Morton Hospital and Medical Center

Morton Hospital is a medical complex located on 88 Washington Street near Route 140 and Route 138 in Taunton, Massachusetts, USA. The facility serves the Greater Taunton Area and is equipped with its own heliport for medical emergency flights. Also, it owns a small rehabilitation facility down the street at Mill River Plaza. Morton is a part of Brown University Health, a non-profit health care system based in Rhode Island which took over the hospital in 2024 from Steward Health Care, its previous operator, which was forced to sell its Massachusetts hospitals following its bankruptcy. History After former Massachusetts Governor Marcus Morton died in 1864, his home was given to the City of Taunton to become the city’s first hospital. The Taunton Hospital Company was incorporated on June 8, 1888. In 1914, the name of the corporation was changed to Morton Hospital. In the 20th century, the hospital administered its own nursing school. In 2011, the hospital was acquired by Steward Health Care in a $170 million deal. The transaction was approved by the Massachusetts Attorney General, the state's Department of Public Health, and the Supreme Judicial Court. On May 6, 2024, Steward filed voluntarily for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. The company's filing said Steward had more than 100,000 creditors and liabilities of between $1 billion and $10 billion. On October 1, 2024, Brown University Health officially took over the hospital from Steward. Heliport The Morton Hospital Heliport (FAA LID: 1MA9) is a heliport composed of one helipad on the roof of Morton Hospital. The heliport is privately owned and is primarily used at the utmost discretion of the hospital for medical emergency airlifts and transport. Most often, critically injured patients are airlifted from the hospital to large and well-equipped medical facilities around the region; sometimes as far as Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston. The heliport is made of asphalt and its dimensions are 40 x 40 ft / 12.2 x 12.2 m. See also Greater Taunton Area Taunton, Massachusetts External links Morton Hospital References
Moses Brewer House

The Moses Brewer House (also known as the Goulding House) is a historic late First Period house located in Sudbury, Massachusetts. Description and history The oldest portion of this 2+1⁄2-story timber-framed house was built c. 1720–1730, and was apparently moved to its present site from its original location in Wayland sometime in the 18th century. It probably began as a "two cell" house (five bays wide and one deep) with central chimney, to which the rear leanto and a "Beverly jog" (a leanto portion that extends beyond the side of the house) were added later. The house underwent a major restoration in the 1920s. It has an original dog-leg staircase that ascends all the way into the attic, a relative rarity. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on March 9, 1990. See also National Register of Historic Places listings in Middlesex County, Massachusetts References
Moses Morse House

The Moses Morse House is a historic house in Methuen, Massachusetts, USA. It is a rare surviving farmhouse in the town with 18th century origins, with its oldest elements dating to c. 1762. It is a 2½ story wood-frame house with a massive central chimney, and a small single story ell on the left side. The ell appears to date from near the house's original construction, and the chimney is slightly off-center, indicating the house may have been built in stages. The front door is sheltered by an elaborate Italianate portico that is a c. 1870s modification. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.

Mount Feake Cemetery

Mount Feake Cemetery is a historic cemetery at 203 Prospect Street in Waltham, Massachusetts. History Established in 1857, it is the city's second cemetery, after Grove Hill Cemetery, and is one of the best-preserved garden cemeteries in the state. It takes its name from its highest point, Mount Feake, which was named by Governor John Winthrop in 1632 for his future nephew-in-law, Robert Feake, one of the founding settlers of Watertown, Massachusetts. The cemetery was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989. Mount Feake Cemetery was designed by Robert Morris Copeland, and was from its inception compared to the older Mount Auburn Cemetery in Cambridge. It stands on a somewhat rugged parcel of land that rises above the Charles River across from the Waltham Watch Company complex. A series of winding lanes, designed to complement the terrain, provide access to all parts of the cemetery. Most of the grave markers are made of granite, although marble and limestone are also well-represented. One unusual item once added some romantic charm to the cemetery. The remains of a brick water pumping station, built in 1872 and enlarged in 1896-97, stood on the grounds of the cemetery, and provided a picturesque ruin to the environment. Adjacent to this building stood two Italianate houses, as well as a carriage house and sheds, that were historically associated with the pumping station. All of these buildings were demolished, probably in the late 20th century. Notable burials Notable burials include Marta Adams (1891–1978).

