Exploring the Abandoned town of Dana Massachusetts 1938 ghost town
People were made to leave the town so the could flood it and build the Reservoir but they didn't flood the entire town. We took the walk down the old main road to see what this old town looked like with no buildings or people. What a shame they moved and destroyed all these old buildings, cleared the people out but never actually flooded a majority of the town.
Formed from parts of Petersham, Greenwich, and Hardwick, it was incorporated in 1801. The town was named for Massachusetts statesman Francis Dana. The town was disincorporated on April 28, 1938, as part of the creation of the Quabbin Reservoir. Upon disincorporation, all of the town was returned to the adjacent town of Petersham. The majority of the land of the former town is still above water.
As with the nearby town of Prescott, after the disincorporation, houses were moved or razed, but cellar holes remain. In the town center (which is still somewhat maintained by the Mass DOC and Recreation), a stone marker has been installed, which reads: "SITE OF DANA COMMON 1801-1938 To all those who sacrificed their homes and way of life. The common and a 68-acre area encompassing the former town center has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
