Home of one of the few remaining covered bridges in Massachusetts, Conway
was first settled in 1760 and incorporated in 1767. The town is a small
rural community which was named in honor of General Henry Conway, who
supported the repeal of the Stamp Act in Parliament.
Conway has an abundant water supply, which provided power for grist and saw
mills and a number of tanneries in its early days. By the 19th century, a
dam had created a reservoir supporting several woolen and broadcloth mills
along the South River. Unfortunately, in 1869 the dam burst, sweeping away
these largest industries in town.
Modern Conway boasts a number of maple sugar houses and is the site of the
Conway State Forest and South River State Forest, retaining an unspoiled
landscape loved by the residents of the town. One of the community's most
famous former residents was Marshall Field, the developer of the nationally
known Marshall Field Department Store in Chicago. Born and brought up in
Conway, Fields donated Memorial Library to the town in honor of his
parents. An active Historical Society preserves the town's past for its
future citizens.
Western Massachusetts, bordered by Ashfield on the west, Goshen and Williamsburg
on the southwest and south, Whately on the southeast, Deerfield on the east, and
Shelburne and Buckland on the north and northwest. Conway is 14 miles south of
Greenfield and 102 miles northwest of Boston.
