The Old Stone Church in West Boylston on Wachusett Reservoir.
The Old Stone Church was built in the early 1890s to replace the Baptist church which had been lost in a fire. Hardly 10 years later, it had to be abandoned for the reservoir. Because it was built of stone and was clearly going to be a scenic attraction, the commonwealth was persuaded by townsfolk to let it remain. It stands alone on a point of land by the side of the water as a reminder of what was lost to the reservoir.
The Old Stone Church Site is open to the public and can be visited from 1 hour before sunrise to 1 hour after sunset. It is located on Beaman Street.
