Places to stay in Princeton Station, Massachusetts

Incorporated in 1759, Princeton was named after the Reverend Thomas Prince, Pastor of the Old South Church in Boston, and one of the first proprietors of the Town. "Hide and Seek Town", as Princeton was called by Helen Hunt Jackson, the novelist, in 1876, has an uncommonly interesting past for a small town, and both old-timers and new residents are justifiably proud of its heritage. In 1675, long before the town was settled, Mary Rowlandson of Lancaster was ransomed upon our "Redemption Rock" from the Indian chief King Philip after eleven harrowing weeks in captivity. During the Revolution, Princeton supported its own company of Minute Men, many of whom were forbears of residents today. After the war, the Town was one of the hotbeds of dissension that caused Shays Rebellion in 1786. Local dining options include Mountain Barn Restaurant.

Wachusett, where he was stirred to write of the mountain, " who like me/standest alone without society."
