Description
From 1896 through 1905 West Boylston endured the building of the Wachusett Reservoir and the flooding of its homes, mills and farms. When the Reservoir was completed and filled the Old Stone Church remained standing as the last remnant of the town which was once in the valley.
The church was destroyed by a fire in 1890. The present Old Stone Church was built on the same site and was scheduled for dedication on 1892, but once again badly damaged by fire. In 1902 the Metropolitan Water Board awarded the Baptist Society $22,500 for the loss of the church for the construction of the reservoir. The last Baptist service was held in April 1902. On April 13, 1973, the Old Stone Church was listed on the National Register of Historic Places. (#1143)
