Vice Provost for Graduate and Professional Education ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Every Massachusetts schoolchild walks Boston’s Freedom Trail and learns the story of the Hancock house. Its demolition served as a rallying cry for early preservationists and students of historic preservation study its importance. Having been both a Massachusetts schoolchild and student of historic preservation, this project has inspired and challenged me for the past nine months. To begin, I must thank those who came before me who studied the objects and legacy of the Hancock house. I am greatly indebted to the research efforts of Henry Ayling Phillips (1852- 1926) and Harriette Merrifield Forbes (1856-1951). Their research notes, at the American Antiquarian Society in Worcester, Massachusetts served as the launching point for this project. This thesis would not have been possible without the assistance and guidance of my thesis adviser, Brock Jobe.

  • Section 3: Community Setting

    Section 3: Community Setting

    SECTION 3: COMMUNITY SETTING Regional Context The Town of Holland is nestled in the southeast corner of Hampden County, Massachusetts on the Connecticut border. It is bordered by the towns of Brimfield to the north, Wales to the west, Sturbridge to the east and Union, Connecticut to the south. Nipmuck State Forest in Connecticut forms the southern town border while Brimfield State Forest lies west of Town, and Tantaique Reservation lies east of town. Holland is within commuting distance of the Springfield; Worcester; Boston; Providence, Rhode Island; and Hartford, Connecticut areas. Access to major highways is convenient with Interstate Route 84 cutting across the very southeastern corner of town, and the Massachusetts Turnpike (Interstate 90) and Massachusetts Route 20 running north of Town. The Town of Holland encompasses about 13 square miles of rolling, wooded hills. Though there is some open land, forest dominates the uplands. In the hardwood dominated forests are scattered wetlands providing biological and scenic diversity. The town is bisected by the headwaters of the Quinebaug River and the associated water bodies of Hamilton Reservoir, and Lake Siog (Holland Pond). The river, ponds, reservoir, and numerous wetlands make up a wetland complex that not only dominates the town’s character but also is important in terms of its recreational value, scenic beauty, and wildlife habitat. Holland also has large areas of undeveloped forested lands, which are of regional conservation value. Besides sharing history, land uses, and landscapes, Holland and its neighbors share municipal services such as emergency response and schools. This cooperation, primarily between Holland, Wales, and Brimfield, allows each town to benefit from improved services difficult for a small town to provide on its own.

House of Representatives, The Joint Special Committee, to whom was referred the sev- eral messages of his Excellency the Governor, in relation to the treatment of the Hon. Samuel Hoar, in South Carolina, and the Hon. Henry Hubbard, in Louisiana, and also an order of the House of Representatives of March 18, 1845,—have had the several subjects under consideration, and ask leave to pre- sent the annexed Report and Resolves. For the Committee, JOSEPH BELL. ■> SOUTH CAROLINA—LOUISIANA. [March, ftommontoealtfi cf JHassacijUßctts. REPORT. The Committee have already presented a full report on the treatment of the Hon. Samuel Hoar, in South Carolina; to this, on that subject, they have nothing to add. When that report was presented, official information had not been transmitted to the Committee, of the result of the mission of the Hon. Henry Hubbard to Louisiana. This has now been presented to and considered by the Committee. The subject of controversy referred to in the message of his Excellency the Governor, between Massachusetts and her sis- ter States of Louisiana and South Carolina, demand and must receive the profound consideration of every state in the Union. Massachusetts is not alone interested in this matter. It deeply and vitally concerns the whole Union, and all its parts. The claim of Massachusetts is simply that her citizens may have secured to them the personal and commercial rights guar- anteed to them by the Constitution and laws of the nation, while pursuing their lawful callings in the other slates of the Union. These rights, Louisiana and South Carolina deny to a certain description of the citizens of Massachusetts, not on account of crime charged, or proved, or committed, but simply and solely on account of origin, race and color.
