Lucy Stone Childhood Homestead ~ West Brookfield, MA

In West Brookfield, MA there is an almost forgotten place of American History. The birthplace of Lucy Stone was an accidental find in a trip looking for family ancestors. The old farmhouse must have been quite a large one as the stone foundation still exists. Charred remains still lie under the lush vegetation that has grown in the ruins. Lucy Stone was an amazing woman who fought for all women to have rights. There is a nice little web page with some information on Lucy Stone here: Lucy Stone Homestead Directions to the site are on this web page as well. The area surrounding the site appears to be run by State Fish and game and hunting is allowed so be careful during those times of the year.
