Come on now. There's no neon cactus or plastic cows around Winnie are there? Route 1 Saugus has really exploded since I was a youngster but it is still special. Home to the Kowloon Restaurant, Leaning Tower of Pizza, Kelly's Roast Beef (the Saugus store was built to be the Taj Mahal of Fast Food), the former Adventure Car Hop and so much more.
There are many of us former Saugonians on the forum and around the Lake but there is more. I do believe there is a
real connection between the two places. I vaguely remember a discussion on the forum regarding Cannonballs manufactured around the Lake made from Iron from the Saugus Ironworks.
Hopefully one of our historians can find some info on that connection.

Not a tourist destination?
Historic Parks, Saugus
Or see what the National Park Service has to say about that:
Saugus
Or teach your children about the Saugus Natural Treasure with this course:
