8
00:02:10.399 --> 00:02:25.599
>> See, that's that's the only problem I have in AI. [laughter] >> It's not 100% accurate. So, other than those two names, I didn't have anything else. >> And he does not like names. >> No.

9
00:02:25.599 --> 00:02:41.599
>> Yeah. But it's they're very good as far as um doing a summary like >> Definitely. >> Oh, yeah. Yeah. >> Um so, I'll entertain a motion to accept the minutes of April 14th as amended.

10
00:02:41.599 --> 00:02:55.840
>> So, move. >> Is there a second? >> Second. >> All in favor? All opposed and that [clears throat] motion passes. So [snorts] remembrances Irene usually does that and she is not here this evening.

11
00:02:55.840 --> 00:03:12.640
>> However, I did find out that so then from a couple like last month's Wendel Carr >> that name that was brought up. So my one of my best friends Zach you know um so it car is his >> Yes. family >> and he's like he also said the Adam Rose

12
00:03:12.640 --> 00:03:28.959
who that's his uncle >> grand both of their grandfather >> yeah but not coincidence but you heard that name and then at the same time >> okay um our budget is

13
00:03:28.959 --> 00:03:48.560
we did have an expenditure so we have $45256 because we did pay the um for the plaque Did we end up finding out who um is going to be at the historical conference yet? >> No, we'll get to that. Good. Okay.

14
00:03:48.560 --> 00:04:04.720
>> The speakers and agenda. >> No. Um preserving memories. >> Um yep. So, I contacted Christine Lynch and she's definitely still interested, but she wants to wait until the house

15
00:04:04.720 --> 00:04:20.959
and garden tour is done. Okay. >> Because she's like strung out through that. >> Um, I emailed John and I finally heard back from John. >> Um, he's still interested, but he needs a little

16
00:04:20.959 --> 00:04:35.440
bit more time. He's going through some health. No, nothing serious, but help is tying him up. he's uh definitely still interested. Um he mentioned to me that a good topic would be um princess house.

17
00:04:35.440 --> 00:04:51.280
Um he said in his email, so today he said is I'm not going to go to about this issue, but you know he talk about that. Um he said, "Give me some more time. We can talk about West later." He said, "I also want to check to see if you might have an appetite for doing something with the folks who previously

18
00:04:51.280 --> 00:05:08.720
worked at Princess House." PH um was a major employer in town, you know, talked about the history of it. Glass plant I'm, you know, which I was aware of a little bit. Um he said, "I think it would be great to assemble some former PH employees to do a group session with them to relive their memories of PH, how

19
00:05:08.720 --> 00:05:24.639
it started, grew up, ended, and moving from Dying, all that kind of stuff. I said, "That's an awesome idea." And I said, "Did he contacts only because I didn't know if he just thought that would be a cool one to do >> or I feel like he would have sent an email. I know so and so will to talk

20
00:05:24.639 --> 00:05:41.199
about it." So, I did email him back and said, "That's a great idea. Do you know of anybody? Do you have any contacts?" um talking about the group session uh after talking with it. It's still it group

21
00:05:41.199 --> 00:05:57.280
testing is possible just not in the studio because Dave said that he noticed when you have more than two people in the studio the the mics the setup they have there is hard to do because I was saying well I didn't mention this but that kind of goes along well with the Wellington roundt discussion um because

22
00:05:57.280 --> 00:06:13.199
I wanted for MNA's community quarter I wanted to do like a round table of all like former selectmen who are still around to talk about how the job has changed and all that kind of stuff like that's a great idea can't do it here that might be something to do here, >> which is good. >> Or not here, it's kind of equity, but

23
00:06:13.199 --> 00:06:30.240
somewhere else where we can set up the audience the way we want, just not in that studio. >> Um, so if anyone knows it, just stick with this for now. And Princess House. >> Um, that's something that we can definitely do. Um, I'm waiting to hear

24
00:06:30.240 --> 00:06:46.240
that from Joe Pico, not Basho, about meeting uh sometime next week um to see the you know to go over his first >> to over what the the interview could be.

