About this ebook
Although it is only thirteen square miles in size, Woburn
boasts a vast history, replete with curious episodes and colourful characters. The town was home to three women accused of witchcraft in the infamous Salem witch trials, and it was the choice camping ground of gypsy queen Marcia Mock in 1917. Discover the nefarious yeggmen who
prowled the streets at the beginning of the twentieth century and the seven women known as the Robins, whose friendship inspired a chain letter that has survived for more than fifty years. Woburn: Hidden Tales of a Tannery Town explores the mysteries of Woburn s landscape, including the deadly Horn Pond, whose waters swallowed more than fifty victims and were long believed
to contain vengeful demons. Columnist Marie Coady reveals Woburn s best-kept secrets with the vibrancy and wit of a true town sleuth.
