The Old Parker Tavern - 1680 - Massachusetts Historical Markers on Waymarking.com

Long Description:
The marker says:

One-eighth of a mile to "the simple home of an ordinary man, not wealthy, not particularly distinguished, but a type of the God-fearing yeomanry ... as Ephraim Parker left it. It remains today an unchanged relic in the midst of a changing world."

But a photo of you standing next to the marker or a photograph the subject of the marker - those are examples of possible photographs to upload.