25
00:06:46.240 --> 00:07:02.800
Um definitely think the the Wellington one is a good idea. Now that the weather's nice, Pat, I I think it might be good again now to follow up with uh Ken Ken Chico. Ken Fico >> about is his house going to be in the

26
00:07:02.800 --> 00:07:18.800
house and garden tour. Yeah. >> So that's probably not going to be a good idea right now. They're definitely >> but but after >> but also maybe shortly after if his house is going to be in a great >> presentation >> to you know that might be a good time to do it if we're going to be doing it at

27
00:07:18.800 --> 00:07:37.039
his house. When is the house in garden? >> June 27th. >> Okay. So, I guess something to talk to Caleb about and him to see if sometime after that, >> but but shortly after a while, you know, that day obviously, but like a couple days after maybe. >> Yep. All right. So, stars people that

28
00:07:37.039 --> 00:07:57.280
house, I can think of a few um that I can reach out to. Um [snorts] >> across from the pizza, it's a long huge it's not I if it's like a bunch of different things now right >> cooperative productions is in >> yeah is it

29
00:07:57.280 --> 00:08:13.360
>> oh that's where >> I don't was there a prince was ever so I was >> princess like princess Diana >> princess house in my lifetime because I always refer to it as a princess house

30
00:08:13.360 --> 00:08:27.919
and I remember seeing the like >> I remember seeing the crystals from there >> so was it in operations children or just know >> I remember I remember it. That's how I know princess actually knows that anymore because at one point didn't it have it own zip code?

31
00:08:27.919 --> 00:08:44.640
>> It might have my dad >> so much had it own zip code at one point. >> Um and then it moved up to the industrial park. >> Is it still an operation as a as [clears throat] a corporation? I do believe is because it's one of those

32
00:08:44.640 --> 00:09:02.200
house and home party things. Oh, so they might have a princess house in Elsewhere, too. >> Yeah. Oh, >> I think they're still in the industrial park. I'm not sure, >> but I can think of a few people that work there. My mom worked there.

33
00:09:03.440 --> 00:09:18.480
I think that's quite a few, you know, different topics that we have. >> Um, do we The Wellington one. Is that Do you want to discuss that now? >> No, we'll do that a little bit. >> Okay. >> Okay. um historical markers. I have to touch

34
00:09:18.480 --> 00:09:35.279
base with Kevin again. You know, he said BP was willing to work with us on that. Um probably not till September like we talked about, but I want to talk about some of the logistics of it with Kevin. Um actually, and I had the new owners of

35
00:09:35.279 --> 00:09:52.399
221 Summer Street contact me. Um >> we're saying >> 221 you said where Vicki cousins, >> where Vicki used to live. um looking to replace the marker. Um they're looking to do some of the exterior, you know, in

36
00:09:52.399 --> 00:10:09.120
the period. So, I said we would share some of the history with them. Um like I told them, we put it on the list for the markers as soon as we get that set. >> Maybe we should um modify the application format to include

37
00:10:09.120 --> 00:10:27.160
that if the only gets the the the marker. should be moved. They don't have the right to take black. I think what's in there? We'll have to review that. Yeah. >> So, yeah, let's review that. in June.

38
00:10:35.440 --> 00:10:56.000
Storage should go to the storage [laughter] and then I'll be sold on storage. [laughter] Okay. Um, Wellington Dyon anniversary. So,

39
00:10:56.000 --> 00:11:11.760
Wellington, we did talk about being a preserving memories program and I I looked at the AI summary from our last meeting. So, we're supposed to talk about the format, how we want to do it. Do we want to include a PowerPoint? Who are going to be the people that talk

40
00:11:11.760 --> 00:11:29.279
about it? I did bring my Wellington notebook and I was kind of thinking about it. Um, >> I had [clears throat] two ideas of how to format a book. >> All right. So, let's talk about format. >> If we each did a either like

41
00:11:29.279 --> 00:11:45.839
you do years blank to blank, you do years blank to blank. You you blank through blank or you do the who, you do the what's, when's, where's, why, something like that. because other than that like the round table discussions like

42
00:11:45.839 --> 00:12:01.519
unless it's one moderator you know what I mean then everyone's like it depends on like how structured do you want it to be I guess but the who when where like you have it's more like it's also helpful for the not only the discussion but the research aspect too so like if

43
00:12:01.519 --> 00:12:18.079
one person is focusing on people when focusing on specific dates when is working on obviously where you know well some of their various locations why you know how there's like obviously people will always meet me but like that's a possibility but that also depend on how many people we have that are going to

44
00:12:18.079 --> 00:12:33.839
take part. So I was thinking about it and it was kind of like the along the same lines because there are people that especially the people part of it that were living in Wellington which is there was only one census

45
00:12:33.839 --> 00:12:49.360
um the 1820 census is when Wellington shows up as a town and lists all of the residents the by the male family names um that were in town that were in Wellington. Some of those names are are

46
00:12:49.360 --> 00:13:04.240
like um Nat Crane, >> um David Standish, um the the Babbots like on, you know, uh that are on Center Street, that whole corner up in there around the brick church, those people.

