Leaving Toy Town for Downtown Athol

Winchendon earned its "Toy Town" nickname from the Converse Toy & Woodware Company, founded in the 1870s by Morton E. Converse and once billed as the largest wooden-toy factory in the world, producing rocking horses, doll furniture, drums, and building blocks by the trainload. That heritage still greets visitors: the giant Toy Town Horse — the original was built in 1914 from some 3,200 feet of pine as a float for the town's 150th anniversary, and today a replica named "Clyde" stands under a covered pavilion near the town center. On the town's northern edge, Winchendon shares Lake Monomonac with Rindge, New Hampshire, a reminder of just how close the state line runs. From the common, Route 202 heads south through Phillipston and into Athol, connecting to Route 32 and dropping you at 243 Main Street in under twenty minutes.
