Its Ma_hunter001 here,

Hi all, I was wondering where I could find old 1800 maps of Charlton /Leicester MA area or Central Ma??
I live in the Charlton area and I'm trying to find for old homesteads, foundations, or Churches for coins.

I already found a few historical maps of the Worcester area but the names are alittle different making it hard to read so I haven't been able to find areas near me. I'm alittle confused were to go , so if I would be able have any info on places in or around the Leicester/Charlton/Central Ma area it would be greatly appreciated!!

Any old pictures, postcards or websites with info would be awesome. I've been doing some research myself but more help would be great. thanks in advace.. Happy Hunting!! 8)
