Globe Pequot is proud to announce the May release of Massachusetts Town
Greens: A History of the State's Common Centers, by Eric Hurwitz,
(978-1-4930-1927-4, $18.95 paperback, 256 pages).
Massachusetts’ town greens date back to colonial times, when they
served as the physical and spiritual centers for these early towns.
Today many town greens continue to be the center of town events, fairs,
and other gatherings. Massachusetts Town Greens explores the history of
these remarkable greens and provides a guide to current events.
Whether taking in the famous Boston Common, Battle Green in Lexington
and Monument Square in Concord or lesser known but absolutely beautiful
town greens in places like Petersham, Royalston and Grafton, readers
will find an exciting guide to attractions and events at these local
landmarks.
