south for half a block on Concord Road and turn left into the Wadsworth
Cemetery and its monument. It was here that militiamen under Captain Samuel
Wadsworth were attacked by a thousand braves under the personal command of King Philip
on April 21, 1676. Wadsworth and 29 of his soldiers were killed when the
Indians set the woods on fire. Most of the fighting took place on the slopes
of Green Hill to the north. The survivors escaped to Noyes Mill in Mill
Village under the cover of darkness. |
