Exploring Bancroft Tower CASTLE in Worcester, Massachusetts - WE GOT INSIDE
Bancroft Tower looks like it was built hundreds of years ago but it was actually built in 1900 by a man named Stephen Salisbury III in honor of his father's friend George Bancroft. The tower was owned by Salisbury until he passed away in 1907 and the tower was handed over to the Worcester Art Museum. In 1912 the art museum donated the tower to the Worcester Parts Department.

ABANDONED Illuminati Castle - The Old Stone Church in West Boylston , Massachusetts
ABANDONED Illuminati Castle - The Old Stone Church in West Boylston , Massachusetts ( FOUND Satanic Ritual )
Lets go explore the Old Stone Church in West Boylston, Massachusetts!
Here is the history according to the bulletin board at the park:
Self Guided Tour: Old Stone Church
The site of the Old Stone Church, on the shoreline of the Wachusett Reservoir, serves as a monument to thousands of buildings that were removed from the Nashua River Valley to create the reservoir. The church was the only building that was allowed to remain because of its stone construction. All other wooden structures were removed because they could degrade the quality of the drinking water.
The Old Stone Church was a Baptist church built in 1892. It was built as a replacement for the wooden Baptist church that was destroyed by fire two years earlier. The Metropolitan Water Board bought the church from the Baptist Society in 1897. The church still held regular services until 1902 when the state took over the building. All of the interior items, as well as the stained glass windows and church bell, were moved to the new Baptist church location on Church Street in the center of West Boylston. This building remained the Baptist Church until the Freemasons took control of it in 1972. Today, the interior of the building still resembles the Old Stone Church.
The Old Stone Church was declared a National Historical Site in 1973; however by 1975 the roof and major portions of the walls had collapsed. The church was rebuilt over the next few years to replicate the original as much as possible at the cost of $181,000.00. The church was rededicated in 1983 s part of the town of West Boylston's 175th Anniversary.
The Old Stone Church today serves as a popular tourist attraction where visitors come to picnic, take photographs, fish, or simply enjoy the scenic value of the site. Bald Eagles, Common Loons, and several species of ducks can be viewed at the church.

Bancroft Castle - Groton, Massachusetts
Me and a few of my cousins decided to go hiking up at Bancroft Castle! We had a ton of fun climbing the walls and walking around. Such a nice day too!!!
From Wikipedia
Bancroft built the structure as a gift for his wife. He originally intended it as a bungalow to accompany a larger castle-like house, but lost funding before the additions could be realized.
In 1918, physician Harold Ayres purchased the bungalow and renovated it into a private sanitarium.
During the 1930s, the Groton Hunt Club used the bungalow for entertainment. During a July 4 fireworks celebration in 1932, the bungalow caught fire - leaving only the exterior stone walls intact.

Bancroft Castle Groton Masachusetts
Bancroft's castle was built by General William Bancroft in 1906 atop Gibbet Hill in Groton, Massachusetts.
This was to be his retirement home.
Beginning with a modest bungalow, he planned to add a castle-like mansion and a stable, but ran out of money before the project was complete.
Around 1918 the property was sold to Harold Ayres, a prominent physician who turned the bungalow into a private sanitarium.
The Groton Hunt Club uses the bungalow for fox-hunting parties, dinners, dances and nature outings. In 1932 careless fireworks are blamed for a fire that destroyed most of the bungalow, leaving only the remains of a stone observation tower intact.
Since 2000, the castle and trails became part of Groton's protected open space and was opened to the public.
