Marlborough Historical Society outlines plans for 250-year celebration
Summary
The Marlborough Historical Society presented a plan for the town's 250-year celebration, proposing banners/flags, cemetery crawls, a heritage time capsule, QR-code home tours, coordination with Milton Pier ship tours, and student volunteer engagement.
Tom Schroeder, president of the Marlborough Historical Society, introduced Arnold Restivo, who presented a proposed program for Marlborough’s 250-year celebration. Restivo described a multi-part plan: placing banners and flags in the villages of Marlboro, Milton and Lattintown; hosting a cemetery crawl to highlight historic figures; placing a heritage time capsule; creating QR-code tours of historic homes (with selected interior openings); coordinating festivities with weekly ship tours at the Milton Pier; engaging school students as volunteers; and holding an event called "Memories of Marlborough since the founding of our country."
Schroeder said he had a booklet from the town’s 200-year celebration that predated computers and cell phones and introduced Restivo as the person who will help with the 250th plans. The board did not record a formal vote on the presentation; the items were presented for consideration and possible coordination with the Recreation Department and other town functions.