47
00:13:04.240 --> 00:13:21.920
There were businesses there. Um >> I found some other names, too, in the book that where I found the meeting minutes. I found stuff from Wellington there, too. Mhm. >> Um, >> and I think >> there's a lot more than I took pictures

48
00:13:21.920 --> 00:13:39.200
of, but those have some names on it, too. >> Were they like ledgers or part of the minutes? >> Part of the minutes. So there was a whole disc that would be because they would have minutes like

49
00:13:39.200 --> 00:13:55.560
from when the discussion was about to divide into two towns as well as minutes that would reflect when they would coming be coming back. >> That's mostly what's there. This is the before and the after which is >> something

50
00:13:55.600 --> 00:14:13.160
>> right because their actual records have been lost. doing are there records of like border disputes between the two accounts? >> Um I don't know. Not that I've read >> the road.

51
00:14:14.160 --> 00:14:28.880
>> Um >> I don't know like people engaging with savage violence. This this is mine because and there were families that were divided. You know, one brother would live on >> there's a bunch of names and one would

52
00:14:28.880 --> 00:14:47.440
live in you know so I think if we depending on who's interested in doing things then that's how we divide it >> so this is a this is from 1814 voted to choose a committee of five

53
00:14:47.440 --> 00:15:02.560
persons Thomas S Bailey's Joseph Jr. a list of names for a jury for the town of Wellington >> because they're relevant in Wellington >> and that's all the people there. >> Yeah,

54
00:15:02.560 --> 00:15:24.079
>> that's more names that I don't know >> Crane. >> Yeah. >> Walkers, Jones, Hathaways, Williams are names that we are aware of. >> But just another source of names we But I'm sure there's there when I went that day to look at stuff for the meeting, the 1776 stuff, I found those too.

55
00:15:24.079 --> 00:15:41.360
There's probably more. I was focusing on the 1776 where I take a picture of all of them, but I took a picture of quite a few. So, there's probably more in there, too. >> Yeah, there wouldn't be anything in the in between years when I found that. >> Yeah. >> Um there's also a picture in digital

56
00:15:41.360 --> 00:15:58.880
commonwealth of the celebration when the two towns were came back together at um brick church and Wellington. Actually the the task to become Dyon and Wellington came back together like in February of 1826

57
00:15:58.880 --> 00:16:14.959
but this picture is people are outside having a picnic so it must have been later but there are no leaves on the tree. >> Oh okay. >> You know so maybe [laughter] >> why why would there

58
00:16:14.959 --> 00:16:31.360
so this is one I mean this is not a document from Don this is just a document from Wellington. Why? Why would that that's not >> I don't know. >> So I mean there might be more in that book somewhere or others but >> so we'll have to research to see what's in the whole show.

59
00:16:31.360 --> 00:16:47.120
>> I I I have a whole project. >> I did put that one and the 77 one off to the side in our section to know to know to know where those two were. Whatever I was there with you last. I put those two off to the side. I think we put them in

60
00:16:47.120 --> 00:17:02.880
in the middle section kind of like so we know where they are. >> Okay, we'll figure it out. >> Yeah, >> we'll we'll organize it because I think it's right now, >> right? Um so I I think the format should be kind of like what you talked about. I

61
00:17:02.880 --> 00:17:21.319
you know the why it happened and how it came back together. Um the people in it >> because with with Irene that's who that's five who, what, when, where, why. Why slash how I mean h how can I mean

62
00:17:22.640 --> 00:17:39.360
I don't think we already need the what it's more like we know what it's more the how and the why >> like what >> I think that some >> well you know how we like I guess >> so briefly you could touch on the history of it that right who were the

63
00:17:39.360 --> 00:17:54.320
major players >> yeah who were the major players and some of those people are quite Yeah. Not only um >> well I guess if you do why how why

