Hopedale, 1890s This is part of a map drawn sometime between 1887 and 1898. The road that crosses the river near the bottom is Thwing Street. The river between Route 16 (Main Street on this map) and the area at the bottom of the map was quite different than it is now. The dam for the mill was removed long ago and now we see just a narrow river where the millpond once was. Click here to see a photo of what remains of one wall of the mill foundation.
