In Wrentham, authors C. Gordon aGoga Woodhams and Earle T. Stewart have crafted a fascinating, comprehensive portrait of this 22.6-square-mile, 325-year-old town. Illustrating the town from the post-Civil War to 1960, the authors examine a variety of topics, including the changes in the areaas geography and local transportation as well as the contributions made by famous residents such as Helen Keller. Compiled from personal collections and the archives of the Wrentham Historical Commission, this visual history contains over 200 rare and diverse scenes. See how the town changed as the horse and oxen were left behind for trains, and later, automobiles. Relive the big band era in the 1920s and 1930s with tantalizing scenes from the Lake Pearl Park and dance hall.

Book Description
This book chronicles the development of the institutional model in Massachusetts with the well-intended beginnings, the decline and subsequent heroic reform. Massachusetts led the country and perhaps the world in the development of facilities intended to house the mentally ill and developmentally disabled during the 19th and early 20th centuries. The state schools constructed during the early 20th century in the United States were the direct result of the unfortunate science of eugenics, as society strived to create a race that was without flaw. After World War II, the eugenics fervour became moot and the myriads of people who were placed in state schools remained -- as society forgot about them. Sufficient funding was denied, and both employees and residents suffered the dire consequences of a society that no longer cared -- a society that wanted to forget. This is the history of a place, but more than that, it is a story about people. It is the story of great men who did wonderful things and of well-intentioned men who made egregious mistakes. It is the story of a heroic fight for reform. A study of the human condition, of atrocity juxtaposed against nobility -- a constant struggle. Unlike many other books on this topic, here there is a happy ending. Nobility triumphs. The tireless human spirit perseveres, and society is forced to listen to the cries of its institutionalised.