Mount Grace State Forest

Mount Grace State Forest is a publicly owned forest with recreational features located in the town of Warwick. The state forest centers around Mount Grace, which at 1,621 feet (494 m) is the third highest point in Massachusetts east of the Connecticut River after Mount Wachusett and Mount Watatic. It is bordered by portions of Warwick State Forest to the east and west and is managed by the Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation. History Mount Grace is said to be named after the baby daughter of Mary Rowlandson, a woman captured by Wompanoag warriors during King Philip's War, who according to legend buried her deceased infant at the foot of the mountain during the march to Canada. By the turn of the 20th century, the mountain had been largely deforested, and conservationists, including former Warwick resident Dr. Paul W. Goldsbury, promoted the idea of having the state purchase it to create a state forest. Picnic and skiing facilities were built beginning in 1930, after legislation for the purchase passed in 1920. Crews with the Civilian Conservation Corps contributed summer and winter recreational features that included a 4.7 miles (7.6 km) snowshoeing trail. The summit's 68-foot (21 m) fire lookout tower was built in 1939. It is accessible to the public and offers impressive views of the surrounding areas. It is the third tower to have been constructed on Mount Grace. The remains of a ski lift can be found near the trail head and parking lot for the New England National Scenic Trail (and intersection with the Round the Mountain trail) close to MA-78. Activities and amenities Forest trails used for hiking, horseback riding, mountain biking, and cross-country skiing include a portion of the long-distance Metacomet-Monadnock Trail (the Massachusetts section of the New England National Scenic Trail). The forest also offers picnicking and restricted hunting.

Mount Pleasant (Newton, Massachusetts)

Mount Pleasant is a historic two-story wood frame estate house in Newton Centre, Massachusetts, built circa 1856. It is a well-preserved example of the academic Italianate style of architecture, with a three-bay facade and hip roof with a small gable over the centered entry, and a three-story turret. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986. The Mount Pleasant house was built for Roswell Turner, a major land owner and real estate developer in the Newton Centre area. The house and surrounding property were owned for many of the later years of the 19th century and early years of the 20th century by Charles S. Davis, another major force in the development of Newton Centre. Under Davis's ownership, much of the original estate was split off for other houses and streets to be built, while the original Mount Pleasant house remained. By 1917, Mr. Addison C. Burnham owned the house and was calling his smaller property "Jolly's Hollow". Subsequent owners continued to call it "Jolly's Hollow", at least into 2018. In January 1997, the Wilson family, owners of Jolly's Hollow/Mount Pleasant, donated 0.5 acres of the wooded portion of their property to the City of Newton for the creation of the Wilson Conservation Area. In 2012, the Wilsons donated to the Newton Conservators a conservation restriction to preserve an additional 1.5 acres of their land. This conservation land, as intended, adds a link to a popular walking trail that connects a playground, elementary school, and park nearby, and also to suburbs to the west. The walking trail is on top of the underground Cochituate and Sudbury Aqueducts (built in 1848 and 1878, respectively, to supply water to Boston and nearby municipalities). The Mount Pleasant house happens to be situated right between the two aqueducts, which both have easements under the Jolly's Hollow property. The Wilsons sold the house and property in July 2018 to the Fiete family, having originally purchased it from the Scribner family in March 1966.

