Markers (Pleun Bouricius)
Dear Michael —
I’ve long been fascinated by the Mass Tercentenary markers.
Many of them express problematic interpretations of the Commonwealth’s history, but they are important evidence of 1930s commemoration.
I would hope that there would be a statewide response to these historic commemorations rather than a town-by-town approach.
I’m not sure how that could be accomplished, but it would be a really interesting project.
Has there been a statewide inventory of those plaques? Is there a history of the project?
With apologies for not really answering your question
Best,
Martha
