About this item

This article from the Northhampton, Massachusetts, Bicentennial Edition of the Daily Hampshire Gazette summarizes the history of Ware, calling it “The Town that Can’t Be Licked.” the article describes how townspeople banded together to buy a textile mill when the company that employed 75 % of the town’s workforce moved south. Ware was settled between 1719 and 1730, and has suffered periodic economic declines typical of New England mill towns.
