Wilbraham: A Journey Through History

By: David F. Bourcier

Delving into Wilbraham’s rich history brings the past vividly to life, forging a connection between today’s residents and the early settlers who shaped the town’s legacy. From the enduring mystery of Wilbraham’s Lost Burying Grounds to the transformation of an ancient footpath in From the Bay Path to Boston Road: The Evolution of Route 20, each story offers a window into the town’s remarkable journey. In The Thunderbolt’s Fall, the daring flight of Lt. Russel D. Lynn unfolds high above the hills of Wilbraham, while The Coffin Door of New England unlocks a curious piece of regional folklore. Historian David Bourcier masterfully weaves these and many other tales together, tracing Wilbraham’s evolution from its early identity as Springfield Mountain to the vibrant community it has become today.
