West Brookfield - Conclusion

CONCLUSION TO SENIOR ESSAY

         In conclusion, I would like to say that the town of West Brookfield was a very interesting subject on which to write my senior essay. In the process of gathering information about this town, I learned many interesting facts, which I would never have known about otherwise.
         Anybody who happened to ride through this town might not realize its historical background, but if the same person could read this essay, I hope he might be able to get some idea of the major importance of history to this town.
