Buckland, Massachusetts, USA - Mary Lyon House

Buckland, Franklin, Massachusetts, USA

Buckland was first settled in 1742 as "No Town", as it was not currently part of either the village of Charlemont or Ashfield, which the land belonged to as one large town. A sawmill was set up that year by Othneil Taylor and Asaph White, and eventually settlement occurred.
