Where is pout rock in ashland

The number of inhabitants is about eleven families and about fifty-five souls, there are, men and women, eight members of the church at Natick and fifteen baptized persons. The Indians plant upon a great hill which is very fertile.

These people worship God and keep the Sabbath, and observe civil order. There ruler's name is Pamhaman, a sober and active man and pious. Their teacher is named Job, a person well accepted for piety, and ability among them.

This town was the last settling of the old towns. They have plenty of corn, and keep some cattle, horses and swine, for which the place is well accommodated!

The route of the Old Connecticut Path passed through the land that would later be part of the Megunko Plantation. Additional information may be found in Paul Brodeur's presentation Rev. Ashland State Park. Although much of the landscape that once was Megunko has been forever altered, Ashland State Park provides a quiet refuge within the ancient Indian land.

The foot trails along the brooks and around the reservoir provide a gateway to enter the woodland. The beauty of the land provides a place to connect with the Megunkos, those who traveled the Old Connecticut Path and the later settlers.

Off season, parking is available at the Ashland Recreation Department located at the park entrance. Admission fee is charged when the state park is open June-September. Frankland Road. The historical importance of Frankland Road was once recognized by the placement of one of three "Bay Path" signs. While the marker at the corner of Union Street and Frankland Road has been lost, the other two markers remain with one in Hopkinton and the other in Wilbraham.

Frankland Road offers the opportunity to travel at a slower pace through residential, woodland and farms along along a stone-wall lined roadway. Old colonial homes can be found along the way intersperced with comfortable suburban homes. Frankland Road gained its name from an early resident, Sir Harry Frankland, who built a lavish acre estate and gardens here in The "Agnes Surriage Well" historic marker in Marblehead commemorates their meeting.

Agnes was a beautiful, poor and illiterate 15 year old girl when they met in Her life changed as she became a true "Pygmalion" under the guardianship and later affair with Sir Harry. The differences in their class and social status caused their affair to be scandalous in Boston with Agnes being snubbed by Boston society.

While Agnes reached a level of knowledge and culture, the continued rejection by family and society lead to the move to Ashland. The refuge of the estate and gardens built by Sir Harry no longer remain along Frankland Road. The story of Sir Harry and Agnes took a dramatic turn in While in Lisbon, Sir Harry was traveling in a coach to church when the great earthquake of struck.

Being All Saints Day, the streets were full of people. Over 30 thousand people died that day. OK, so where is Pout Rock? Actually, now is a good time to see it where the trees and bushes surrounding it are bare.

Just after the bridge on the left hand side of the road is a fairly wide pathway cut into the woods that I believe is used by the Ashland DPW for municipal purposes. Follow the path, which is parallel to the brook, for about 50 yards and the rock is down an embankment on the left next to the water. Steve Leacu for Ashland Directions.
