Quabbin Memories

I used to live in Oakham Mass and became fascinated with the history of Quabbin Reservoir.  One of the interesting facts is four towns were submerged to create Quabbin.  They are Enfiield, Prescott, Greenwich and Dana.  Also 25% of Oakham was taken for Quabbin and also in Rutland. One of my favorite hikes is take a bucolic walk to Dana Center.  The buildings are long gone but the foundations are still there.  Dana center was not submerged but is very close to the shore of Quabbin Reservoir. I wanted to do a watercolor in memory of the four now lost towns and thiis painting is of a Sunday morning sometime in the early 1900's. Bring your binoculars because you might see a bald eagle!

Eddies Diner on Route 1 

Go back to the late 1960's and your traveling down route 1 in Walpole, Mass.  It's time for breakfast and of course, you pull into Eddie's Diner.
