Wellesley is a suburb of Boston Massachusetts. It borders Newton, Needham, Weston and Dover. The town was founded in 1881 and is full of rich history. There are many popular locations you should visit. As seen in my time lapse video I went to the dump, Town Hall, Wellesley Post Office, Central Street, Rocky Ledges and Elm Bank. Elm Bank was originally developed as private residence in the 17th century. Elm Bank was named in the 1740 when Colonel John Jones acquired the land. Later the land was given to the Loring, Broad and Otis families but was sold for $10,000 in 1874 to Benjamin Pierce Cheney. Mr. Cheney joined the Massachusetts Horticultural Society in 1864. He died in 1895 and his 200 acre property was later passed down to his oldest daughter …show more content…

Central Street is a road that stretches from Crest Road and the Weston Road bridge. Central Street was created in 1838. The road was originally called, “the road to North Natick.” Later in the 1830s the road became part of the Central Turnpike. This turnpike ran from Wellesley Hills Square to Hartford Connecticut. Later in 1853 the Central Turnpike closed due to railroad expansion. Central Street is filled with many shops for the locals and college students. On Central Street there was a Hathaway House Bookshop which was a popular location for Wellesley College Students. The first original Hunnewell School was located right off Central Street and was open for only 22 years. Later in 1892 the second Hunnewell School was built due to a population increase. Due to no zoning laws you had freedom to build whatever you wanted as long as you didn’t cross over property lines. One well known spot in the shopping district on Central Street was the Colonial Building. It was built in 1927 and was known as “Wellesley’s first mini-mall.” It was called this because of the wide variety of stores available. Some examples of the shops names were, Isabel Stratton (gowns), Mademoiselle Brunette’s La Parisian Beauty Salon, Milady’s Shoppe (lingerie, needlecraft, and hosiery), Dr. F. Wilbur Mottley’s dental offices, and The Dainty Shop (ice cream parlor). With multiple shops, came a parking garage capable of holding 175

Everyone knows the name and deeds of John Wilkes Booth, who became the first person to successfully assassinate a United States president, as well as one of the most memorable names in American history. Fewer know of Booth’s several conspirators, eight to be exact, who provided the former actor with the supplies and support necessary to commit the heinous crime. Even fewer still know the name of Mary Surratt, a Southern loyalist who, on July 7, 1865, joined Booth on the list of infamous American historical figures by becoming the first woman to be hanged in the still-juvenile country. Surratt ran a boardinghouse in Washington D.C. where the majority of the conspiratory meetings were held in 1865, leading President Johnson to declare Mary Surratt had “kept the nest that hatched the egg” (Norton, 1996). Surratt’s role as the primary supplier and facilitator of the assassination plot has led many to declare her hanging as entirely justified, while other say mercy should have been take for a variety of reasons.
