| Coldbrook Walk & Talk Saturday, April 14, 2012 A guided walk in Coldbrook Springs, a once-thriving and populous village in Oakham prior to the 1930’s, will identify the remains of many homes and businesses with stories about the lives of those who lived there. Wes Dwelly, who has done extensive research on the Coldbrook area, will lead the walk. Among the many sites described on the walk will be the Central Mass Railroad Station, the Coldbrook House and its “famous” mineral springs, Post Office Square, Coldbrook Basket Company, Oakham Cemetery, and Coldbrook Hill Cemetery (with the town’s first burial in 1761). Signs with photos will be posted at several of the sites. The walk will begin at 1:00p.m. and will last about one hour. .People should meet at the intersection of Coldbrook Road and Poverty Square Road, one quarter of a mile from Route 122. Car pooling is encouraged. This event is part of Oakham’s 250th Anniversary celebration and is sponsored by the Oakham Historical Association. In case of inclement weather, this event will take place on April 21 at the same time. For information, call Wes at 508-882-5213. |
