Abandoned Mills 1946
New Ipswich Historical Society
September 1946
Hazel E. Balch took these photos in Highbridge in September 1946. They appear to be commercial buildings but not Waterloom Mill (which was brick) nor Brown’s Mill which was granite.
WWII Veterans
Hazel Moore compiled an album of New Ipswich WWII veterans for the New Ipswich Historical Society. As a prelude to our town’s Memorial Day celebration, we will feature a few photos each day.

William Jurian Kaula diary entry (tales of an artist abroad)
No entry on this date, maybe the April 16th “opera” was too much for him.
Thanks John for sharing those pictures. I have other stories about my times in Highbridge. Fun but sometimes dangerous.
