Life on Lake Boon: Then and Now

Local historian, Richard Gelpke, presents the third in a series of three presentations on the history of Lake Boon. We will learn how the lake got its present size and shape, how Temple and Worcester Avenues got their names, and where the railroad stations were. Also, do you know where there is a Smallpox graveyard, or why the second basin was the happening place in the 1940’s and 1950’s? Join us for this fun and interesting tour through the history of Lake Boon. Dick Gelpke is a long time Lake Boon resident. He is retired from the Department of Geography and Earth Science at the University of Massachusetts Boston, where he concentrated on historical and environmental issues and physical geography. This video was recorded by Lew Halprin on September 23, 2015 at the Assabet River National Wildlife Refuge. Talk sponsored by the Friends of the Assabet River National Wildlife Refuge.
