Looking westward from what is now Wigwam Hill, the landscape was unspoiled and undeveloped. No church spire could be seen pointing the way to heaven. Nearly a hundred years were to elapse before the first tall chimney would mark the beginnings of industry in the Blackstone Valley, industry that would spur the growth and development of the surrounding communities.
After the Industrial Revolution became established in the valley, the villages of Whitinsville, North Uxbridge, Uxbridge Center, the Woolen Mills, the long line of the Uxbridge Hills and the 3 rivers that wind through those towns could be seen to the west from the top of Wigwam Hill. A score of neat farm houses which dotted the countryside and the blue peaks of Wachusett and Monadnock mountains could also be seen in the distance.
Today (1904/05) very few people go here but, time was when the place was frequently visited and it is well worth a visit from anyone who enjoys looking at long stretches of landscape, immensity of blue sky, and a horizon far removed.”
