▁information ▁on ▁mal aria ▁and ▁associated ▁topics , ▁organ ised ▁on ▁a ▁ge ographical ▁basis . ▁ ▁The ▁work ▁of ▁M AP ▁falls ▁into ▁three ▁areas : ▁ ▁The ▁estimation ▁of ▁the ▁spatial ▁distribution ▁of ▁mal aria ▁preval ence ▁and ▁inc idence ▁and ▁related ▁topics ▁such ▁as ▁the ▁spatial ▁distribution ▁of ▁insect icide ▁treated ▁n ets , ▁ant imal ar ial ▁drugs , ▁mos qu ito ▁vectors , ▁and ▁human ▁blood ▁disorders ▁Dis se min ating ▁data ▁on ▁mal aria ▁via ▁the ▁Rep ository ▁for ▁Open ▁Access ▁Data ▁( RO AD - MAP ) ▁project ▁Prov iding ▁maps ▁relating ▁to ▁mal aria ▁preval ence ▁and ▁related ▁topics ▁for ▁the ▁World ▁Health ▁Organization ▁( W HO ) ▁and ▁other ▁bodies . ▁ ▁The ▁M AP ▁team ▁have ▁assembled ▁a ▁unique ▁spatial ▁database ▁on ▁linked ▁information ▁derived ▁from ▁medical ▁intelligence , ▁satellite - der ived ▁climate ▁data ▁to ▁constr ain ▁the ▁limits ▁of ▁mal aria ▁transmission , ▁and ▁the ▁largest ▁ever ▁archive ▁of ▁community - based ▁estimates ▁of ▁paras ite ▁preval ence . ▁These ▁data ▁have ▁been ▁assembled ▁and ▁analys ed ▁by ▁a ▁team ▁of ▁ge ograph ers , ▁statist icians , ▁epid emi ologists , ▁bi ologists ▁and ▁public ▁health ▁specialists . ▁ ▁Furthermore , ▁where ▁these ▁data ▁have ▁been ▁cleared ▁for ▁release , ▁they ▁are ▁available ▁via ▁a ▁data ▁expl orer ▁tool ▁on ▁the ▁M AP ▁website . ▁ ▁History ▁ ▁M AP ▁was ▁founded ▁by ▁Bob ▁Snow ▁and ▁Simon ▁Hay ▁in ▁ 2 0 0 5 ▁to ▁fill ▁the ▁n iche ▁for
▁the ▁mal aria ▁control ▁community ▁at ▁a ▁global ▁scale . ▁ ▁Between ▁ 2 0 1 2 ▁and ▁ 2 0 1 5 , ▁it ▁was ▁led ▁by ▁Peter ▁G ething , ▁Dave ▁Smith , ▁Catherine ▁M oy es ▁and ▁Simon ▁Hay . ▁The ▁initial ▁focus ▁of ▁M AP ▁cent red ▁on ▁predict ing ▁the ▁end emic ity ▁of ▁Pl as mod ium ▁fal cip ar um , ▁the ▁most ▁deadly ▁form ▁of ▁the ▁mal aria ▁paras ite , ▁due ▁to ▁its ▁global ▁epid emi ological ▁significance ▁and ▁its ▁better ▁prospects ▁for ▁elim ination ▁and ▁control . ▁Work ▁in ▁ 2 0 0 9 ▁began ▁to ▁map ▁the ▁extent ▁and ▁burden ▁of ▁the ▁relatively ▁neg lected ▁Pl as mod ium ▁viv ax . ▁ ▁The ▁Rep ository ▁for ▁Open ▁Access ▁Data ▁from ▁the ▁Mal aria ▁Atl as ▁Project ▁( RO AD - MAP ) ▁was ▁established ▁by ▁Catherine ▁M oy es , ▁Simon ▁Hay ▁and ▁Bob ▁Snow ▁in ▁ 2 0 1 1 . ▁ ▁Between ▁ 2 0 1 4 ▁and ▁ 2 0 1 9 , ▁it ▁was ▁led ▁by ▁Peter ▁G ething ▁and ▁Mike ▁Th orn . ▁ ▁Academ ic ▁research ▁ ▁Mod elling ▁mal aria ▁preval ence ▁ ▁A ▁key ▁aspect ▁of ▁M AP ’ s ▁work ▁is ▁to ▁use ▁statistical ▁approaches ▁to ▁mod elling ▁the ▁preval ence ▁of ▁different ▁forms ▁of ▁mal aria ▁on ▁a ▁global ▁scale ▁using ▁Bay esian ▁model - based ▁ge ost at istics . ▁ ▁Var ious ▁environmental ▁factors ▁are ▁known ▁to ▁affect ▁mal
aria ▁preval ence . ▁Mal aria ▁preval ence ▁is ▁known ▁to ▁vary ▁in ▁a ▁relatively ▁predict able ▁fashion ▁in ▁space ▁and ▁time , ▁and ▁observed ▁mal aria ▁preval ence ▁depends ▁heavily ▁on ▁people ’ s ▁age ▁and ▁intervention ▁coverage . ▁ ▁In ▁spatial ▁epid emi ology , ▁it ▁is ▁common ▁to ▁find ▁that ▁very ▁few ▁measurements ▁have ▁been ▁taken ▁in ▁large ▁parts ▁of ▁the ▁ge ographical ▁region ▁of ▁interest . ▁The ▁available ▁measurements ▁may ▁be ▁error - pr one ▁or ▁in com plet ely ▁reported , ▁and ▁almost ▁always ▁it ▁is ▁a ▁subset ▁of ▁the ▁local ▁population ▁that ▁has ▁been ▁survey ed . ▁ ▁Since ▁ 2 0 0 5 , ▁M AP ▁has ▁coll ated ▁an ▁extensive ▁database ▁of ▁survey ▁data ▁from ▁a ▁variety ▁of ▁sources . ▁ ▁These ▁surveys ▁are ▁typically ▁cl ust ered ▁at ▁village ▁level ▁and ▁record ▁data ▁on ▁paras ite ▁posit ivity ▁rates , ▁usually ▁determined ▁by ▁rapid ▁diagnostic ▁blood ▁tests . ▁▁▁ ▁Additionally , ▁M AP ▁has ▁gathered ▁extensive ▁data ▁on ▁cov ari ates ▁such ▁as ▁temperature ▁suit ability ▁and ▁land ▁cover . ▁ ▁These ▁factors ▁affect ▁the ▁distribution ▁of ▁the ▁mos qu ito ▁vectors ▁responsible ▁for ▁spreading ▁mal aria . ▁ ▁The ▁benefit ▁of ▁using ▁Bay esian ▁model - based ▁ge ost at istics ▁is ▁that ▁it ▁conve ys ▁the ▁spat ially ▁varying ▁level ▁of ▁uncertainty ▁associated ▁with ▁the ▁mapped ▁surface . ▁ ▁The ▁probability ▁that ▁any ▁of ▁the ▁very ▁many ▁individual ▁( c andidate ) ▁maps ▁is ▁the ▁single ▁correct ▁map ▁is ▁small , ▁so
