This is a remote presentation offered by the Quabbin Visitor Center.
Before the Swift River Valley was cleared and flooded, 23,000 acres were taken along the Ware River in Barre, Oakham, Rutland, and Hubbardston in a project designed to supplement the waters of the new reservoir. 350 people lost their homes in this project and three villages were removed.
Join Maria Beiter-Tucker, Quabbin Visitor Center Manager, to learn more about the other lost
valley, why it was cleared and the role the Ware River Watershed plays in protecting the
water supply of 3 million Massachusetts residents.
