About Holden, Massachusetts
Holden is a town of 19,905 people in Worcester County, on the northwest edge of Worcester. It began as the north half of Worcester, and Jonas Rice discovered limestone there during the spring of 1723. Worcester's proprietors encouraged him to burn lime, and the first settlers built their homes near the lime lot. On January 9, 1741, the governor signed the act that made the north half a separate town, named for Samuel Holden, a London merchant who became governor of the Bank of England after serving as one of its directors.
At their first business meeting, the new town's voters agreed that the gospel should be preached and that a school would teach reading and writing. In 1789 John Hancock gave the town an acre of land for its meetinghouse and common. When the meetinghouse frame was raised that year, a town committee bought rum and sugar for the spectators who gathered to see it go up.
“It is no exaggeration to state that Abbott's Hotel was known from the Pacific to the Atlantic Ocean.”
- The Sixth Massachusetts TurnpikeChartered in 1799, the Sixth Massachusetts Turnpike was finished in a single summer. Its 43 miles ran from Shrewsbury to Amherst by way of Holden Center, and travelers from Vermont, New Hampshire and northwestern Massachusetts rode it toward Boston. Many of them broke the trip at the Abbott Tavern in the center of town.
- The Abbott Tavern, 1763Built in 1763, the Abbott Tavern stayed in the Abbott family for three generations, well over a hundred years. The Worcester County Knights Templar held their meetings in its hall from 1824 to 1831. When they came back in 1875 to mark their fiftieth anniversary, they carried the tavern's old chandelier home with them to Worcester.
- Cotton around the CapeHolden's first factory work began in 1809, when Eleazar Rider and Sons started spinning cotton yarn at Unionville. In 1824 the mill shipped nineteen bales of its sheeting to Batavia, said at the time to be the first American cotton cloth carried around the Cape of Good Hope. Other villages grew along the streams. Jefferson, once called Drydenville, became eight times larger after Howe and Jefferson enlarged its woolen mill into two mills with 250 workers.
- A house from before 1733The Rogers House on Boyden Road, a one-and-a-half-story Cape, was standing by 1733 and may be the oldest building in Holden. Tradition dates it to 1722, but no firm evidence backs that year. It is the best-preserved local example of a house style that was once common in the area, and it joined the National Register in 1982.
- A water lab since 1894In 1894 Worcester Polytechnic Institute opened a hydraulic testing laboratory in Holden, where a woolen mill once stood, on land given by Stephen Salisbury III. In 1911 the lab mounted a rotating steel boom over a pond, and engineers used it to check current meters and, in later years, airplane propellers. The boom is now a historic landmark of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, and the lab, known today as the Alden Research Laboratory, has never stopped working.
