Old Stone Church

What makes West Boylston unique?

• It is extremely small - around 8000 people live here

It is old - 200 years old to be exact

•Half of our town was leveled at one point to make room for the reservoir that supplies Boston with it's drinking water.

• Our school is also very small - the middle and high schools are combined in one building.

Virtual Tour

This virtual tour is of the old stone church. I chose this place because it is very symbolic of our town. I think everybody who lives in West Boylston has come to the old stone church at least once. The original Baptist church burned, and this one was built to replace it in 1891.

These red fox tracks show that humans aren't the only creatures that visit the church

During the rest of the year, this is a favourite fishing spot

This wreath is set up every year around Christmas time.

The causeway

Easily visible fromt he old stone church, this is a nice picture of the setting sun hitting it. Hot dog Bob will sometimes park around here and sell his delicious dogs.

Please don't feed the ducks.
