Almshouse - Town Farm - Assistance to the Poor
Historic Documents
Care for the poor, indigent, disabled and aged was an important service that towns were set up to do. These documents allow for an understanding of this work through the years, recording names of those helped, overseers, communications between towns and more. There are overlapping of years, but the data are not necessarily the same. Many years are missing.
