Homage was paid at the site of the Haynes Garrison (1645), 1930 Tercentenary historical marker of the garrison and the stone post road marker pointing to Sudbury Center, Hudson, Maynard, Concord and Lincoln, the site of a Training Field and nearby Sandy Hill government storehouse, on the Boston Post Road (aka Rt. 20) Tercentenary markers for the Hop Brook Mill which had been purchased by Henry Ford and another garrison house put to use during King Philip's War in 1676. I really do appreciate these thought provoking roadside markers. I wonder if by 2030 we might add the Native American perspective; maybe QR codes for other history and information.

Haynes Garrison on Water Row, Sudbury

Mass Bay Colony Tercentenary Commission put up more than 300 historical markers in 1930 to celebrate the 300th birthday of the colony.

Stone posts are still handy

One of the many training fields served to train loyal British colonists. This River Rd. site is near the Sandy Hill government storage house.

The Hop Brook Mill was built in 1659 to grind corn of the settlers but by 1930 was purchased by Henry Ford. Where is it now?

A portion of the Goodenow Garrison House on Boston Post Road was near this sign.
