The Spirit of Springfield Mountain

The natural beauty and fertile lands of Wilbraham, Massachusetts, first attracted the Algonquin people, followed by English settlers. The town's history is rich with fascinating tales, including Reverend Noah Merrick's love for his wife, Abigail, immortalized in the poem "The Parson's Rose." Other stories recount the tragic drowning of six young people in Nine Mile Pond in 1799 and the heroic citizens who helped save the Federal Armory in 1787. Historian David Bourcier brings these and other captivating stories to life, tracing the town's journey from its roots as Springfield Mountain to present-day Wilbraham.