▁it ▁is ▁not ▁useful ▁to ▁report ▁the ▁single ▁most ▁likely ▁map . ▁ ▁T aken ▁together , ▁however , ▁the ▁candidate ▁maps ▁make ▁it ▁possible ▁to ▁compute ▁the ▁probability ▁of ▁correct ness ▁of ▁statements ▁about ▁the ▁map , ▁such ▁as ▁Pl as mod ium ▁fal cip ar um ▁end emic ity ▁at ▁location ▁x ▁in ▁ 2 0 1 0 ▁was ▁between ▁ 0 . 1 ▁and ▁ 0 . 3 ". ▁ ▁Pl as mod ium ▁fal cip ar um ▁preval ence ▁maps ▁ ▁Since ▁the ▁year ▁ 2 0 0 0 , ▁a ▁concert ed ▁campaign ▁against ▁mal aria ▁has ▁led ▁to ▁unpre ced ented ▁levels ▁of ▁intervention ▁coverage ▁across ▁sub - S ah aran ▁Africa . ▁Future ▁control ▁planning ▁depends ▁on ▁understanding ▁the ▁effect ▁of ▁this ▁effort . ▁However , ▁the ▁effect ▁of ▁mal aria ▁inter ventions ▁across ▁the ▁varied ▁epid emi ological ▁settings ▁of ▁Africa ▁remains ▁poorly ▁understood ▁o wing ▁to ▁the ▁absence ▁of ▁reliable ▁surveillance ▁data ▁and ▁the ▁simpl istic ▁approaches ▁underlying ▁current ▁disease ▁estimates . ▁ ▁In ▁September ▁ 2 0 1 5 , ▁research ▁by ▁M AP ▁published ▁in ▁Nature ▁quant ified ▁the ▁attribut able ▁effect ▁of ▁mal aria ▁disease ▁control ▁efforts ▁in ▁Africa . ▁The ▁results ▁showed ▁Pl as mod ium ▁fal cip ar um ▁infection ▁preval ence ▁in ▁end emic ▁Africa ▁hal ved ▁and ▁the ▁inc idence ▁of ▁clinical ▁disease ▁fell ▁by ▁ 4 0 % ▁between ▁ 2 0 0 0 ▁and ▁ 2 0 1 5 . ▁ ▁The ▁best ▁estimate ▁is
▁that ▁inter ventions ▁have ▁a verted ▁ 6 6 3 ▁million ▁clinical ▁cases ▁since ▁ 2 0 0 0 . ▁In sect icide - tre ated ▁n ets , ▁the ▁most ▁widespread ▁intervention , ▁were ▁by ▁far ▁the ▁largest ▁contributor . ▁Although ▁still ▁below ▁target ▁levels , ▁current ▁mal aria ▁inter ventions ▁have ▁substant ially ▁reduced ▁mal aria ▁disease ▁inc idence ▁across ▁the ▁continent . ▁ ▁Pl as mod ium ▁viv ax ▁preval ence ▁maps ▁ ▁In ▁ 2 0 1 2 , ▁M AP ▁published ▁the ▁first ▁global ▁maps ▁for ▁Pl as mod ium ▁viv ax ▁end emic ity . ▁ ▁Data ▁collection , ▁cur ation , ▁and ▁disse min ation ▁ ▁W HO ▁World ▁Mal aria ▁Re ports ▁ ▁The ▁M AP ▁team ▁works ▁in ▁collaboration ▁with ▁the ▁World ▁Health ▁Organization ▁( W HO ) ▁to ▁provide ▁the ▁preval ence ▁estimates ▁for ▁sub - S ah aran ▁African ▁countries ▁for ▁the ▁annual ▁World ▁Mal aria ▁Report . ▁Additionally , ▁M AP ▁a ids ▁the ▁W HO ▁in ▁production ▁of ▁the ▁annual ▁preval ence ▁rates ▁maps ▁in ▁the ▁World ▁Mal aria ▁Report . ▁ ▁O ng o ing ▁data ▁cur ation ▁ ▁The ▁M AP ▁database ▁is ▁the ▁biggest ▁source ▁of ▁processed ▁mal ari ometric ▁data ▁available . ▁ ▁By ▁April ▁ 2 0 1 5 , ▁the ▁M AP ▁database ▁contained : ▁▁ 4 0 , 0 0 0 ▁ge o - refer enced ▁cluster ▁locations ’ ▁paras ite ▁rate ▁survey ▁records ▁from ▁ 2 , 0 1 0 ▁sources ▁

