The Middlesex canal.
this sketch in its original form appeared in the Bay State Monthly, November, 1884.
as it now stands it was read before the Medford Historical Society in January, 1897.
authorities consulted: complete records of the corporation, in the county Commissioners' office at Cambridge; Historical sketch of the Middlesex canal, by Caleb Eddy, 1843: Amory's life of Governor Sullivan, 1859. by Lorin L. Dame, D. S.
The curious traveller may still trace with little difficulty the line of the old Middlesex canal, with here and there a break, from the basin at Charlestown to its junction with the Merrimac at Middlesex Village.
Like an accusing ghost, it never strays far from the Boston & Lowell railroad, to which it owes its untimely end. At Medford the Woburn sewer runs along one portion of its bed, the Mystic water-pipes another.
The tow-path, at one point, marks the course of the defunct Mystic Valley railroad; at others it has been metamorphosed into sections of
