Princeton, Massachusetts: A History of its Villages

By Joyce Bailey Anderson, Sheila Dubman and Alexandra Fiandaca

Nestled at the foot of Wachusett Mountain, Princeton has come a long way since the days when cows outnumbered its citizens. Today, within its small circumference, the town boasts four nationally registered historical districts. With an
array of styles from Colonial to Greek Revival, Richardsonian to Romanesque, its distinguished architectural landscape serves as a lasting reminder of the town s many transitions. Anderson, Dubman and Fiandaca document Princeton s growth from eighteenth-century agrarian community to turn-of-the-century summer resort.

Joyce Bailey Anderson

The photographs in Princeton and Wachusett Mountain were compiled from those of individuals and the Princeton Historical Society's collection. Joyce Bailey Anderson, chairperson of the Princeton Historical Commission, brings passion, knowledge, and reverence for history, especially the history of Princeton, to the project.
