description: Rochester is a charming country town located inland from two of Buzzards Bay's most beautiful seaport towns, Marion and Mattapoisett, which were once part of Rochester. This book looks at the landscape, people, and buildings from Rochester center to Bizbee's Corner in North Rochester. Images include Leonard's Farm, which was transformed by the Leonard family and then by the Hiller family into today's Eastover Farm. Rochester's industry is examined, including a look at the only two sawmills to survive into the twentieth century, owned by the Rounsville and Hartley families. Through vintage images culled from the archives of the Rochester Historical Society, Rochester will delight readers with rare images of this oasis that continues to maintain a quiet, rural atmosphere.
