The Ware River valley serves as the central artery for this portion of Worcester County, where industrial history and rural highlands meet. The settlement of Ware dominates the southern edge, while the villages of Gilbertville and Wheelwright track the river’s path northward toward Hardwick. This modern survey reveals a landscape deeply layered with local history, particularly through its numerous burial grounds. Genealogists will find many significant sites including the Hardwick Old Burying Ground Cem, Old Saint Williams Cem, and the Methodist Cem.
