Lyman School for Boys was established as the Massachusetts State Reform School by Chapter 165 of the Acts of 1847, as the first state-operated reform school in the country. The new campus was the first in the state system to be developed on the dispersed cottage plan. In 1969, Massachusetts passed reform legislation, and in 1971 all the state reform schools were closed, their programs replaced by community-based alternatives. Source: ( visit link)
