1. | The mile-long walk through some of the Town’s history begins and ends at the rotary where Routes 2 and 7 meet to the West of downtown. It is near this spot that a fort and stockade were built in 1756 by soldiers from Fort Massachusetts against French and Indian raids. They had built a dozen houses along Main Street around 1750 (house lots were drawn on behalf of the King, and settlers drew a lot and paid crowns to the King) and the settlement was named Fort Hoosac. The name was changed to Williamstown in 1765 when Colonel Ephraim Williams left money in his will for the founding of a free school with the mandate that the school and town were named after him. Fort Hoosac became Williamstown and the school became Williams College in 1793. Begin walking east along Main Street (Route 2), on the north side of the street past the Williams College ’62 Center for Theatre & Dance and the Faculty Club to Park Street. |
