Spring Lane - Massachusetts Historical Markers on Waymarking.com

The marker reads:

"The excellent spring water on the Shawmut Peninsula drew the Puritans to settle here. The site of the spring is marker on Spring Lane. Nearby the colonists built their compact town. The first church, first market, first prison, first burying ground, and the house of the first governor all stood close together. Today two major landmarks, the Old State House and King's Chapel, stand on the edges of the site of the early town center."

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.
