Historical photos
A recently received contribution from Priscilla Rondeau, a long time resident. She remembers the big launch that used to charge to take folks around the lake.
This postcard shows the entrance to the Theatre, Lake Nipmuc Park.

An old postcard showing The Bridge in Lake Nipmuc Park! 


 


The building in the background of this postcard housed the Pleasure Island Carousel on the Midway at Lake Nipmuc Park in Mendon, Massachusetts prior to its move to Wakefield in 1960. From Tom Irons, Mendon, via George Appleton.


 


 

A recently received contribution from Peter Thompson who grew up in Mendon and spent many years on and around Lake Nipmuc during the sixties and seventies. 
He found this postcard at the Brimfield flea market several years ago and proudly displays it in his home as a reminder of his youth.  There was no date on the postcard but it is obviously before houses were built in the area and the postage on the card was one cent. 
If you have any questions concerning people who lived in Mendon during the period that Peter was growing up there feel free to email him at pthompson56@earthlink.net.
