That picture Ron Scott posted of the page of “What Ever Happened to the Little Gun” prompted me to take a little ride about 3 miles west of my house in Andover to where the “Harnden farmhouse” once stood on the “Boston to Lowell” road (now route 38) just above the bridge (over the Shawsheen River in Tewksbury. MA). The Harnden farmhouse has long since been razed and the Tewksbury Country Club now stands on the former Harnden property. Route 38 bears no resemblance to the “Boston to Lowell road” these days either. In my picture the Shawsheen River bridge is just beyond the camera’s view around a bit to the right.
