[MassHistPres] Commemorative state highway signs c.1930

[Sullivan, Charles M.]

The Tercentenary markers are now the responsibility of the divisional
offices of Mass Highways. Has anyone had any luck getting the state to
restore them?

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,

chris kennedy