▁The ▁word ▁comes ▁from ▁the ▁local ▁W amp ano ag ▁Indians , ▁who ▁had ▁a ▁settlement ▁in ▁the ▁area , ▁and ▁has ▁two ▁mean ings : ▁" place ▁of ▁rocks " ▁and ▁" s ong ▁of ▁praise ". ▁Those ▁mean ings ▁are ▁traditional , ▁but ▁the ▁former ▁can ▁be ▁segment ed ▁as : ▁( h ) ass un - et ▁where ▁hass un ▁or ▁ass in , ▁which ▁is ▁a ▁word ▁used ▁by ▁southern ▁New ▁England ▁Al gon qu ian , ▁means ▁" stone ". ▁The ▁- et ▁is ▁a ▁loc ative ▁suffix : ▁" at ▁the ▁place ▁of ▁the ▁stone ". ▁The ▁entire ▁region ▁was ▁sold ▁to ▁the ▁English ▁in ▁ 1 6 5 9 ▁by ▁the ▁W amp ano ags , ▁but , ▁due ▁to ▁the ▁Al gon qu ian ▁mobile ▁way ▁of ▁life ▁and ▁the ▁splitting ▁and ▁re comb ining ▁of ▁social ▁units , ▁the ▁N ip m uc s ▁may ▁have ▁been ▁subject ▁to ▁or ▁at ▁the ▁time ▁part ▁of ▁the ▁W amp ano ags . ▁ ▁The ▁English ▁settlement ▁remained ▁for ▁many ▁years ▁a ▁small ▁fishing ▁and ▁farming ▁village , ▁growing ▁to ▁be ▁Fre et own ' s ▁more ▁indust ri ous ▁side ▁by ▁the ▁end ▁of ▁the ▁ 1 8 th ▁century . ▁By ▁the ▁end ▁of ▁the ▁ 1 9 th ▁century , ▁Ass on et ▁had ▁begun ▁to ▁slowly ▁return ▁to ▁its ▁origins , ▁having ▁less ▁and ▁less ▁industry ▁in ▁town . ▁At ▁the ▁beginning ▁of ▁the ▁ 2 1 st ▁century , ▁the ▁village
▁has ▁once ▁again ▁begun ▁to ▁expand ▁rapidly . ▁▁ 1 7 th ▁century ▁Ass on et ▁was ▁settled ▁on ▁April ▁ 2 , ▁ 1 6 5 9 , ▁but ▁a ▁string ▁of ▁wars ▁between ▁English ▁sett lers ▁and ▁the ▁local ▁W amp ano ag ▁Indians , ▁including ▁King ▁Philip ' s ▁War , ▁prevented ▁much ▁permanent ▁settlement ▁until ▁later . ▁History ▁shows ▁the ▁area ▁existed ▁as ▁a ▁propriet ary ▁settlement ▁as ▁early ▁as ▁ 1 6 8 0 , ▁and ▁in ▁ 1 6 8 3 ▁Ass on et ▁and ▁Fall ▁River ▁were ▁incorporated ▁as ▁the ▁Town ▁of ▁Fre et own , ▁named ▁as ▁such ▁because ▁its ▁sett lers ▁were ▁Fre emen . ▁The ▁earliest ▁records ▁of ▁the ▁town , ▁from ▁approximately ▁ 1 6 8 0 - 1 6 8 5 , ▁have ▁been ▁lost . ▁Since ▁then , ▁records ▁have ▁been ▁kept ▁and ▁maintained ▁to ▁trace ▁back ▁the ▁town ' s ▁legacy . ▁Little ▁development ▁occurred ▁after ▁the ▁incorpor