SHREWSBURY – The former Bonnie Dell Farm, a six-bed, six-bath Colonial at 945 Main St., is on the market for $1 million.
The farmstead was built in 1749 as the home of settler Ross Wyman, who had been born in Woburn.
Wyman is known for having made a gun for his near neighbor and New England militia commander Artemas Ward, who requested a firearm that could “pitch an Englishman over his head.”
Ward eventually became George Washington’s second-in-command. Wyman marched from Shrewsbury as the captain of its 16-man artillery unit that did its part at Lexington and Concord along with more than a hundred others from Shrewsbury.
