Welcome to the official home page of the historic town of Warwick, Massachusetts! I hope this page will help visitors locate information about our town and its history and attractions, as well as serve our townspeople as a source of helpful information and an electronic Town Hall.
This site's purpose is not to compete with our wonderful town Newsletter (August issue) or the Warwick-L, but rather to supplement them, and provide more town documents than the List or Newsletter can easily handle.
Thanks,
Ed Lemon, Webmaster

I've started a section on the "About Warwick" page where you will find stories and poems by residents of Warwick about Warwick subjects. The first selections include a tall tale by Jack Cadwell about the Devil's Washbowl, and a poem by Larry (Guy) Carey about the Indian Caves.
A joint grant for $1,100,000 was awarded to the towns of Warwick, Leverett, Shutesbury, and Whately. The regional project for the towns will allow for health and safety improvements to 23 homes in rural Franklin County. Warwick will also use the funding to rehabilitate six units in the town. Link to the entire list. If you are interested in being considered for one of these loans, go here.
