Main Road, Watering Trough in the Gorge Area, Granville, Massachusetts
A 1994 letter from Wilhelmina Tryon to Adeline Hiers with a photocopy of a photograph showing the old watering trough that was located on the gorge section of Main Road.
The letter refers to Wilhelmina's donation of her photo collection to the Historical Room at the Granville Library. Many of those photos comprise the Granville History online digital collection.

Trouble In The Gorge, circa 1916
A touring car is pulled over to the side of the road through Granville Gorge (now Main Road / Route 57). Occupants are unidentified but the photo came from the Clark family. Boy sitting on the running board may be Richard Clark. The Clarks lived on Main Road (431, we believe) in the late 1800's and early 1900's.
Dating of the photo is based on the design of Massachusetts license plates in 1916.
Circa 1916
