After one Desecrates, one Must Consecrate


 Before the dam was built to flood the valley and create the Wachusett reservoir, this stone church was built (1891) at the juncture of the Stillwater and Quinapoxet River, where they merged into the Nashua river.  Though homes, mills, and farms were lost to the purposeful flooding, the church still stands, and is now on the National Register of Historic Places.  It's one of the most photographed landmarks in the region, and for good reason, as if you look very closely to where Lizzie is pointing, the walls are filled with incredible, stirring art.
