The Town of New Salem was affected greatly by the construction of the Quabbin Reservoir, one of the largest man-made water supplies servicing the drinking water for nearly half of Massachusetts. Much of the town is off-limits wilderness controlled by the Department of Conservation and Recreation but the people of New Salem are next door to 39 square miles of reservoir on 81,000 acres of reservation land for fishing, hiking, birdwatching, hunting, biking, and other outdoor activities. New Salem lies at the southeastern corner of Franklin County and is the largest town in the county. Elementary students attend Swift River School and middle and high school students attend Mahar Regional School District.