64
00:17:54.320 --> 00:18:21.520
is six. So if we use the what the what as like the intro then that gives us five. That's so we really would we probably would like to do this

65
00:18:21.520 --> 00:18:40.160
I think maybe towards the fall >> Octoberish. Yeah. >> I do really better with deadlines. I think it's a good thing with deadlines that we can prepared and we want >> no not that it can't be a round table

66
00:18:40.160 --> 00:18:57.360
discussion but it should sound like a round table discussion and not like a >> a lecture >> right but also like it should I think that happened in 25 like that we shouldn't be doing that either we should kind of >> we should know what we're talking about and exactly you know the

67
00:18:57.360 --> 00:19:12.640
>> like we should do a dryet dry run beforehand kind of >> we want detail but not >> the way that I with somebody for the oneonone interview. We don't just go, we don't wing it unless Yeah. >> Okay. It's a good idea. >> So, we have a summary that Samantha did

68
00:19:12.640 --> 00:19:30.799
for us last year. >> And so, we have the state documents for that. I probably have the this so I can send to everybody. >> I have that one electronically too.

69
00:19:30.799 --> 00:19:49.840
>> Yeah. And then we have the 1820 census from Wellington. >> Where did she find that on ancestry or >> Oh, yeah. This is on the ancestry. Yeah. >> Yeah. >> It's funny how they used to do it

70
00:19:49.840 --> 00:20:05.280
though, huh? >> It's cool. >> Like, so they like cut off, but it's like males at a certain age, males, you know, 16 to 35. Yes or no? >> Yeah, >> different there the different age groups

71
00:20:05.280 --> 00:20:21.520
than females. So, it's kind of hard to see, you know, figure them all out. But there's quite a few people, you know, it was twothirds of that was in Wellington. >> That was like like that's a major chunk and it's also like

72
00:20:21.520 --> 00:20:37.080
quite a significant amount of time. wasn't two years, you know, it was a >> well 1814 to 1826 >> and in that was that long ago. >> No. Um there's a couple of articles on it.

73
00:20:39.039 --> 00:20:57.440
>> This is from someone barley's research on the Horton family who lived in who owned the Napra house. MNA's um article [snorts] and then of course the Brook area because that's in there. So you know we

74
00:20:57.440 --> 00:21:14.559
can also look at the different um macros forms that are listed >> especially using elicit names for sure. >> Um so this is a start you know that would really take a lot.

75
00:21:15.440 --> 00:21:33.919
So, >> do you want to wait for Irene to talk about who who wants to do each segment? She's not here to speak for herself. >> I'm thinking sh I could come into town hall and make copies of this for everybody. >> Of course. That makes sense. So, we all have the same information to read.

76
00:21:33.919 --> 00:21:53.200
>> Yeah. So, so like that this might be >> this. >> I found others too talk like other dates the same thing. I don't know if you want me to send those to you in case you want to add it to this. >> Yeah. Yeah. Because it's like the picture from um digital common found.

77
00:21:53.200 --> 00:22:08.480
I'll add >> like so I have like the like from the it's I have the same thing like one that's from 1823. You talk about the division line between Dy and Wellington. >> I have one from 1824 that talks about

78
00:22:08.480 --> 00:22:26.080
the Wellington boundary boundary alteration. >> Yes. One from 1826 with them reuniting 1814 that talks about the split >> because those two may indicate some boundary changes too like what Raka was

79
00:22:26.080 --> 00:22:42.559
referring to that. Yeah. I also extracted the two pages from Herds that talk about Wellington Brandon I know taking it with a grain of salt but it's M's book I mean not M I'm sorry Helen Wayne's book also talks a bit about Wellington

80
00:22:42.559 --> 00:23:00.799
>> a little more chapter hair check but like the part about Wellington I can send this to you too. >> Okay. Yeah. or or tell or you you have the actual Herd's cop like the hard copy book of your house, right? 23 page 237. >> Okay.

81
00:23:00.799 --> 00:23:19.520
>> To 238 is where he where her discusses mind in in in detail about what you know. >> Yep. [snorts] >> Okay. So, we can start with that and then we'll all have the same information.

