Enjoy a unique view of William Wood's planned community known as Shawsheen. This walk highlights the area west of Route 28 when it was known as Frye Village, and then illustrates the changes William Wood brought about as he built his dream community. Learn why this side of the Village – built for Woolen Company upper management – was known at “Brick Shawsheen,” distinguishing it from the east side of the Village which was known as “White Shawsheen.”
