Founded as part of Rowley in 1639, Georgetown has long been proud to stand alone as an inde-pendent, self-sufficient town with a unique history.

Early settlers found rich pasture land in the area of Penn Brook, near Elm Street and Union Cem-etery. Homes and a village quickly sprang up along this corridor. It became known as the West Parish of Rowley, but by 1838, the village had created its own identity and was witnessing a population boom. Residents successfully petitioned to split off as a separate town.

By then, industry was beginning to thrive in the once-agricultural town, with more than a dozen mills producing a variety of products. And, like other villages in the area, shoemaking became a lucrative trade that employed many people in several factories around town, as well as some who built small shoe shops in their yards.

Georgetown’s gradual growth saw another boom in the mid-1800s, when a rail line was laid through the town and Georgetown became a stop on the new mass-transit sys-tem. The old line has long since been abandoned, but its route can be seen clearly and is being considered as the path of a rail trail that will link Georgetown to Newburyport.

Georgetown has long been proud of its independent nature. Its school system has remained independent, unlike other towns in the area; its historic downtown has steadily expanded over the years; and its social and service organiza-tions continue to thrive. No won-der it is one of the fastest-growing towns in the region, according to the latest U.S. Census.

BROCKLEBANK MUSEUM,GEORGETOWN HISTORICAL SOCIETY108 East Main Street

Open: every Sunday from 2 to 5 p.m., July through Columbus Day; $5 for adults/$3 for seniors and students

The historical society’s property con-tains several buildings, chief among them the Brocklebank-Nelson-Beecher house, believed to have been built in the late 1600s. The land on which the house stands was granted in 1661 to Samuel Brocklebank, a surveyor who had come from England to Rowley as a child in 1638. The house remained in the Brocklebank family until 1754, when it was acquired by Dudley Tyler for use as a tavern.

The museum house contains numer-ous artifacts related to Georgetown’s history, including the “Haunted Meal Chest,” which gained its unearthly repu-tation from its alleged ghostly movement whenever a servant girl’s dress brushed

against it. The phenomenon lasted only a few weeks but made a lasting impression on all who witnessed it. Visitors can look down through a viewing panel to the cellar where a secret “slave hole” was built dur-ing the days of the Underground Railroad. This room is believed to have been con-structed by the Rev. Charles Beecher who was a fervent abolitionist. Also on display is an original slave collar similar to those worn by captured runaway slaves.

GOODRICH MASSACRE SITEOn Oct. 23, 1692, the only

Indian raid in what is now Georgetown occurred. Ben-jamin Goodrich, his wife and two daughters were killed, and a third daughter was taken captive. A sign marks the site.

ERIE 4 ENGINEErie 4 fire company,

formed in 1854, claims to be the oldest private fire brigade in the nation. Its name derives from its pump engine, a used Hunneman Hand Tub that was purchased by the men of the com-pany. The name Erie No. 3 was painted on the hand tub, and it was decided to adopt the name, and as Erie was the fourth owner, to call both the hand tub and the association the Erie No. 4.

The hand tub is on display next to the fire station, in a building with a large glass wall that allows the engine to be viewed at all times of the day and night.

Erie 4 is a privately owned, nonprofit corporation and serves Georgetown as one of its two fire engine companies. Its upstairs hall is available for rentals.
