Enter the Southwick Time Machine — a unique showcase of historical curiosities, intriguing true crime, engaging biographies, whimsical tales, and little-known stories from Southwick, Massachusetts, and the surrounding area. Our nonfiction short stories reveal what the textbooks left out.
A comprehensive and continually growing archive of Southwick, Massachusetts history, devoted to sharing the rare, hidden, and untold stories that shaped the town.
Every article is carefully researched, independently written, and free to read. Producing these stories takes countless hours and a lot of money — from digging through old records and archives to writing, editing, and preserving every detail. I do it because local history matters and because there's always more to uncover.
Without community support, stories like these simply can't continue to exist.
