Barbara Underhill Barker's Books

Located on the South Shore of Massachusetts midway between Boston and Cape Cod, the Hanover area began attracting settlers as early as 1649. The waterways of the North River Valley beckoned to shipbuilders, millwrights, and associated trades, and the villages that developed near these workplaces still reflect their rural beginnings and architecture. The Four Corners, site of the Wales Tavern, which hosted Paul Revere and Daniel Webster, looks much as it did a century ago. The USS Constitution anchor was forged in Hanover, and in more recent history, the National Fireworks Company was a leader in munitions production during World Wars I and II.

When Barbara Barker arrived in Hanover in 1964, she fell in love with the community. That initial infatuation made her one of the South Shore's most well-known, widely read and beloved historians. In this collected work, the Hanover Historical Society shares the stories Barbara Barker loved to tell, of the early days when shipbuilders and oxen drivers were as prevalent as farmers and hoteliers. Step inside the old village markets and ride along the old back roads or on the tracks of the Hanover Branch Railroad to see what Hanover once was and what remains today.
