The Becket Center Historic District is also referred to (at least locally) as the Becket Center Rural Historic District. The posted coords are for a stone marker for the historic district (see below):

"In Becket Center, which began with a sawmill in 1740, the first Congregational Church has a bell cast by Paul Revere that is still in use today. In front of the church is "The Parade" where Becket Minutemen drilled before marching to Boston in 1775."
