Border to Boston Trail in Boxford
|
|
|
Partnership Grant Spotlight
Employing the graphic style already used by four contiguous trail communities, the
Boxford Border to Boston Trail Committee installed two informational kiosks along its recently opened section of the emerging 30-mile Border to Boston Trail. The visual materials enhance the public's safety and provide directional and cultural information on the railroad's history and its surrounding sites. In all, seven of the nine Border to Boston Trail communities feature branded interpretive displays funded, in part, with Essex Heritage grants.
