Beverly-Wenham 1 (B-W1) - U.S. Historic Survey Stones and Monuments on Waymarking.com

This is one of many granite posts used to mark the "corner" points on the boundary lines between towns in Massachusetts, in this case, the City of Beverly and the Town of Wenham. The letter "B" (for Beverly) is inscribed on one side, and the letter "W" (for Wenham) is on the opposite side. It is approximately 15 inches wide, 10 inches deep, and two feet high.

This marker is located on the west side of Preston Place (near exit 17 of Route 128), about ten feet in the woods where the road makes a sharp turn right (east).

The next adjacent marker heading northeast is Beverly-Manchester-Wenham, 0.3 mile.
The next adjacent marker heading west is Beverly-Wenham 2, 0.2 mile.
