Moses Harvey house?
Does anyone know if the home of Moses Harvey (1723-1795) still stands? He was a state legislator and active in Shays' Rebellion

Montague City
You may already be aware of this, but there is a Montague Historical Commission that may have some information. Also, there was a Masonic lodge there for many years, before it got consolidated with the one in Northfield (?). It might be worth contacting the Northfield lodge to see if they have anything ....
Good luck!

Montague City
Hi I am interested in any unpublished pictures or history of Montague City. I feel that it is not as well known as the other villages. One day i went out to photograph the area and realized I have been to the other villages but didn't know anything of Montague City. I have seen books in the libraries and a few stories but want to know if there's anything out there or a physical Historical Building that might contain items not in the libraries. thanks

Potter Family in Montague
If it's a small cemetery on Greenfield Road north of Swamp Road, the few folks who were interned there are now buried in Elm Grove Cemetery, across the street from Rau's Sunoco.

Potter Family in Montague
I have recently purchased a house in Montague Center area that was built in 1865. On the old Montague map that is sold at the Bookmill it has the name Potter on it. From what I can tell in reading the History of Montague there were 3 Potters that went to the fight in the Civil War. From what I could tell 2 returned.
Does anyone have any information on this family and small farm? It is on Greenfield Rd. near Cold Brook. Also on the map (I think it is a reprint from an old atlas) there is a small cemetery. I have looked for it and have not found it partially because I didn't want to trespass on private property. It also is between Greenfield Rd. and Connecticut River, near Cold Brook. Does any one have any information on it?

Martin Grout and Old Pictures
I have a Rand atlas only about 10 yrs old and the cover has a map with Millers Falls called Grout’s Corner. I’ve heard from a couple old timers that the towwn was originaly in the area of Grouts Circle.

Martin Grout and Old Pictures
A couple of questions:
Where was Martin Grout’s first house built? I can’t find the location on-line. What is repeated is "its location at the juncture of major railroads and abundant water power made it the perfect place to establish mills." There is a Grout Circle close to the main drag area, but is that a street named in honor of the old village name or does it have relevance?
Also, are there old photos / drawings out there of what is now South Prospect St? Looking for 1889 and later.

Historical Society Meeting
Tonight, 7:00 PM - 9:00 PM
MONTAGUE HISTORICAL SOCIETY NEWS
The Montague Historical Society, incorporated in 1969, has been collecting, preserving and displaying items showing the pattern of life throughout the history of the five villages of Montague. The collection was housed in personal homes until the Masonic Society donated the first floor for our use. Due to the hard work of Mr. Allan Fiske (who single handedly renovated) the space offered storage, a small lecture space and an office.
Recently the building was sold and converted to condos. All the items were moved to the schoolhouse on RT. 63 where they remain. Many efforts have been made to secure a new site for the Society, but to no avail. The Town has shown no interest in helping to preserving our heritage.
After finding Grange articles while working at the schoolhouse and showing them to Mik Muller, a Grange member, we discussed the possibility of having the Grange be the site for our artifacts. Much work and discussion needs to be done to make sure the upstairs is a place which can preserve all types of articles, as well as be accessible. The use of the Grange would be a great way to have meetings, displays and be more available to the public.
On June 21 at 7:00 the Historical Society board as well as the Grange will be looking into all the pros and cons of this idea. Input from archivists who are concerned with preservation, Historical Society members, Grangers and the general public are welcome to attend.
