As you saw, Hingham is a town filled with history as witnessed by this mile marker in front of the Old Ship Church. Being the halfway mark between Plymouth and Boston, it would have been a popular stopping place for travelers. Thanks to Peyton, Mariann, Milt, Carol, Joyce, Tony, Michael K., Mrs. Beth, and Mike Di for joining me there.
One last town before I wrap up this month's challenge. Are you ready???
Life Saving Stations were the forerunners to our current Coast Guard. This station has its roots back to 1889. Here there is a museum as well.
Typical of any high grounds - a fort was built. Originally called Fort Independence (1775), Fort Revere is the victim of neglect and vandalism.
The tower at Ft. Revere
This beautiful home is really the town's library! Built in 1913.
And, the hometown of the founder of Johnny Cupcakes started here in 2005!
Hull!
