I’ve read this book on it (should be in local bookstores too) but no you’d need to know someone to gain access

The Skull Society building at WPI has some history behind it too.

That’s Goddard’s lab, and prior to that, the electromagnetic library/lab. Goddard blew up stuff in Salisbury and was relocated because of the noise and obvious hazards. It’s not accessible to the public but by some streak of luck I got a chance to see the inside as a student over 20 years ago. Just happened to meet the right people, I guess. Not much to see but I wish they’d do something with it for historical purposes. It was just a frat-style hangout for Skulls with a sofa and some junk when I saw it. It connects to some tunnels that are probably pretty rough at this point.

Bathsheba Spooner? Yikes what a story.

Spooner Well in the Brookfields? I live nearby in Warren and I believe I've been to this place.

Not much to see, the Spooner well is surrounded by poison ivy. Elm Hill farm is on the same road, it's where Elsie the Borden cow was born.
