Dear fellow Hanoverians:
The good folks at the John Curtis Library are hosting a few cool events
over the next couple of weeks. Check them out!
Distance & Direction: Surveying Hanover & the Commonwealth in 1795
Monday, November 15th at 7:00 p.m.
The John Curtis Free Library will be joined by Stephen O’Neill, the
Executive Director of the Hanover Historical Society, as he delves into how
town lines were established. Did you know that In 1794, the Massachusetts
General Court ordered every town in the Commonwealth to conduct a survey of
boundaries? Each survey map created was a unique, hand-drawn map, listing
natural features, roads, and mills. Explore how the surveys were conducted
using surveyor’s compasses and chains to measure out boundaries, and the
implications of those surveys today. See an original surveyor’s compass,
boundary book for Hanover, and learn how to measure in 18th Century rods,
links, and chains. Examples of the maps for the towns of Hanover, Boston,
and the North River towns will be examined to show the artistry of the
skill that went into their creation. Please register here:
