Southwick Historical Society - Southwick, MA - Historical Society Headquarters on Waymarking.com

The Southwick Historical Society, Inc. was created in 1971 by a group of interested citizens. Since that time we have purchased two acres of land at 86 and 88 College Highway which has become the Society’s home, housing both the Joseph Moore House and the Charles J. Gillett Cigar Factory. The Moore House was built in 1751 by Joseph Moore who later served and died in the American Revolution. This home, the last known house in the Massachusetts – Connecticut state line “jog,” was located in four towns, three counties, two states and two colonies.

The newly preserved Charles Gillett Cigar Factory was built in 1872 and is the only remaining building of its type in the Connecticut River Valley which has been known for decades for the quality of its tobacco. Charles J. Gillett stored tobacco and manufactured cigars from this factory. The Gillett cigars were sold under various names and shipped around the country.
