The milestone that is the subject of this plaque marks the divergence of two paths to Boston town, given the inscriptions on both sides. The marker reads:
"Marking two early routes to Boston, first through Brighton and Roxbury, later via the West Boston Bridge, opened in 1794. 1734"

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.
