Days 26 & 27: Heading for Charlton

The next two days and four miles take me into Charlton, Massachusetts. I'll be stopping at 100 Worcester Rd in Charlton, where there is a business called Innerenewal Massage & Integrated Therapy.

This stretch of road, much like the last few sections, hasn't much to distinguish it. But we are getting into some hillier terrain, as you can see from the terrain version of the Google map, below.

Charlton is an old town, as are the others along this route. It's fairly small--only about 13,000 people, most of whom are white with a median income of around $90,000. It was first settled in 1735 as a part of Oxford. It became its own town in 1775. It's famous for being the site of Grizzly Adams' grave, and for its library that notoriously banned one of Mark Twain's books, Eve's Diary, in 1906, as being indecent because of its illustrations: drawings of the unclothed Eve and her husband, Adam.

Unfortunately, US-20 does not pass through the historic districts of the town, but I shall continue on nonetheless, until I reach Sturbridge, which may proved more interesting. But for now, I'll rest at the site of Innerenewal Massage Therapy.
