On This Day in History:
1787 – The newly activated Massachusetts militia force of 4,400 men led by General Benjamin Lincoln assembles to combat rebels led by Daniel Shays in his unsuccessful attempt to seize weaponry from the armory in Springfield and overthrow the government. Daniel Shays, a Revolutionary War veteran, led the uprising against perceived economic and civil rights injustices. The events of the rebellion affected debates at the U.S. Constitutional Convention, and ultimately the shape of the new government.

Our Tully Lake is located on the East Branch of the Tully River in Royalston, Mass., is a part of our (the Army Corps of Engineers) network of flood risk management dams on tributaries of the Connecticut River (including sister dam Birch Hill Dam).
