Visit Instructions:
When logging a Massachusetts Historic Marker, we ask that you not
only describe your visit, but to upload a picture from it. The
picture does not have to be of the marker - one picture of the
marker is enough. 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.
