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.

For now we are enjoying the wonderful Labor Day holiday picking blackberries and making pie and jam and getting some much needed exercise!