ation ▁of ▁the ▁town , ▁other ▁than ▁the ▁construction ▁of ▁houses ▁and ▁smaller ▁businesses . ▁▁ 1 8 th ▁century ▁Ass on et ▁became ▁a ▁prominent ▁commercial ▁fishing ▁port ▁in ▁Sout he astern ▁Massachusetts ▁in ▁the ▁ 1 8 th ▁century , ▁best ▁known ▁for ▁its ▁tr out . ▁Industry ▁had ▁also ▁begun ▁to ▁develop , ▁including ▁gr ist ▁mill s , ▁saw m ills ▁and ▁a ▁black smith ' s ▁shop . ▁As ▁the ▁century ▁progress ed , ▁the ▁vill agers ▁began ▁to ▁fall ▁under ▁the ▁same ▁str ains ▁as
▁the ▁rest ▁of ▁the ▁colon ists . ▁Ass on et ▁was ▁far ▁enough ▁east ▁that ▁it ▁avoided ▁many ▁of ▁the ▁problems ▁faced ▁during ▁the ▁French ▁and ▁Indian ▁War , ▁but ▁did ▁feature ▁in ▁the ▁Revolution ary ▁War . ▁Sk irm ishes ▁were ▁fought ▁in ▁Ass on et , ▁and ▁the ▁Battle ▁of ▁Fre et own ▁was ▁fought ▁on ▁the ▁out sk irts ▁of ▁the ▁village ▁in ▁present - day ▁Fall ▁River . ▁The ▁main ▁settled ▁area ▁of ▁the ▁village ▁was ▁known ▁to ▁support ▁the ▁British , ▁even ▁har bor ing ▁a ▁general ▁before ▁he ▁fled ▁to ▁New port , ▁Rh ode ▁Island . ▁The ▁white ▁chim neys ▁with ▁black ▁rings ▁on ▁many ▁of ▁the ▁oldest ▁houses ▁are ▁indic ative ▁of ▁homes ▁that ▁supported ▁the ▁British . ▁As ▁the ▁ 1 8 th ▁century ▁closed , ▁churches ▁and ▁other ▁more ▁prominent ▁buildings ▁began ▁to ▁pop ▁up ▁around ▁the ▁village , ▁including ▁the ▁ 1 7 9 4 ▁construction ▁of ▁Village ▁School , ▁then ▁the ▁office ▁of ▁a ▁Ray n ham ▁lawyer . ▁▁ 1 9 th ▁century ▁ ▁The ▁ 1 9 th ▁century ▁was ▁perhaps ▁the ▁most ▁indust ri ous ▁period ▁in ▁the ▁history ▁of ▁Ass on et . ▁The ▁village ▁developed ▁rapidly , ▁with ▁its ▁combination ▁of ▁rail ro ads , ▁ships , ▁its ▁position ▁on ▁the ▁stage co ach ▁and ▁mail ▁routes , ▁and ▁its ▁fact ories . ▁The ▁current ▁Route ▁ 7 9 ▁roughly ▁follows ▁the ▁mail ▁and ▁stage co ach ▁route ▁from ▁Rh ode ▁Island ▁to ▁Boston , ▁and
▁the ▁Green ▁Dragon ▁T aver n ▁on ▁South ▁Main ▁Street ▁was ▁a ▁popular ▁stop over ▁along ▁the ▁route . ▁The ▁downtown ▁area ▁bo asted ▁ship building ▁and ▁was ▁an ▁import / export ▁port , ▁as ▁well ▁as ▁a ▁successful ▁fishing ▁industry . ▁ ▁The ▁N . ▁R . ▁Davis ▁Gun ▁Man uf actory , ▁located ▁near ▁and ▁on ▁a ▁portion ▁of ▁where ▁H ath away ▁Park ▁now ▁sits , ▁opened ▁and ▁provided ▁many ▁weapons ▁to ▁Union ▁soldiers ▁during ▁the ▁Civil ▁War . ▁Also ▁built ▁was ▁the ▁Cry stal ▁Springs ▁B le ach ery ▁and ▁D ying ▁Company , ▁which ▁brought ▁mill h ousing ▁to ▁a ▁small ▁area ▁of ▁the ▁village , ▁and ▁employed ▁many ▁from ▁town ▁and ▁neighbor ing ▁Fall ▁River , ▁also ▁known ▁for ▁industry . ▁ ▁North ▁Church ▁( 1 8 0 9 ), ▁Town ▁Hall ▁( 1 8 8 8 ), ▁and ▁the ▁Gu il ford ▁H . ▁H ath away ▁Library ▁( 1 8 9 5 ) ▁were ▁all ▁constructed ▁in ▁the ▁same ▁small ▁area ▁on ▁Ta un ton ▁Hill , ▁and ▁compliment ed ▁the ▁Village ▁School ▁nicely . ▁The ▁Town ▁Hall ▁has ▁served ▁as ▁the ▁municipal ▁office ▁building ▁( 1 8 8 8 – present ), ▁meeting ▁hall ▁( 1 8 8 8 – 1 9 7 6 ), ▁library ▁( 1 8 8 8 – 1 8 9 5 ), ▁police ▁station ▁( 1 8 8 8 – 1 9 7 8 ), ▁and ▁a ▁variety ▁of ▁other ▁functions . ▁The ▁second ▁floor , ▁literally ▁a ▁hall
, ▁was ▁sub div ided ▁into ▁office ▁space ▁in ▁the ▁mid - 1 9 7 0 s . ▁The ▁Gu il ford ▁H ath away ▁Library ▁( b . ▁ 1 8 9 5 ) ▁served ▁as ▁the ▁town ' s ▁only ▁library ▁from ▁its ▁construction ▁until ▁the ▁James ▁White ▁Library ▁opened ▁in ▁East ▁Fre et own ▁in ▁ 1 9 4 7 . ▁The ▁first ▁Post ▁Office ▁in ▁town ▁opened ▁in ▁Ass on et ▁in ▁ 1 8 1 1 , ▁and ▁has ▁operated ▁continuously ▁since ▁then , ▁first ▁in ▁a ▁raz ed ▁building ▁on ▁the ▁corner ▁of ▁El m ▁and ▁North ▁Main ▁Stre ets , ▁later ▁in ▁a ▁second ▁raz ed ▁building , ▁and ▁since ▁ 1 9 6 2 ▁at ▁the ▁facility ▁on ▁South ▁Main ▁Street ▁near ▁the ▁former ▁Ass on et ▁Star ▁Market . ▁The ▁Z IP ▁Code ▁for ▁Ass on et ▁is ▁ 0 2 7 0 2 . ▁▁ 2 0 th ▁century ▁ ▁In ▁the ▁mid - 2 0 th ▁century , ▁Ass on et ▁began ▁to ▁remove ▁itself ▁from ▁the ▁commercial / indust rial ▁scene . ▁Most ▁of ▁its ▁mill s ▁closed ▁during ▁this ▁period , ▁following ▁the ▁Second ▁World ▁War . ▁The ▁N . ▁R . ▁Davis ▁Gun ▁Factory ▁burned ▁to ▁the ▁ground ▁in ▁ 1 9 2 5 ; ▁and ▁the ▁Cry stal ▁Springs ▁B le ach ery , ▁now ▁New ▁England ▁Text ile , ▁burned ▁in ▁ 1 9 5 5 . ▁( Rem n ants ▁of ▁the ▁latter ▁can ▁be ▁found
