Historical society, Selectboard discuss Burying Yard Point sign and preservation
Summary
The board discussed wording and constraints for a state roadside sign at Burying Yard Point, reported contact with an archaeologist, and reaffirmed the town’s desire not to disturb known graves.
The Selectboard reviewed plans for a roadside sign at Burying Yard Point and noted that the state limits the number of characters allowed on official roadside signs. The Historical Society and town volunteers will need to craft concise wording that fits the state’s requirements.
Barbara Callahan reported the Historical Society has contacted an archaeologist and emphasized that the site is a burial ground the town does not want to disturb. The Selectboard scheduled further meetings in March to continue work on wording and preservation steps.
