The Lyman School for Boys in Westborough MA was founded in 1846 and closed 1971. It was the first training school in the United States and held males 9 to 18 years of age. Every year approximately 300 boys "graduated" from the college campus looking school. Today, it remains a nationally registered historic place. However, there are new buildings on the grounds and we had to get permission from a security guard to roam around. We didn't go inside any of the buildings but the walk through was enough in itself.
