Historic scene in Old Hadley and General Goffe’s aid
Old Hadley in 1675 faced a surprise Indian attack during worship. An unknown elder delivered orders that routed the attackers, later identified as General William Goffe, one of Charles II’s regicides, who hid with Pastor John Russel before his death. A state road now passes the landmark of this dramatic defense.