82
00:23:19.520 --> 00:23:37.240
That'd be great. Then we can figure out um from there who's going to be in charge of um >> after what kind of something jumps out. So, >> I think the biggest part is going to be the people that were there when you think about it.

83
00:23:38.159 --> 00:23:53.679
>> Then I was looking at the picture. There's there's people in it and if you enlarge it, you can actually see that the woman's face, but there's no identification of who the people are in the picture. M >> one aspect too is I'm kind of things of you know

84
00:23:53.679 --> 00:24:10.480
like is like if someone focuses on what hap what was Don going through at that time they were following >> well because that is that >> not like it's not about well but yes it's about Wellington but like Wellington was >> right >> the it's the Don part that was like

85
00:24:10.480 --> 00:24:26.960
unrecognizable everyone like Wellington it's all the names that we know the places that but the Dyon part is the part that was like nothing, >> right? >> Like I almost think to some extent their history history is one of the more interesting >> it would be. Yeah. >> Not more like something to also think

86
00:24:26.960 --> 00:24:42.880
about like what was going on on that side. Mhm. >> The biggest problem was paying the taxes between the two towns and the pool of people that um >> I read a bit about it some >> who would be serving in different um

87
00:24:42.880 --> 00:24:59.360
capacities because you've got the majority in Wellington >> factories and the you know so yeah so um >> they have two different governing well weapon That's great.

88
00:24:59.360 --> 00:25:14.480
>> That's so Yeah, that's very interesting. Yeah. >> Like usually you hear about this happening like oh north and over split off from Andover. Okay. Because And like like Adab North there are maps that show Adabaro as one

89
00:25:14.480 --> 00:25:29.760
big town before North split off. But like North >> No, for real. Well, yeah, but like it's almost the same thing. Who would have knew it like for a while that >> see the most impactful negative this was what Samantha wrote from her research of

90
00:25:29.760 --> 00:25:48.559
Wellington was that its residents taxes increased and stayed that way >> and >> as they should have. >> Yeah. >> Arguably. >> That's Yeah. >> I mean, you want to split off and be your own town.

91
00:25:48.559 --> 00:26:03.600
Why shouldn't they? >> They had a townhouse that both towns owned, but only Wellington used and both towns declined to repair it. [laughter] >> Wow. The maintenance

92
00:26:03.600 --> 00:26:23.080
>> be >> the maintenance of poppers. Population of both towns being a convenient measure for one town only. town expenses being less than they had become before the separation.

93
00:26:23.360 --> 00:26:45.679
So, you know, I think Texas was probably the driving force. [laughter] All right. So, we I'll get copies of that. >> Okay. I think that'll be an interesting discussion. One thing too about

94
00:26:45.679 --> 00:27:01.120
>> it could be fun too like just to >> sorry I'm just looking at the I mean look I'll wait till we're done this topic we'll go back to the circle mark >> okay um so we'll need to talk to cable about it you know whatever their schedule looks

95
00:27:01.120 --> 00:27:17.360
like too where to fit it in >> yeah and where like I mean obviously this room is big but like it's way too >> after the sound last night wasn't too bad >> oh really >> good Okay.

96
00:27:17.360 --> 00:27:34.000
Anyone have anything else on Wellington? >> All right. Um, the plaque for Katherine Yell for the town flag, um, we're scheduled for June 10th at the board of selectments meeting and I'm working on contacting the

97
00:27:34.000 --> 00:27:49.760
family. So, it's too intense because it's after the meeting and it won't be a long meeting. Hopefully, >> if the family can't make it, are you going to look to do another day? >> Um,

98
00:27:49.760 --> 00:28:06.799
I don't know. Let's see. >> Are they local? I forgot. >> Yeah, they're around. I just have to get some numbers. >> We should Yeah, maybe we can do it sooner than later so that way they have time like not like >> Right. So they're not going away that

99
00:28:06.799 --> 00:28:21.840
weekend. Right. That one. >> Right. Well, we're doing it on the tent, so sorry. >> Yeah. [snorts] >> So I >> Yeah. Um I thought I would hear for a number I have to follow up on that.

100
00:28:21.840 --> 00:28:40.720
Um >> so that's interest. >> I talked to Tom Ferry about building a time capsule for us. >> Um it is possible. He thinks I just have to send him. He thought I wanted a great huge chest.

