About Reading, Massachusetts
Reading is a town of 25,518 people in Middlesex County, 16 miles north of Boston. Settlers from Lynn started Lynn Village beside the Great Pond in 1639, and in 1644 the settlement was incorporated as Reading, after the English town of the same name. Today's Reading was then the wooded west end of that town, and by 1673 the records called it Wood End.
The farmers of Wood End faced a long ride to the meeting house beside the pond. When they asked to form their own parish, the town refused by a vote of 50 to 45 and instead offered £17 a year for preaching in winter if they gave up the idea. The General Court set off the Third Parish in 1769, with no fewer than 55 houses, and the new parish held its first meeting on August 9. Later the other two parishes split off as Wakefield and North Reading, so Wood End kept the old name.
“for some time Reading continued to be the banner town in the anti-slavery conflict.”
- Minute-men in the parsonageBefore the war, Dr. John Brooks trained his minute-men in the evenings in the Wood End parsonage kitchen, and their guns left marks in the ceiling. On the night of April 18, 1775, he made his rounds as though calling on patients. His men met at Weston's Corner, marched through Bedford and were among the first to reach Concord as the British retreated toward Boston. Brooks went on to serve at Valley Forge and later became Governor of Massachusetts.
- The Parker Tavern, by 1694Close to fifty British prisoners from Burgoyne's army were reportedly held there in 1778, and a spoon stamped with the British lion later turned up. In 1916 town meeting voted 86 to 32 to buy the house for the Reading Antiquarian Society, which has run it as a museum since 1923.
- Antislavery women in 1833On March 23, 1833, the women of Reading organized the Reading Female Antislavery Society. William Lloyd Garrison, the Boston abolitionist, called it the first society of its kind in the country.
- Hats, organs and organ pipesHats became costly during the War of 1812, so Nathan Weston designed a stovepipe hat that kept out water, then swapped cotton plush for silk. According to the 1880 county history, some claimed him as the silk hat's inventor. Starting in 1857, Thomas Appleton built church organs in Reading for seventeen years, thirty-five of them for Boston churches.
- A schoolhouse turned theaterReading's oldest public building is a two-room schoolhouse put up in 1854 where Walnut Street meets Summer Avenue. The Walnut Street School was moved to its present site in 1883 and held classes until 1944. Since 1962 it has been home to the Quannapowitt Players, a 150-seat community theater, and it joined the National Register in 1984.
