestamp":"2024-03-27T02:46:27.283Z","subject_geographic_sim":["Massachusetts","Middlesex (county)","North and Central America","Reading","United States","West Street (Reading, Mass.)"],"date_facet_yearly_itim":[2010],"score":122.82002},"links":{"self":"https://www.digitalcommonwealth.org/search/commonwealth-oai:z029tm539"}},{"id":"commonwealth-oai:np19br90t","type":"DigitalObject","attributes":{"id":"commonwealth-oai:np19br90t","system_create_dtsi":"2025-11-03T21:29:11Z","system_modified_dtsi":"2025-11-03T21:29:22Z","curator_model_ssi":"Curator::DigitalObject","curator_model_suffix_ssi":"DigitalObject","title_info_primary_tsi":"Woodward Family materials","genre_basic_ssim":["Objects"],"genre_specific_ssim":["Collection"],"related_item_host_ssim":["Jackson Homestead \u0026 Museum Archives"],"subject_topic_tsim":["Woodward, Elijah","Hickman, Nancy","Fuller, Hannah Woodward (Jackson) (1814-1891)","Park, Edith Barron","Woodward, Ebenezer","Woodward, Frederick Rond","Woodward, Harriet","Woodward, Jonathan","Woodward, John"],"subject_facet_ssim":["Woodward, Elijah","Hickman, Nancy","Fuller, Hannah Woodward (Jackson) (1814-1891)","Park, Edith Barron","Woodward, Ebenezer","Woodward, Frederick Rond","Woodward, Harriet","Woodward, Jonathan","Woodward, John"],"physical_location_ssim":["Historic Newton"],"identifier_local_other_tsim":["JHA-1809.89","11395"],"identifier_uri_ss":"https://historicnewton.catalogaccess.com/archives/11395","identifier_uri_preview_ss":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/ppwebassets/release/37701/ca9ab225-bfa8-4f80-b2be-6c9a9e4ca3b2_thmb.jpg","rights_ss":"Copyright Not Evaluated","license_ss":"Contact host institution for more information.","reuse_allowed_ssi":"contact host","abstract_tsi":"The collection contains manuscript documents from across generations of the Woodward family in Newton, Massachusetts; handwritten genealogical lists of the Woodward family; photographs of various Woodward family members; wills and testaments from male members of the Woodward family; deeds of gifts relating to land purchases in Newton, Massachusetts; tax documents addressed to E.F.

Years later, John built the Woodward homestead estate in 1681 in what was then the newly formed town of Newton, Massachusetts. The estate housed eight generations of the family, making it one of the oldest hereditary structures in the region, and possibly the nation. The Woodward family went beyond Newton, settling in other parts of the country.

Most information on the buildings on East Campus property are contained in collections specific to those buildings, such as RG 130 – Loveland Chapel Records, RG 131 – The Pueblo of the Seven Fires Building Records, and RG 139 – Reeds Landing Records, though information on this structures can be found in the collection. Specifically in the collection, there is a history of East Campus property and programs from 1905-1952 compiled by Dr. Charles Weckwerth in 1988, some pictures of the minor structures and the grounds of East Campus, various general, maintenance and topographical maps of East Campus, biology papers with pictures of the campus in 1957, planning and report documents from 1958-1964, and 1990’s assessment and planning documents including some drawings and floor plans for cabins and the Pueblo of the Seven Fires. Of particular interest are the materials in Series 3: Springfield High School Controversy, 1980. These materials include newspaper articles, mailings, correspondence and minutes of meetings, a report on East Campus being selected as an experimental ecological reserve, and information on the eventual High School site, Blunt Park. East Campus refers to the pleasant wooded property bounded by Wilbraham Road and Lake Massasoit that lies to the east of the main campus of Springfield College. Presently East Campus is about 60 acres on Lake Massasoit, with a mile of shoreline. There are three structures on the property: Loveland Chapel (dedicated 1981), which now serves as an early childhood education facility, The Pueblo of the Seven Fires, a southwestern style building utilized for a multitude of events including social functions, but most importantly as an integral part of “freshman Camp” and the college’s summer day camp programs (Camp Massasoit), and, lastly, the retirement community presently known as Loomis Village at Reed’s Landing. The acquisition of the property that makes up East Campus began in 1905, when Jacob Gerrish, a waterfront landowner, deeded a plot of land with a ½ mile of shoreline to the college. This property came to be known as Gerrish Grove. This land was located on the south shore of the lake across from the training school site. Following Mr. Gerrish’s death, it was discovered that he had bequeathed an additional 25 acres to the