Lancaster Revisited

by Heather Maurer Lennon

Overview

Lancaster Revisited is an engaging look at this historic town located in the heart of New England. This book takes the reader on a tour of residential life, from cottages and town homes to lavish country estates of the Gilded Age. Glimpse places that vanished as Fort Devens annexed a portion of the town, and witness the devastation caused by the flood of 1936 and the Great New England Hurricane of 1938. Learn the poignant story of one of Lancaster's hometown boys lost in World War II, and meet the father of the Nashua River Greenway plan. Vintage photographs depict the pleasures of small-town life, including two of Lancaster's anniversary celebrations. Enhanced by insightful captions, these images bring to life memories of days gone by in this charming and picturesque place.