▁by ▁Mill ▁P ond .) ▁The ▁former ▁Mon ument ▁Manufact uring ▁Company ▁on ▁Mill ▁& ▁Loc ust ▁St s . ▁was ▁the ▁largest ▁domestic ▁producer ▁of ▁sleeping ▁bags ▁during ▁World ▁War ▁II . ▁In ▁the ▁post war ▁period , ▁the ▁majority ▁of ▁vill agers ▁sought ▁work ▁outside ▁of ▁town , ▁and ▁farming ▁also ▁came ▁back ▁into ▁common ▁practice . ▁This ▁reverse ▁trend ▁would ▁not ▁last ▁long . ▁By ▁the ▁ 1 9 9 0 s , ▁the ▁village ▁began ▁to ▁develop ▁again ▁as ▁the ▁region ▁was ▁seen ▁as ▁a ▁" g reat ▁escape " ▁for ▁upper class ▁Boston ▁workers . ▁ ▁Next ▁to ▁the ▁H ath away ▁Library ▁is ▁a ▁local ▁Ver izon ▁station , ▁which ▁is ▁the ▁home ▁of ▁one ▁of ▁the ▁first ▁regional ▁dial ing ▁systems . ▁Not ▁far ▁away ▁is ▁Fre et own ▁Fire ▁Department ▁Company ▁ 1 , ▁constructed ▁in ▁ 1 9 4 8 . ▁▁ 2 1 st ▁century ▁The ▁ 2 1 st ▁century ▁has ▁brought ▁a ▁renew ed ▁spirit ▁to ▁Ass on et . ▁The ▁Stop ▁& ▁Shop ▁Super market ▁Company ▁opened ▁a ▁new ▁ 1 . 3 ▁million ▁square ▁foot ▁( 1 2 0 , 0 0 0 ▁m 2 ) ▁distribution ▁center ▁on ▁near ▁the ▁site ▁of ▁the ▁Cry stal ▁Springs ▁B le ach ery ▁after ▁it ▁received ▁a ▁tax ▁increment ▁financing ▁agreement ▁from ▁the ▁town , ▁which ▁has ▁saved ▁the ▁company ▁almost ▁$ 2 ▁million ▁in ▁property ▁tax ▁as ▁of ▁ 2 0 0 7 . ▁ ▁They ▁provided ▁over ▁ 8
0 0 ▁jobs ▁to ▁the ▁region ▁but ▁as ▁of ▁ 2 0 0 5 , ▁only ▁ 3 6 ▁of ▁those ▁jobs ▁are ▁held ▁by ▁residents ▁of ▁Fre et own . ▁Port ions ▁of ▁the ▁village ▁were ▁designated ▁to ▁the ▁National ▁Register ▁of ▁Historic ▁Pl aces . ▁ ▁Historic ▁District ▁ ▁The ▁Ass on et ▁Historic ▁District ▁has ▁been ▁on ▁the ▁National ▁Register ▁of ▁Historic ▁Pl aces ▁since ▁ 1 9 9 9 . ▁The ▁boundaries ▁are , ▁roughly , ▁High ▁Street , ▁the ▁rail road ▁tracks , ▁a ▁private ▁road , ▁and ▁Route ▁ 2 4 . ▁It ▁contains ▁many ▁buildings ▁of ▁local ▁and ▁widespread ▁historical ▁significance , ▁including ▁the ▁home ▁of ▁United ▁States ▁Secretary ▁of ▁State ▁John ▁Hay ' s ▁grandfather . ▁ ▁Properties ▁Ass on et ▁B ury ing ▁Ground ▁( c . 1 8 0 0 ) ▁Col . ▁Thomas ▁Gilbert ▁House ▁( c . 1 7 0 0 ) ▁Fre et own ▁Town ▁Hall ▁( 1 8 8 8 ) ▁Gu il ford ▁H . ▁H ath away ▁Library ▁( 1 8 9 5 ) ▁North ▁Church ▁( 1 8 0 9 ) ▁( now ▁the ▁United ▁Church ▁of ▁Ass on et ) ▁South ▁Church ▁( c . 1 8 3 5 ) ▁( now ▁St . ▁Bernard ' s ▁Church ) ▁Village ▁School ▁( 1 7 9 4 ) ▁ ▁Ch urches ▁In ▁ 1 7 9 5 , ▁ 1 8 3 5 , ▁ 1 8 0 9 , ▁and ▁ 1 9 3 7