College. At this time the College, then known as the International YMCA Training School, was expanding its “Boys Work” program, in particular the outdoor recreation components of the program. Over the next twenty plus years the college acquired well over 150 acres around Lake Massasoit. By the mid-20s the school had moved much of its outdoor recreational and camping programs to the area abutting Wilbraham Rd that is now known as East Campus. Programs and activities that still take place on this land to this day. During the late 1920s, the outdoor programs had grown to a level that it was decided that East Campus needed permanent structures. In 1930 the Board of Trustees approved the construction of the Pueblo of the Seven Fires. This was not the first structure on East Campus, though. The first structure erected was the Pukwana Lodge. Pukwana means “Smoke of Indian Peace Pipe.” Built as a trial run for the Pueblo to ensure that the materials used in building a Pueblo structure (structures typically built by Native Americans in the Southwestern United States using adobe mud bricks) in the Northeast could withstand the winter’s Frost, the Pukwana Lodge was a one room structure with an open fireplace in one corner. It was dedicated on November 18, 1931. The structure no longer exists. The Pueblo, the only authentic southwestern pueblo structure east of the Mississippi, was dedicated in 1932 and originally provided meeting space, activity areas, storage, and living accommodations for the East Campus caretaker. The 4,4000 square-foot structure follows a classic southwestern design, with walls 24” thick at the base, tapering to 16” at the top. The floors are made of brick and the original roof was constructed of oak planks lying beneath a tarred layer overlaid with two or more inches of sand and soil to provide both insulation and fire protection from potential forest fires. The interior of the Pueblo features seven fire places, including a large fireplace donated by 4-H clubs. The seven fires refer to the seven fires of youth: self-expression, universality, ruggedness, regret/humility, truth, comradeship and beauty. The Pueblo also has a large central hall, or “Crane Lodge,” an east wing called “Reed Lodge,” the west wing called “Post Lodge,” and the Robinson room. A full kitchen is on the first floor, and offices and residential space is on the second floor. Of particular interest inside the building are the murals in the “Post Lodge” created by Wo Peen. Wo peen, also known as Luis Gonzalez, was a famous Native American Artist known for his traditional murals and paintings. Edgar M. Robinson and Ernest Seton Thompson, both considered founders of the Boy Scouts, participated in the design of the building. In 1950, the Pueblo was officially designated the E.M. Robinson Pueblo of the Seven Fires, in honor of Edgar Monroe Robinson. Today the Pueblo is still used as it was originally designed, as a student learning facility hosting classes, camp groups and acting as a special function hall. An important event that occurred early in the history of the East Campus was the Hurricane of 1938. The Hurricane left widespread destruction at East Campus, with over three hundred trees lost between the Pueblo and the shoreline. Amazingly enough only 1 tree of the “Cathedral of Living Trees,” a group of trees planted in the shape of cross, fell. It was decided that the fallen trees be used to construct permanent cabins and/or Adirondack style shelters. Hundreds of red pines were planted to replace the lost trees. During the years of WWII, the college was used by the military as a hospital and rehabilitation facility and further expansion of programs and facilities on East Campus came to a halt. After the war, in 1944, the Executive Committee of the Board authorized President Best to dispose of land holdings on the South Shore of Lake Massasoit. This marked the first of many sales of the land originally obtained. The holdings amounted to about 80 acres and the committee set a price of $50,000. Over the next 4 to 5 years the property was sold under the leadership of President Limbert (1946-1952), including much the waterfront properties on the south shore. This resulted in additional funds for the College as well as a renewed commitment to the remaining acres of East Campus. Much of the land during the years of the war as well as immediately afterwards had been neglected and the added funds helped maintain the land that remained. In addition, a vision of the land being used as an environmental laboratory emerged with this commitment, expanding the traditional programs of camping and outdoor recreation to include developing and nurturing this unique environment through life sciences programs. Over time, plantings, conservation