TASC has procedures in place to make sure drivers and passengers are safe. Including stocking up on masks and hand sanitizer along with deep cleaning of vehicles.

Tobey & Merrill Insurance Celebrates Milestone
There are nations that couldn’t sustain themselves for 100 years, yet for a century Tobey & Merrill Insurance agency has thrived through a commitment to its customers, community and employees. Today, the third and fourth generations of Merrills are leading, but the tale of Tobey & Merrill begins as the world was embroiled in The Great War, when Herbert Tobey bought an insurance agency from Reverend Edgar Warren in 1916.
Dean and his brother Geoffrey are the third generation of Merrill’s guiding the agency today, following their father Russell in the role. And a few years ago, Dean’s daughter Kim Merrill Wood joined as the fourth generation to take up the mantel. All three remember the “grandpa” who got things going with Herbert Tobey, setting the standard for the way business would run. This was a man, they said, who always looked to the future and never dwelled on the past.

American Independence Museum Reopens for Tours
Live tours are back at the American Independence Museum, albeit hosted at safe social distances for members of the public. Tours have began and explore the history of Folsom Tavern and the grounds of the triangular parcel of land that makes up the museum’s property, while the Ladd-Gilman House remains closed. Executive Director Emma Stratton said in the wake of the museum shifting to a full virtual setup amid the coronavirus pandemic, it’s been a nice change of pace to have guests return in-person. She said tours are currently limited to the museum’s grounds and Folsom Tavern, which offers more open space inside and features new visual elements.
A tour explores the history of the property owners who lived in the former houses on the museum along Water Street in colonial times. Some of these historical figures included the tavern’s first owners Samuel Folsom and his wife Elizabeth. Her sister Margaret was rumored to have kissed George Washington during his collation, a light breakfast, during a stop at the tavern in 1789, according to tour guide Mike Welch.
