Rutland (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781531601096)

Rutland's history began in 1686, when this
twelve-square-mile tract of land was purchased from the Naquag Indians at a cost of 80cents per square acre. Since then, this once small Massachusetts village has continued to flourish into the rural town it is today. In Rutland, local author Bernice M. Anderson
invites you to explore the history of the town during
the period from the late nineteenth century through the mid-twentieth century. Discover Main Street, the
Bartlett Hotel, and the Old Fire Barn as they were at
the turn of the century. See Rutland as it celebrates
Independence Day, summer after summer, and learn about the community's strength in times of tragedy,
including the tornado that tore through Rutland in the early hours of a summer morning in 195
