Yeah, it's not exactly Independence Hall but I like any and all kinds of history.

History, love it. This place should be on a elementary school field trip. (wait, do they do field trips any more ?)
On a recent trip to western Mass
I like to see the marker commemorating these people and events, but the text could have used a comma or two.
Thanks for the pics!!
I agree, history is amazing......and all around us.
@sparky64....Interesting... I live in a small village in upstate NY.... and we have many signs like that (very old village - 1600's)....Where is that one? Cheers, RickO

It took 10 months to get it done, but the Granite State is now officially a Geeky State: The latest New Hampshire Historical Highway Marker, celebrating the creation of the BASIC computer language at Dartmouth in 1964, has officially been installed.

I did not know this. Really cool. I learned how to program in BASIC in 1979. It was so easy a 15 year old could do it on a Radio Shack TRS-80 (my first computer) with a simple instruction manual.
