  • Framingham Biking Projects Meeting

    FRAMINGHAM, MA — The Friends of the Bruce Freeman Rail Trail is having its monthly meeting for February in Framingham. The meeting will be on Tuesday Feb. 10, 2009 in the Educational Building at The Garden In The Woods, 180 Hemenway Road from 7 to 9 PM.

    The agenda for the meeting includes a program given by members of the bicycle community (representing the Cochituate Rail Trail, The Bruce Freeman Rail Trail and the Framingham Bicycle and Pedestrian Advocacy Committee) of the ongoing bicycle projects and activity in Framingham.

    This is an excellent, and unique opportunity, for those interested in promoting biking in Framingham to find out how to get involved. It is the first time all three local biking groups have come together at a meeting.

    Light and tasty snacks included and the public is invited.

    For more information please call John Stasik at (508) 877–6771.

  • On the Map

    When we stopped in the Sudbury Town Hall recently, we noticed a copy of an old map on the wall.

    The map was “Saxton’s Map of Suffolk 1575.”

    Many names on the map were unfamiliar, or in different locations from where they are now.  “Ipswitche” was closer to Rhode Island than to New Hampshire.  “Saxted” and “Bedfeld” were east and north of the area labeled “Framlinghm,” which by 1600, dropped the “l” to become “Framingham.”
