Historic foundation unearthed

November 18, 2022 By Deborah Anderson, Express Staff

Just 50 feet from Winnetuxet Road, Plympton, near the bank of the Winnetuxet River, this huge foundation was excavated to reveal the size of the building project.  The barn was part of a complex that included Blanchard’s Sawmill, a poultry shed, and dairy barn, built in 1897.  Also unearthed was this cast iron cylinder with an opening at each end.  Do you know what it is?  Email deb@whphexpress.com. See page 6 for more about the old barn through the words of Eugene Wright.. Photos by Sandi Neumeister
