Belmont by Belmont Society
Since the mid-nineteenth century, Belmont has made great strides in evolving from a rural stop on the Concord-to-Cambridge stagecoach route to a diverse community committed to preserving it roots while progressing into the new millennium. Whereas some local landmarks, such as Olive's Drug Store and Edgar's Florist, have been replaced in an effort to modernize, others, such as Underwood Pool and Mill Pond, remain. Belmont, a part of the Then & Now series, combines historic and modern photographs with engaging narrative to highlight lasting legacies and reveal changing times.
Belmont Historical Society: - Belmont is a photographic journey that chronicles the birth and development of the town s first hundred years. The Belmont Historical Society has compiled many rare and previously unpublished images from its archives and private collections to produce this interesting volume. Pictures depicting early settlers, such as the Wellington family whose farm occupied land now known as Belmont center, and businesses such as the Belmont Springs Water Company, which assisted in supplying vessels during World War II, portray the influence that Belmont has had on its surrounding communities. Come follow the continuing changes from modest beginnings to modern happenings, as agriculture gives way to suburbia in this fascinating pictorial history. Composed by the Belmont Historical Society, this volume spans the town s history from conception to centennial.
