Walk in the Woods
by Joanne Hulbert 4/17/2017
The Town Forest is land that has never been occupied, never built upon and has spent most of its existence as wood lots and still shows signs of minor quarrying.
Lake Winthrop's Tom's Rock
by Joanne Hulbert 9/29/2016
The drought has brought the water level at Lake Winthrop down so low that “Tom’s Rock" is now visible. The rock is located near the southern end of the lake, near the two islands. Although much more subtle and uncelebrated than Valentine’s Rock near the north end of Lake Winthrop, as seen in the photo, Tom’s Rock is just now visible.

Holliston --- Vacationland 2008 Part 2
by Joanne Hulbert 8/4/2011
Once you are suitably impressed with your musical journey, you may return back from whence you had wandered. Stop off at the Arch Street bridge and traverse through the Arch -- to Mudville, a venerable old neighborhood of Holliston, often overlooked by travelers. It wasn’t so back in the 1850s and 1860s when it was a popular destination for visitors looking for an illegal kitchen bar – Mrs. McGuire’s was very popular – notorious – back then. Stop by the Mayor’s residence on School Street and pay homage to the Casey Statue. Recite Casey At The Bat and rub his foot for good luck.
