Hopkinton and its Town Common are most well known for having the Start Line of the Boston Marathon. In fact, this virtual cache was hidden on April 18, 2022...the date of the 126th running of the marathon.
Even though the Town Common is relatively small, it contains several interesting plaques and statues. Some are related to the marathon, and some are not. To get credit for this Virtual Cache, you will need to visit the various plaques and statues located on or around the Hopkinton Town Common to answer the following questions:
- Who donated the statue of Dick and Rick Hoyt to the town?
- What year was the memorial to Hopkinton's first meeting house erected?
- What object was erected by Charles Claflin?
- Inspirational quotes from which two dignitaries appear on separate plaques?
It's not needed for the virtual cahce, but don't forget to take your picture next to the Boston Marathon Start Line!
