[MassHistPres] Commemorative state highway signs c.1930

[chris kennedy]

To all;
	The Northampton Historical Commission is researching, for the  
purpose of restoration, a Mass DOT highway sign erected c. 1930 which  
was part of a larger state project to provide highway markers that  
denoted historical events along well traveled highways.  Does any  
list member know the history of this program, commemorating the 300th  
anniversary of the state.  Specifically; is there a record in any  
state archive that details the original locations of these state  
signs and what the content would have denoted?  Has anyone gone  
through the same process as we?  While traditionally these signs were  
aluminum with raised letters, are sign is of plywood.  Any help or  
insight would be appreciated.  Thanks,
