Other Significant Historical Sites in Templeton

Besides Templeton Common Historic District are great importance for the local history and architecture also Brooks Village in western side of town, South Templeton, Otter River Corridor and Templeton Developmental Center.

Brooks Village was the center of activity of the western part of Templeton and a site of John Brook's Tavern which was also a stop for stagecoaches but unfortunately does not stand anymore. Neither exist anymore the boot factory owned by Jonathan Bowker and Merrick Ainsworth which burned down in 1862. However, besides the boot factory and tavern Brooks Village changed very little from the 19th century and is an excellent opportunity to revive the Templeton's appearance in the 19th century.

South Templeton is notable for its landscape and many farms which retained much of its original rural character despite the agricultural progress in the 20th century, while the Otter River Corridor (Otter River, East Templeton and Baldwinville) is worth visiting for its industrial heritage although many of factories and mills do not exist anymore.

Templeton Developmental Center originally known as Templeton Farm Colony was built on a top of Norcross Hill in the early 20th century. Today it serves as a facility for individuals with mental retardation, however, its historical structures are great value for history of hospitals in US and was for that reason added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1994.
