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. The nonfiction short stories here reveal what the textbooks left out.
A growing archive devoted to sharing the rare, hidden, and untold stories that shaped the town.
Every story is carefully researched and made available to readers — but uncovering and preserving local history takes time, money, and dedication. The Southwick Time Machine is reader-supported, sustained by a few supporters and the author's own investment.
Readers can enjoy a limited number of premium or in-depth stories before being asked to support the archive. Most stories on the Southwick Time Machine will always remain free to read.
Your support helps transform this passion project into a sustainable community archive. Without reader backing, these stories will disappear. Premium stories and continued access help fund the research and preservation of this archive. Even a small contribution helps uncover and preserve these hidden histories for the community.
Dive in. Explore. Support our local history.
New stories are always being added, so check back often.
