A new sign was installed as part of the Historical Commission’s ongoing sign project at the historic Meeting House Common District last week.
“This sign marks the first of three signs,” Lynnfield Historical Commission Chair Kirk Mansfield said. “We have plans to install the remaining two over the next year.”
In September, the town initiated the installation of new signs at various sites, including the Lynnfield Quarry, Towne Lyne House, and Billy’s Dew Drop Inn. This endeavor is part of the town’s comprehensive plan, which was finalized last year and includes the replacement of multiple signs highlighting historical locations throughout the town.
The remodeling of these signs began with the installation of new granite signage at key locations such as the Town Common, Centre Farm, Original School House, and Town Meeting House.
“We began working on remodeling signs last year,” Town Administrator Rob Dolan said. “We wanted to make the historic signs more visually appealing and uniform across Lynnfield. We have already started putting up signs and branding them into specific community sites.”
According to Dolan, this effort represents the town’s commitment to preserving its heritage and ensuring that its historical landmarks are clearly marked and easily identifiable for residents and visitors. He added that the installation of the first sign at the Meeting House Common District is a significant step toward achieving this goal, and further installations are planned soon.
