Signs Signs everywhere a sign!

Just a few short days until the start on Sunday. It’s a quieter year without the major Yankee Homecoming activities, but still a year to walk-about and talk about all the signs! Some folks are so anxious they are putting theirs up a day early on Saturday!

Here are some good things to know that are different this year:

Acclaimed local photographer Bob Watts will be roaming around taking pictures of the sign and the house, for inclusion in a “coffee table” gift book for the holidays. All proceeds go to the Preservation Trust. No one is making any profit here – it’s all for Newburyport – thanks to all the volunteers and participants!
On the map we are including about a dozen “historical signs” or street scenes like the one below. Check them out. We looked for pictures where we could post them on the exact same spot they were taken!
Paper lists will be made available at the library starting Monday; you can also download them here on this website. Watch for the post over the weekend.
The map will also include homes with official Newburyport Preservation Trust plaques – add that to your walk!