methods and maintenance of the area became a prime issue under the leadership of Dr. John Brainerd of the Biology Department. Through a committee formed in the late 1950s and headed by Dr. John Brainerd the primary function of East Campus was outlined as being the education of students and faculty and included five subsidiary functions: education of the greater community, recreation for members of the faculty, protection of natural environment, living accommodations for students and faculty, use of campgrounds by outside groups. This committee also proposed a nature study center with a museum, library and laboratories. These proposals were further outlined in later proposal to include leadership development. Though not all these proposals, such as museum, library and science labs, were pursued, the concept of the greater good and the land’s use as a tool for leadership development continue to inform the development and running of East Camus to this day. In 1980, East Campus and Springfield College came into conflict with the City of Springfield. The city was searching for a site for a new high school and the Mayor thought East Campus to be the ideal location. Although the College was opposed to the plan and the Board of Trustees overwhelmingly voted the “land is not for sale,” city officials pushed strongly to take the land. At the time, East Campus was selected as one of 12 sites in New England as an Experimental Geological Reserve by the National Science Foundation. This along with strong Community and College uproar, eventually led the new high school to be shifted to another location (becoming Central High School on land originally part of Blunt Park), and East Campus and its 80+ acres remained untouched. A brief decade later, though, the property was again under intense attack. This time the attack came from within the Springfield College Community itself. And in spite of overwhelming opposition by students, faculty, alumni and neighbors, an agreement was reached under the leadership of President Falcone with Bay State Health Systems to lease 23.6 acres of East Campus for the construction of a continuing care retirement community (CCRC) on East Campus. In January, 1990, the Board of Trustees approved a 75 year lease of the property. According to President Falcone, the lease would provide “income in support of the Springfield College mission.” This became what today is known as Loomis Lakeside at Reeds Landing, or just Reeds Landing when it opened. Today, East Campus continues to provide outdoor education and camping experiences to students and summer day camp adventure to youngsters from the area. The amount of land has shrunk from well over 150 acres to around 60 acres. It, though, still provides a significant green space in the urban environment of Springfield for recreational and camping experience, as well as an area to hone leadership skills and have intense educational experiences.

A 'union Sunday School' was started in 1873, gaining the attention of the YMCA who supported the school, as did other laymen from town churches. A 'society of ladies' was formed in 1877 with the building of a chapel in mind. A chapel society was created in 1881, and four years later, $1400 had been raised for this purpose. A lot of land was deeded to the society by Mr. and Mrs. Henry Stowell, with the stipulation that it be used as a place of worship for Evangelical Christians.

Stevens is shown in Quaker dress, a large hat, and with two hands holding a wooden cane. Daguerreotype has been over matted in a slightly oversized double elliptical mat with an ornate protector. Daguerreotype case is made of wood and covered in black leather with a double line border; it has two hook and eye clasps on the right side. The front of the case is embellished with a simple single line rectangular design with small circles in the corners; the back of the case has a double-lined rectangular design. The front of the case is slightly smaller than the back. This discrepancy in size and the different front and back designs suggest that the two halves of the case are not original to one another and were probably not a part of the original packaging of the daguereotype. In the interior of the case, facing the daguerreotype, is a plain maroon velvet pad. The back of the daguerreotype plate has been resilvered, probably by the photographic firm of Southworth \u0026 Hawes. Attribution and date are based on photographic style and an entry in the day books of Southworth \u0026 Hawes at the George Eastman House (courtesy of Bates and Isabelle Lowry). This daguerreotype served as the model for a lithograph of Clark Stevens published in the Vermont Historical Gazeteer 4(1880): 579. The Gazetter also includes a detailed biography of Stevens.

