Ashland, MA Telephone Booth

Maybe the last phone booth in Ashland, MA
This is located on the corner of Main and Summer St., at the Ashland Post Office.
 Needed to capture this as Steve Leacu mentioned it might be the only one left in Ashland. 

Ashland, MA Centennial Celebration Program of Events June 8-9, 1946

If the Horse and Buggy photo is in Ashland for the Centennial Parade, it would have been one one of these streets as the Program of Events depicts the Parade route:

Pleasant Street at Fenwal factory, east on Pleasant Street to Main Street to Richard Murphy Square, to Homer Avenue to Union Street, west on Union to Summer Street to Park Road and Stone Park.

What is this photo in Ashland, Horse and Buggy, Parade?

Ashland, MA Hurricane 1954

 Not really sure if you can call the papers and documents found in my attic a collection,  but there is a lot of history in the photos and life stories of the residents of Ashland, MA.  Some were saved by my grandparents and my parents, then me. 

If only I was thinking of preservation instead of stuffing bags and boxes into the recesses of the attic, many of the pieces in the 'collection' would be in better shape. As for now, I'm just finding and sorting originals of which many will go to the Ashland Historical Society.

Recently found some old news clippings and photos from Ashland, MA.  I'll be putting up
scans of things I find for those who are interested and as time allows.  Some will be a little fuzzy, ripped, torn
and with stains. 

After the Hurricane on 8/31/1954 Boston Edison

The name Edna will not be used in another Atlantic hurricane
