As part of Hopkinton’s 250th celebration, HHA President Lauri Arruda led a fascinating tour of the First Hopkinton Cemetery on Sunday, June 14th. Visitors heard stories, uncovered truths, and even had a few long held myths debunked about the lives of Hopkinton’s earliest ancestors. The photos capture the rich history behind the gravestones — their origins, materials, styles, and the artistry of their carvings. We are truly fortunate to have such a well preserved and meaningful historic site right here in Hopkinton.

This aerial photo of Hope Valley was taken on July 11,1929, at 11:00 AM, from 500 feet. We do not know the photographer who braved the skies in 1929! Just a bit left of center is the Odd Fellows Block with a cupola on the roof. How many places can you recognize?

The Ninigret Wheelmen, a local bicycling club in Hope Valley, pose with their bicycles in front of Locustville Mill. The club was established in 1894 and was open to men and women. The bicycling craze swept through the country, only dying down by the arrival of the automobile.
