Here's a great model that other states should follow: Indiana's "Adopt a
Marker" program
 
http://www.in.gov/history/2349.htm
 
But, it's not what you think.  Instead of asking individuals or
organizations to pay money to the state government so that state employees
or contractors can repair the markers, the "Adopt a Marker" program in
Indiana  . . .
 
- Lists marker in need of repair and includes a recent photo of the marker
- Has instructions on how repairs should be made
- Shows before and after photos and credits the individuals or organizations
who made the repair
 
And it's all online.
 
Wonderful in every way, right?

Any chance of a program like that here in Massachusetts?
 
Any place online where one can see the list of markers in Massachusetts?
 
Best--
