NEARA Field Trip

MA NEARA TOUR of BORDERLAND STATE PARK

MAY 20th, 2007 at 11:00

The Massachusetts chapter of NEARA will hold a field trip to Borderland State Park on Sunday, May 20. Our last visit to Borderland, in 2001, was led by Ellie Ricker. We all miss her.

The park spans the borders of Sharon and Easton, MA. For centuries this land marked the territorial boundary between the Wampanoug and Massachusetts tribes. It was being used by both tribes for hunting and fishing in 1690, when the first colonists moved to the area. On our tour we will see a stone prayer seat, a chamber, and many other interesting stone constructions, and geological features. We will record their GPS locations for our site reports. The park geologist, Bill Hocking, and the Visitor Services Supervisor, Ellenor Yahrmarkt, will join us. She will show us the Ames Mansion after our NEARA tour.


Call or email any questions, or to sign up.

Please RSVP: brendatoomey@verizon.net, or call 508-885-0993.[MSOffice1]

SAVE this date: On Sunday afternoon, JUNE 24, George Krusen will show us a sacred site and the Boxborough Esker.