Nearly all types of documents are represented, including news articles, printed manuscripts and brochures, correspondence, memos, blueprints, meeting minutes, notes, reports, poster, video, and many photographs. There are documents that speak to the general history of the campus, including information on acreage and the date buildings were built and land was added to the campus. This includes a book that contains copies of official deeds or titles of all campus property owned before 1930. There are also many campus reports and documents produced for/by various campus planning committees. The vast majority of these materials are planning reports from 1995-1997 and the committee meeting materials, including the official meeting minutes and agendas, from 1959 to 1971. In addition to these, there is a bound book containing the meeting minutes from the building committee from 1894 through 1897 that covers the construction of Judd Gymnasium and Administration Building and two large sketches of the campus plans, among many others, created in 1926 by the Olmsted Brothers Landscape Architectural firm along with E.C. \u0026 G.C. Gardner Architects. In addition, there is information on miscellaneous campus structures and buildings not represented in the individual building collections and the college’s athletic fields. This includes materials on the World War I Student Army Training Corps (SATC) barracks built in 1918, newspaper articles and photographs on the Lakeside Village and Trailer Park Village on campus after World War II, the covered and raised walkway built in 1945 when the campus was used as a US Naval Hospital, and photographs and some memos on the Dana Fine Arts Center. Most of the Athletic fields materials focus on three of the main fields that have existed on the Springfield College Campus: Pratt Field, Blake Field, and Benedum/Stagg Field. Besides many photographs, materials of note include news articles and photographs of the burning of the Pratt Field Grandstand in 1959 Photographs make a large part of the collection (see Series 5: Photographic Materials). These include many photographs of students and faculty doing grading and landscaping, helping to put in building foundations, and constructing sidewalks. There are also many aerial photographs taken from the early 20th century into the 21st century. They are taken from all directions and varying heights. In addition there are folders of photographs of trees, flowers and other natural features around campus, signs, triangles, flag posts, lights, and photographs taken during the winter, including some specific to Christmas. There are also many general shots of the campus. These tend to be images that include multiple buildings or are of the campus in general. Many are taken with students or faculty. These, unlike photographic materials within Marketing and Communications, Student Activities or other collections of events and organizations, tend to be general and follow no theme. Springfield College, then called the School for Christian Workers, was founded in January, 1885. Classes began in the Old Chapel of Hope Church until the original school building could be constructed directly adjacent to the Church on the corner of State and Sherman Streets in the Winchester Square section of Springfield. The area was named after Springfield’s mayor at that time, Charles A. Winchester. In 1987 Winchester Square was changed to Mason Square, after Primus Mason who originally owned the land during the mid-1800s. Primus Mason (1817-1892) was an influential African-American businessman who invested his money in real estate in Springfield. By 1888 he was one of the wealthiest citizens of the city and when he died in 1892 he left his money to found the Springfield Home for Aged Men which is now the Mason-Wright Retirement Community on Walnut Street. In March of 1886, students moved into their rooms in the new building and on April 1 of that year construction was completed. The School for Christian Workers building was officially dedicated on June 1, 1886. On June 10, 1890 the departments of the School for Christian Workers separated into two separate schools: the School for Christian Workers and the Young Men’s Christian Association Training School (now Springfield College). Both schools continued to share the building in Winchester Square until 1896, when the Training School moved to its present location on Massasoit Lake (formerly Watershops Pond). Initially, according to the September 19th, 1890 trustee records, it was agreed that the YMCA Training School would purchase the original school building from the School for Christian Workers. On January 9, 1891, during the International YMCA Training School Trustee Meeting, that decision was rescinded because land on Alden Street became available that was more suited for the needs of the Training School. The thirty acres of land were purchased from two prominent Springfield families, the McKnight Brothers, looking to settle an estate. Soon after, the School purchased the adjoining land from William R. Purple which added another 450 feet to the school’s waterfront. In 1894, the first building on the new land, Judd Gymnasia was constructed and in 1896 the first dormitory.

In 1897 the School for Christian Workers became the Bible Normal College and moved to Hartford, Connecticut to share the resources of the Hartford Seminary. The original School for Christian Workers building has significant historic value as it is where the game of basketball was invented by James Naismith and the site of the first game in 1891.

