Nunckatesett River
For many years the Nunckatesett River played an important part in the social life of West Bridgewater people. Holidays and weekends brought people from miles around to the Canoe Club for canoeing, dancing and cracker-barrel conversation.
For a mere 25 cents, you could rent a canoe for the entire day and paddle the beautiful Nunckatesett. A six-mile trip up river to the "Nip" was the usual excursion and took most of the day. The paddle up the river was long and tiring, but the journey back was rather restful as the current would carry the canoes back down the river to the Canoe Club.

Join Us for a
Lecture on the Assassination of President Abraham Lincoln at the Old Bridgewater Historical Society
Sunday, February 17, at 1 p.m.
by Dr. Thomas R. Turner
Memorial Building 162 Howard St., West Bridgewater.
There are many theories as to why John Wilkes Booth shot Abraham Lincoln. Was he an insane actor, a dedicated Southern patriot backed by the Confederate government, a front man for Lincoln’s northern enemies the Radical Republicans, or was the murder a simple conspiracy? This program will examine some of the major theories surrounding the Lincoln assassination, revealing the circular motion involved as once discredited arguments slip in and out of favor.
This will be presented by Dr. Thomas R. Turner, Professor Emeritus at Bridgewater State University. Dr. Turner taught for 39 years in the History Department at the university, and is the author of “Beware the People Weeping: Public Opinion and the Assassination of Abraham Lincoln” and “The Assassination of Abraham Lincoln.” He also worked as a historian for the assassination movie “The Conspirator”, directed by Robert Redford and starring James McEvoy and Robin Wright. From 2011 to 2015, Prof. Turner was the Vice-Chair of the Massachusetts Civil War Sesquicentennial Commission.
The In case of inclement weather, the event will be held on February 24th at 1 p.m.
