Book excerpt: Excerpt from Exercises at the Unveiling of the Boulder Marking the Site of the First House Erected in Leominster, 1725: 1725 1910 Friends and Citizens of Leominster: We have gathered here today to commemorate the building of the first house in Leominster and to honor those who built better than they knew in the early days of pioneer life and frontier settlement. One hundred and eighty-five years ago it was no easy task to build a house, for everything had to be done in a primitive way and it took courage and perseverance to accomplish even a humble habitation. Fifteen years later, one hundred and seventy years ago today, the town was incorporated, another important event in its history. This was the natural order of the growing settlement when it realized the importance of a more united government. Leominster has had an honorable record from the beginning and the citizens of today should feel proud of her growth and of the men who have promoted it. With the co-operation of Mr. John Yule, who designed and made it we plant here a monument, that will tell the story of Leominster's beginning to the future generations. Without further remarks I welcome you all most heartily in behalf of the Leominster Historical Society to the remaining exercises of the day.
