It all began with a "Boston Globe" article touting the bucolic loveliness of the sleepy town of Charlton. Since 1755, generations of farming families had been left in Edenic seclusion. Cows outnumbered citizens, horse-n-buggies ruled the roads and one-room schoolhouses brought together children of all ages. Suddenly, thousands of city dwellers descended on the peaceful community, looking for the farm life. "Charlton: Picturing Change" chronicles a century marked by tremendous trials, triumphs and transitions. Through never-before-seen images, become witness to a rapidly vanishing rural way of life. Authors William O. Hultgren and Quentin R. Kuehl lovingly document how a town rooted in tradition came to proudly embrace not only its own history, but also the new neighbors who came seeking a slice of home.
