[MassHistPres] Seeking Input: Municipal Responses to Tercentenary Markers

[Michael Ruderman]

We have one in Arlington that gets the date of the historic house it
commemorates wrong (
https://arlingtonhistorical.org/visit/jason-russell-house/). It used to be
out front, and was moved for geothermal sitework, and re-posted around
back. No, I don't think any approvals were sought or granted.

I'm a volunteer guide there and I point out the old marker. It tells us
what somebody knew in 1930 and what they considered significant then.
