Framingham Views

Here are a couple of photos, courtesy of Walter Lech, showing floodwaters going over the Saxonville falls, probably taken after the Hurricane of 1938 which flooded much of New England.

First, this view of the waterfalls which was Framingham’s version of Niagara, and probably powered the Mill. The second photo from the opposite direction. Compare the volume of water to the way it looks today. This must have been a pretty awesome sight back then.
