Wendell

 

Wendell was incorporated in 1781. During that time, residents were very dependent on farming for their livelihoods. They grew grain and flax and raised cattle, sheep, and swine. In the winter, they made shingles, broom handles, and staves. Logging was also a large industry and is still today due to the extensive forest in Wendell.

Wendell is one of the hilltowns of eastern Franklin County. It is located south of Erving and east of Montague and State Route 2 runs along its northern border. The town has two post offices and therefore two zip codes.

Wendell celebrates Old Home Day in August in the center of town. This festival draws residents together for local music, crafts, games, and food. Vendors set up to sell maple syrup, flowers, vegetables, jewelry and other food and crafts. There is also a special celebration to recognize Wendell’s residents’ contributions throughout the year.

Community Garden is approximately an acre of fertile soil in a sunny field at the Town Office Building.  Individual garden plots are available to Wendell residents for free.  However, gardeners are expected to volunteer for several hours per growing season to help keep the “community” parts of the garden (paths, compost piles, etc.) maintained.
