[MassHistPres] Fwd: Commemorative state highway signs c.1930

[GLFJL at aol.com]

These markers were a project of the Massachusetts Bay Colony Tercentenary 
Commission.


For a 2006 Boston Globe newspaper article on the Tercentenary Commission 
markers in Essex County see:

The Tercentenary Commission marker at the Hassanamesit Nipmuc Nation 
reservation in Grafton has been refurbished within the past two to three years but 
even the Nipmuc Nation officials aren't sure by whom -- not by the town, maybe by 
Mass Highway. 

And the Nipmuc Nation Reservation is having an Open House from 12:00 Noon to 
4:00 PM this Sunday as part of the Blackstone Valley Heritage Homecoming and 
Footsteps in History program.