Mountain Meadow Preserve

Mountain Meadow Preserve ist der Name eines 180 Acres (0,7 km²) großen Naturschutzgebiets auf den Stadtgebieten von Williamstown und Pownal in den Bundesstaaten Massachusetts und Vermont der Vereinigten Staaten. Es wird von der Organisation The Trustees of Reservations verwaltet. Geschichte Es wird angenommen, dass bereits die Indianer die dort befindlichen heißen Quellen nutzten, um in ihrer Umgebung zu siedeln. Aufgrund seiner abgeschiedenen Lage und des Siebenjährigen Kriegs in Nordamerika (1754 bis 1763) drangen die europäischen Kolonisten erst relativ spät – gegen Ende des 18. Jahrhunderts – bis dorthin vor. Während die tiefer gelegenen Berghänge als Ackerbau- und Weideflächen genutzt wurden, dienten die höheren Bereiche zur Holzgewinnung. In der Mitte des 19. Jahrhunderts wurde dort zudem eine Kiesgrube betrieben. Die Botanikerin Grace Greylock Niles, die den vom Schutzgebiet aus sichtbaren Mount Greylock als Vorbild für ihren mittleren Namen wählte, lebte viele Jahre in dieser Gegend. In ihrem Buch Bog Trotting for Orchids beschreibt sie die einzigartige Pflanzenwelt des Hoosac Valley. Das Schutzgebiet wurde 1998 eingerichtet und im Jahr 2000 um weitere Grundstücke erweitert. Schutzgebiet Etwa 4 mi (6,4 km) Wanderwege führen durch Weideflächen und Waldgebiete und erlauben eine gute Sicht auf die umgebenden Berkshire Mountains. Das Schutzgebiet bietet einen reichhaltigen Lebensraum für Bären, Kojoten, Luchse, Füchse und Hirsche, aber auch für Vielzahl von Amphibien, Reptilien und kleineren Säugetieren. Auf den offenen Flächen gedeihen Astern, Prärie-Gräser, Goldruten sowie Fransenenziane, welche die Lebensgrundlage für Monarchfalter und Hüttensänger bilden. Trotz seiner vergleichsweise geringen Fläche erstreckt sich das Schutzgebiet von einer Ausgangshöhe von 690 ft (210,3 m) bei Williamstown bis auf mehr als 1.100 ft (335,3 m) in Vermont.

Myles Standish Monument State Reservation

Myles Standish Monument State Reservation is a public recreation area and historic preserve in Duxbury, Massachusetts, United States. The focus of the state park is a 116-foot granite shaft topped by a statue of Captain Myles Standish. Standish was military leader of Plymouth Colony. The park is managed by the Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation. History A dedication and cornerstone-laying ceremony attended by 10,000 people took place on October 7, 1872. The monument was not completed until 1898. The monument was built on Captain's Hill, the highest point, 200 feet above sea level, on what was once Standish's farm. The monument rises 116 feet from its foundation to a small viewing parapet that offers panoramic views over the original Plymouth Colony. The 14-foot statue that surmounts the tower has Standish gazing eastward across Massachusetts Bay and holding the colony's charter. The Commonwealth of Massachusetts has owned the monument and grounds since 1920. The monument was refurbished in 1988. Activities and amenities The tower's 125 steps can be climbed when open, yielding views from the top of 19th-century lighthouses, Duxbury Beach, Plymouth Harbor, and the Blue Hills to the northwest. The park offers walking trails, picnic tables, and seasonal interpretive programs. Nearby is Myles Standish Burial Ground, the final resting place for the Captain, with a second, smaller monument built over his gravesite.

Wheeler-Minot Farmhouse

The Wheeler-Minot Farmhouse, also known as the Thoreau Farm or the Henry David Thoreau Birthplace, is a historic house at 341 Virginia Road in Concord, Massachusetts, United States. It is significant as the birthplace of writer Henry David Thoreau. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2004. It currently serves as a historic house museum and is open to the public. History The Wheeler-Minot Farmhouse is set on a 20-acre (8.1 ha) property on the north side of Virginia Road in eastern Concord. The house is a 2+1⁄2-story wood-frame structure, five bays wide, with a side-gable roof, large central chimney, clapboard siding, and a fieldstone foundation. The center entrance is flanked by pilasters and topped by a dentillated cornice. The farmhouse was originally built circa 1730 by John Wheeler. Later, the farm was purchased by Deacon Samuel Minot for his second son Jonas. Jonas Minot was the stepfather of Thoreau's mother, having become the second husband of his maternal grandmother. Though the building has been extensively modified over the years, this house was the farmhouse of a prominent area farm for 200 years. Unlike other writers and thinkers associated with Concord—including Ralph Waldo Emerson, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Amos Bronson Alcott, and Louisa May Alcott—Henry David Thoreau was the only one born in the town. He was born on the family farm on July 12, 1817. He lived in town for most of his life. Shortly after Thoreau's death in 1862, scholars, disciples, and tourists began to seek out the author's birthplace. Restoration The house was acquired in 1995 by the Thoreau Farm Trust, a non-profit organization. The site underwent an extensive restoration and is now a museum open to the public on weekends between May and October.
