#alwaysreadtheplaque By the time we got to #Woodstock....... a few years back we did a #Catskills road trip from Sleepy Hollow to the Finger Lakes to Cooperstown and a lot inbetween. One stop was the site of Woodstock which has a big #historicmarker but if you poke around a bit you’ll also find the last bit of #YasgurFarm still owned by the family. #ontheroad #upstateny #woodstock50 #woodstock50thanniversary (at Yasgur's Farm) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1OOX7Hl4Jh/?igshid=ea0la3gguims

#AlwaysReadthePlaque “To those citizens of the United States who at the call of humanity laid aside their vocations to become soldiers in the Grand Army of Liberty. This memorial is dedicated 1918” . . . #HistoricMarker at the “Sweetheart Memorial” at #FortDevens in Ayer, MA. Established in September of 1917, the original #CampDevens served as training grounds for American soldiers mobilizing for #WorldWar1. The Sweetheart Memorial was a popular spot for couples to say goodbye before shipping out. It’s said the wall was constructed from rocks brought by wives and girlfriends from all over who made their way to see the men off. #newengland_igers #massachusetts_igers #igersnewengland #instahistory #historical #ww1 #worldwarone (at Fort Devens) https://www.instagram.com/p/BqBXnAWAv5E/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1ijjisr61ejs8

The #TreeofKnowldege historic marker can be found at a crossroads in the #Tarklin area of Duxbury. . From the late 17th Century on, the #postalroute from #Boston to Plymouth diverged at this corner and many riders eager to reach their destination, and not wanting to make to 2 mile detour into Duxbury would leave postage nailed to an old oak tree at this spot. Over time the tree would earn the nickname the “Tree of Knowledge” as this is where Duxbury residents would receive news from the outside world. According to legend a great storm passed through one night and lightning struck the great oak with such force it shook the whole neighborhood. . Following the destruction of the oak, an elderly resident of the neighborhood received a prophetic dream that the spot of the oak must always be marked- lest the town be cursed. Generation after generation held fast to this tradition keeping some kind of signage at the crossroads and in 1937 this concrete #historicmarker was laid. Passing by this weekend it looks like some are leaving tokens of their visits. #igersnewengland #usps #massachusetts_igers #postoffice #postalservice #alwaysreadtheplaque #historicmarker (at Duxbury, Massachusetts) https://www.instagram.com/p/CD_1FoZFsSZ/?igshid=8ql8fy83spvc