James Hartshorne House was built around 1681 on Church Street, the only road from Reading Common (now Wakefield Common) and the Square. The one 'small house' named in the original deed probably contained the southwesterly corner rooms, downstairs and up. In 1681, the house was owned by Thomas Hodgman who may have built the house on land purchased by his wife Mary from William Hooper in 1664. In 1725, the house was sold to the widow Paterson, who left it to her son. He sold it in 1757 to Jonathan Cowdrey who may have enlarged the home to a 'saltbox' with two rooms in the front center section with a sloping roof over the kitchen in the back. A barn and another building, most likely a smith shop, were added to the property during this time. Dr. John Hart purchased the house in 1792 and again enlarged the house to inlude two large rooms near the Old Cemetery, and removed the east wall to make a lodge room for the Mount Moriah Lodge of Freemasons. He may have also raised the sloped roof to make a room over the kitchen. Under Dr. Hart's ownership, the house was rented and used as an inn named for General Lafayette. Two owners followed Dr. Hart, but they only owned the house for six months before selling it to James Hartshorne, Jr. in 1803. (The house was still known as the Lafayette House for many years to follow). Col. Hartshorne and his first wife, Abigail Coggin purchased the house in 1803 and the Colonel resided there until his death in 1870. Active in local affairs, he was a Wakefield Selectman and served as the Town Treasurer for 15 years. His second wife Mary continued to live in the home with her daughter Mary and her husband John Rayner who later sold the house to J. Reed Whipple of Boston and John G. Morrill of Wakefield who later joined with Frank H. Atwood in forming the Morrill-Atwood Ice Company. The property was purchased as a location from which ice from Lake Quannapowitt would be shipped to Boston customers over the Boston \u0026 Maine railroad tracks. The owners were primarily interested in the;Captions: 1. The hearth at the Col. James Hartshorne House. -- 2. The Col.

Oriented with north toward the lower left. Publisher: Cambridge: W. A. Mason \u0026 Son. This blueprint shows the lot Warren Gould Roby gave to the town of Wayland, MA which was accompanied by a gift of $10,000 to build a public library on the site. The library was built in 1900. According to the Middlesex Registry of Deeds, \"The said lot of land is the same marked \"Library Lot ½ acre\" on a plan of a portion of the Warren G. Roby Estate, Wayland as set off for the Wayland Public Library.\" The deed describes the property as bordering Concord Road and being 225 feet from the house of the deceased Warren Roby, and bordered by the land of the Massachusetts Central Railroad Company. The library committee was grateful for the gift, but not so happy about the location of the site. The Report of the Library Building Committee in the 1899 Wayland Town Report states, “From the first, your committee has regretted that the will of Mr. Roby restricts them in their choice of library site. The building, which, in itself, is hoped to be an architectural feature of the town, must of necessity be built upon a side hill and low, marshy land.” The town bought an additional piece of land from the estate of Mary (Roby) Brackett in 1922 which made it possible to build an addition to the library in 1987."],"scale_tsim":["Scale 1:240"],"rights_ss":"No known copyright restrictions.","license_ss":"No known restrictions on use.","reuse_allowed_ssi":"no restrictions","digital_origin_ssi":"reformatted_digital","extent_tsi":"1 map : blueprint ; 36 x 75 cm","type_of_resource_ssim":["Cartographic"],"lang_term_ssim":["English"],"publishing_state_ssi":"published","processing_state_ssi":"complete","destination_site_ssim":["commonwealth"],"hosting_status_ssi":"hosted","harvesting_status_bsi":true,"exemplary_image_ssi":"commonwealth:9306xj22b","exemplary_image_key_base_ss":"images/commonwealth:9306xj22b","admin_set_name_ssi":"Wayland Historical Maps and Plans","admin_set_ark_id_ssi":"commonwealth:b5647c18s","institution_name_ssi":"Wayland Free Public Library","institution_ark_id_ssi":"commonwealth:4t64gr105","collection_name_ssim":["Wayland Historical Maps and Plans"],"collection_ark_id_ssim":["commonwealth:b5647c18s"],"filenames_ssim":["WaylandLibrarySite_MasonSon_1899"],"_version_":1778214558492524544,"timestamp":"2023-09-27T17:59:13.494Z","subject_geographic_sim":["Massachusetts","Middlesex (county)","North and Central America","United States","Wayland"],"date_facet_yearly_itim":[1899],"score":39.78556},"links":{"self":"https://www.digitalcommonwealth.org/search/commonwealth:1r66nk942"}},{"id":"commonwealth:qz20t434n","type":"DigitalObject","attributes":{"id":"commonwealth:qz20t434n","system_create_dtsi":"2016-04-12T14:52:59Z","system_modified_dtsi":"2023-11-05T16:09:58Z","curator_model_ssi":"Curator::DigitalObject","curator_model_suffix_ssi":"DigitalObject","title_info_primary_tsi":"Partial letter from Maria Weston Chapman, [New York City, NY], to Anne Greene Chapman Dicey, [1863?]","genre_basic_ssim":["Correspondence","Manuscripts"],"date_tsim":["[1863?]"],"date_type_ssm":["dateCreated"],"date_edtf_ssm":["1863?"],"date_start_dtsi":"1863-01-01T00:00:00Z","date_end_dtsi":"1863-12-31T23:59:59.999Z","name_tsim":["Dicey, Anne Greene Chapman, d. 1879","Chapman, Maria Weston, 1806-1885"],"name_role_tsim":["Addressee","Author"],"name_facet_ssim":["Dicey, Anne Greene Chapman, d. 1879","Chapman, Maria Weston, 1806-1885"],"related_item_host_ssim":["Anti-Slavery Collection"],"subject_topic_tsim":["Antislavery movements--United States--History--19th century","Women abolitionists--Massachusetts--Boston--19th century--Correspondence","Antislavery movements--United States","Women abolitionists--United States","Great Britain--History--19th century"],"subject_facet_ssim":["Antislavery movements--United States--History--19th century","Women abolitionists--Massachusetts--Boston--19th century--Correspondence","Antislavery movements--United States","Women abolitionists--United States","Great Britain--History--19th century","Dicey, Anne Greene Chapman, d. 1879","Greeley, Horace, 1811-1872","Stanton, Elizabeth Cady, 1815-1902","Tyng, Stephen H.

She tells about a letter from Mrs. Stanton regarding the Women's National Loyal League, \"an enterprise to get a million of women's signatures for the Congressional abolition of slavery.\" She comments on the plan. Chapman tells what advice she would give to Susan Anthony if she dared. Chapman can meet most things, \"but not an abolitionist beginning to feel his occupation gone. They rail at the gov't as if it was wicked; -- while no Saint, its incapacity is its strong point \u0026 that is not its own fault.\" It is \"the new young generation that have actually got the matter in their hands.\" She mentions as examples the actions of the young sons of William Lloyd Garrision, Philbrick, and the Follens. The ministry is doing the necessary preaching. Chapman comments that Old Stephen Tyng \"can stir up pecuniary benevolence far better than we.\""],"rights_ss":"No known copyright restrictions.","license_ss":"No known restrictions on use.","reuse_allowed_ssi":"no restrictions","digital_origin_ssi":"reformatted_digital","extent_tsi":"4 leaves (8 p.) ; 10 5/8 x 8 in.","pubplace_tsi":"[New York City, NY]","resource_type_manuscript_bsi":true,"type_of_resource_ssim":["Text"],"lang_term_ssim":["English"],"publishing_state_ssi":"published","processing_state_ssi":"complete","destination_site_ssim":["commonwealth","bpl"],"hosting_status_ssi":"hosted","harvesting_status_bsi":true,"exemplary_image_ssi":"commonwealth:qz20t435x","exemplary_image_key_base_ss":"images/commonwealth:qz20t435x","admin_set_name_ssi":"Anti-Slavery Collection","admin_set_ark_id_ssi":"commonwealth:ht24xg10q","institution_name_ssi":"Boston Public Library","institution_ark_id_ssi":"commonwealth:sf268508b","collection_name_ssim":["Anti-Slavery Collection"],"collection_ark_id_ssim":["commonwealth:ht24xg10q"],"filenames_ssim":["08_07_009851","08_07_009851-08_07_009858","08_07_009852","08_07_009853","08_07_009854","08_07_009855","08_07_009856","08_07_009857","08_07_009858","39999066789023_Transcription","commonwealth:qz20t434n_metadata"],"has_searchable_pages_bsi":true,"has_transcription_bsi":true,"transcription_ark_id_ssi":"commonwealth:v979xq29d","transcription_key_base_ss":"texts/commonwealth:v979xq29d","_version_":1847508915582926848,"timestamp":"2025-10-31T14:43:22.123Z","subject_geographic_sim":["Boston","Massachusetts","North and Central America","Suffolk (county)","United States"],"date_facet_yearly_itim":[1863],"score":12.383194},"links":{"self":"https://www.digitalcommonwealth.org/search/commonwealth:qz20t434n"}}]}
