Wooded streets historic architecture in Berkeley
Berkeley is a wooded Cumberland suburb with access to retail, dining and green spaces. “Cumberland’s scenery is beautiful, and a lot of people spend time enjoying the parks,” says Vivian K. Humphrey, an agent with Exit Realty Re-Imagined who has sold homes in Cumberland. “It’s a 10-minute drive to the city, so it’s a very easy commute. People also enjoy the history.” The historic district was constructed in the late 1800s by the Lonsdale Company. The original village included a textile mill complex and housing for the workers. The town also played a part in the New England Textile Strike of 1922. Much of that era's architecture remains.

Major Cumberland employers and community resources
The Okonite Company has a nearby manufacturing plant in Ashton that employs 130 people. The plant opened in 2015 and produces insulated power cables. The area is also home to Cumberland Quarry, which produces stone, sand and gravel products. The quarry runs along a densely wooded reserve that blocks the blast noises from reaching the majority of Ashton homes. Lynne Daigneault, an administrative assistant at the Cumberland Public Library, says that homeowners near the quarry can hear the blasts, which are only set off during daylight hours. “We can feel it from the library. But it's not a constant thing. It barely happens even once a day,” Daigneault says. The building in which the library is now based was completed in 1928 by Trappists, an order of monks who constructed it as a monastery.
The library now sits on 481 acres of public woodland that locals use for hiking, picnics and outdoor events. Locals refer to this green space simply as the “Monastery.” The area includes a playground as well as a senior center, which provides both educational and recreational opportunities for older citizens. The land is also home to Nine Men’s Misery, a stone war memorial erected in 1676 for nine Plymouth colonists killed during King Phillip’s War. The Lincoln Times has referred to the site as one of the oldest war memorials in the United States.
