The Mystic and Malden Rivers - June 6, 2013 In 1844, Medford abolitionist and writer Lydia Maria Child described her journey across the Mystic to her grandfather's house in the poem "Over the River and Through the Woods." (Grandfather's House, restored by Tufts University in 1976, still stands near the river on South Street in Medford.) John Townsend Trowbridge's popular 1882 novel, The Tinkham Brother's Tide-Mill, had its setting along the river at a time when saltwater still reached the Mystic Lakes. In the 1861 poem "Paul Revere's Ride" by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, Paul Revere rides along the banks of the Mystic River. The river gave its name to the 2001 Dennis Lehane novel and its 2003 Academy Award winning Clint Eastwood film adaptation Mystic River. Wikipedia Neighboring Towns and Rivers Menu HOME . |
