Before leaving Hingham I finally was able to get a picture of this sign. Massachusetts has one for each of their towns and it's such a kick to drive from one town to another and see this sign with date of settlement started. Hard to get pictures because you don't know where the town line begins and there is no place to pull over for a quick stop and picture. It's a bummer. On this one I was lucky enough after a month to be driving towards sign and 1st at stoplight with camera next to me. ha! All these towns are so historic and have some wonderful history. Too bad so many have been neglected. Roads are terrible in most places and some are really run down while others thrive.. just like anywhere. Just interesting observations. I was taken so much with Hingham because we lived there for 5 weeks and it was so CLEAN! Loved the manicured yards and over 1800 historic homes and some still in residence of 13 generations! That is something in this young country with so littl
One of the great things about the town of Lexington is every thing here is "horsey"... they have a wonderful small park in town that celebrates the Thoroughbred horses from the beginning.. there are placque along the park that explain various peoples role in horse racing since the beginning of our country dating back as far as Geo. Washington. A few others are Bing Crosby, Queen Elizabeth, Samuel D Riddle, Sam Hildreth and many, many more. I is a pretty little park and since it was a nice day quite a number of folks out enjoying the day! Fun, free thing to do and interesting to boot!
