Haydenville, Massachusetts, Page One

Haydenville is a tiny village along the Mill River, in the town of Williamsburg, just northwest of Northampton, Massachusetts. In the mid-1800s, many factories were built here, and reservoirs were placed upstream to store water sufficient to power the mills in the summer. In 1874, one of the dams broke and wiped out most of the town, and killed almost 140 people. Among the factories was the Brass Works, which was rebuilt shortly after, and now is used for a charter school and several businesses. Walk around and explore this modest little village, then grab some great coffee and pastries, or lunch, at the Blue House Cafe.
