I started my sightseeing today in the town of Millville, the southernmost town in the 4th Circle. My first destination was the Millville Town Hall at 8 Central Street. There, I saw the small historic Udor Tower, which was undergoing repairs, and the Samuel Thompson's Gristmill Stone from 1727.

The only other place that was of interest here in Millville was the Millville Memorial Park at 196 Main Street, which has a few nice war memorials.
From here, it was on to the town of Blackstone. The first place I passed by was a small park on the corner of Butler Street and County Street, which had a small pavilion and a few memorials. There were a few trees here with their leaves all red that I decided to capture as well.
The next place I passed by was Monument Square on the corner of Bridge Street and Canal Street. I heard the roar of a waterfall nearby on the
Blackstone River, so I went to the Canal Street Bridge to take a few pictures of the river.

There were other places I visited in Blackstone before heading for Bellingham, shown below.
In order to get to Bellingham, I had to pass through the town of Woonsocket, Rhode Island. Although this town will not be covered in my blog, as I passed through the town, I still saw two churches of interest and captured them.
Finally, I reached Bellingham, where the first place I passed by was Crook's Corner, a nice little park on the corner of Pulaski Boulevard and South Main Street.
Next, I headed to Arcand Park, a small park on 156 Lake Street with a beach on the shores of Jenks Reservoir.
I visited a few other water bodies in Bellingham, shown below.

One other interesting place in Bellingham was the town common on the corner of Mendon Street and North Main Street. This is a nice looking park with a few war memorials and recreational facilities.
There were other places of interest I visited in Bellingham before heading for Medway.
 |
Bellingham Town Hall,
10 Mechanic Street |
The first place I visited in Medway was the
Betania II Marian Center. This is an interesting facility designed specifically for Christian retreats, with a very serene feel to it.
The next place I went to was the Idyllbrook Park at the end of Wards Lane. There is a baseball field here, and a guy was flying a kite here as well.
The route I took to get to Chicken Brook is highlighted below in pink.
The view of Chicken Brook was not that great however, and the end of the path was pretty overgrown as well.
The next place I went to was Choate Park on the end of Oak Street after the junction with Mechanic Street. The route I took is highlighted below.
The park is a nice place, where I saw a father and son team fishing on the bridge at the far end of the park, and there is a beach as well.
I also tried to check out the pond on Deerfield Road, but there was not much to see here. After this, I was feeling a little hungry, so I headed to
Mickey Cassidy's in the same town for a bit of brunch. I had the Irish Breakfast, which has blood pudding in addition to poached eggs, tomatoes, sausages, butter toast and baked beans.
After my filling meal, I finished up Medway by visiting a few other interesting buildings in town.

Next, I went to
Dean College. The main building in the center of the campus is really beautiful, as can be seen from the pictures I took below.
Nearby is the
Franklin Public Library, which has a statue of Benjamin Franklin at its doorstep.
Other places I visited in Franklin today follow.

Chilson Beach/Beaver Pond,
450 Beaver Street |

Done with Franklin, Wrentham was next. With the day drawing to a close, I decided to check out a few buildings in town. This town is known for its factory outlet shopping mall at the
Wrentham Village Premium Outlets.

| Helen Keller Memorial |
With that it became too dark to take any more pictures, so I decided to hang up my boots for today.
