History Crossing Ahead – New I-91 Underpass Sign Installed

In July 2017, I helped our team to put up a new sign marking the underpass at I91 in Springfield, VT.  The old sign had rotted some years ago and finally fell over to become part of the earth’s own history (soil).  It was definitely in need of replacement.  Our Secretary, Dale, took it upon himself to see that the sign got made.  Then our fearless leader, Jim Rowe, got a pile of us together to hike in and install it.  What is the history behind this sign?  Well, the state built the underpass in 1965 to preserve that section of the Crown Point Road and allow people to continue to (safely) walk it.  Shows how important this historical road was, and still is.

Other outings last year included a bus trip to Strawbery Banke as well as a long hike to explore a section of Sudbury that included Willowbrook Cemetery, Miller Spring, and Cold Spring.  We have been discussing LIDAR maps and how they pertain to tracing the Crown Point Road.    Also, marking the point of origin for 29 cannons haulted from Crown Point to Boston in 1775-1776, there was a dedication of a new bronze plaque up at Crown Point, NY at the Crown Point State Historical Site.  I didn’t go, but I heard Tom Hughes gave a great speech!  Let’s see, what else… Oh, and we did set up shop at the Calvin Coolidge State Historical Site as well, with a life-size foam reproduction of one of our granite markers.

Stay tuned for February’s release of our 2018 Calendar of Events!
