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.

Of course took us a full day to recover from all this youthful excitement but so glad they were able to take advantage of this beautiful pool and the facilities!
