There's history all around us, including in my front yard (almost). Not long ago, the town placed benches and a memorial to Corporal Harvey Duquette, U.S. Army, on this patch of town-owned land. Read about Corp. Duquette and get the clues to the final. Bring a pen.
Easy parking along the street.
I always said that for me to get a first to find, it would have to be in my front yard. This is pretty close; too bad I can't log it. But it's one of those historic places I see every day and wondered what it's about.
This site is in the Whitinsville Historic District, and many of the surrounding homes were built in the late 1800s-early 1900s for families associated with Whitin Machine Works. A classic mill village.