101
00:28:40.720 --> 00:28:56.320
>> Well, if he's offering he's offering >> the no one has to fit on a shelf. [laughter] >> Yeah. What a coffin. The Undertaker inhabit [laughter] because I think I said treasure chest

102
00:28:56.320 --> 00:29:16.730
first instead of time cast. [laughter] This is what you told me to do. >> [laughter] >> I just know Tom. He just looked at me like, "What?" [laughter] >> Like Tom's like, "How old are you? You want a treasure chest?" Okay. I'll make you a treasure chest.

103
00:29:16.730 --> 00:29:36.799
[laughter] >> We talked basically about a small one, you know, like we have what is this like 5 by eight, you know, by 11 and this one was 12 by 8 and a half. Is that really Is that going to be big enough for us? >> 12 by 8.

104
00:29:36.799 --> 00:29:53.760
>> That's >> That's like big. >> Yeah. >> So the width is >> I mean it's probably about the size. >> Yeah. >> How deep is it? >> This one doesn't [snorts] say how deep it is. >> It doesn't look very deep. >> No, this is

105
00:29:53.760 --> 00:30:15.840
5 by 8 by 11. So it's like 11. This is probably five inches deep. question is how much stuff in that kind of one. >> Yeah, >> I think we should just do one.

106
00:30:15.840 --> 00:30:33.159
>> We should need to be longer. If it can't be deeper and it can't be wider from the shelf, it be longer at that point because it would be limited to the shelf size. So then it's gonna turn it just like that.

107
00:30:34.000 --> 00:30:51.760
>> Maybe vacuum seal. >> Knowing Tom F. I'm sure he probably could do it. >> What? >> So knowing Tom Ferry, I'm sure he could figure out how to do it. >> So this one's saying it's really So you say 6 by 7 by 11.

108
00:30:51.760 --> 00:31:18.720
Just rounding up 6 by 9. So the six would be deep. >> I mean, if you make it square, you can make it 12 by 12, right? >> Like 12 by 12. >> Yeah. >> What's the shelf width? >> That's what I just thought. That's

109
00:31:18.720 --> 00:31:37.519
shelves. >> Are those shelves a foot deep? That's going to be one. >> Yeah. Yeah. >> And when And we're going to Okay. >> What would last? >> Do we need to measure the shelves? >> I think we need to measure the shelves

110
00:31:37.519 --> 00:31:57.039
>> at at the library. >> Last forever. Is there a mantle of that fireplace? >> A small one. Wasn't it's not very wide. >> Does the fireplace work? I don't know. I just know that we had a bird thing.

111
00:31:57.039 --> 00:32:13.840
>> Could you put it from back in the day supposed to be the >> Is it Is it like bar is it like like nicely is it just empty or is it nicely barricated or >> No, I think it would track. It's open, but So, it would detract from what it looks like.

112
00:32:13.840 --> 00:32:33.120
>> So, we'll continue working on that. Um, so I sent you the national register, the link for the Dropbox. I can get in. Did anyone have any trouble? >> That was good. >> Okay. >> So, I started looking at some of this

113
00:32:33.120 --> 00:32:49.200
stuff, you know, that's interesting. Of course, some of it is we know what she sent that we have printed. >> I started reading the first 10 pages of Kelsey's thesis on the >> Yeah. you call that? >> Oh,

114
00:32:49.200 --> 00:33:04.799
>> there's on um what's his name? Joseph. >> Yeah, Milican. >> Yeah, the um >> wealth and capitalism. >> Uh the politics of maternalism. >> Interesting.

115
00:33:04.799 --> 00:33:23.039
>> Then there's a uh that >> uh just is two. >> She did one on paternalism. The first the first one was 2017 the politics of paternalism of New England's textile imagery from corporate cattle cap

116
00:33:23.039 --> 00:33:39.840
corporate capitalism to the second red stair. >> Then there's this one which is a bit more about I think Mount Oak specifically. >> I think that's the one that she presented >> the benevolent dictator of northlight in

117
00:33:39.840 --> 00:33:56.000
a case study for welfare and capitalism. And this one is 2020. >> So that one I think she kind of >> she from >> this is very specific like you know to >> and her grandparents were in Dayton. She

118
00:33:56.000 --> 00:34:11.359
she was in >> she her high school. >> I think she went to Tottenham High. >> Oh okay. >> Her grandparents were in town. >> Oh >> she has connections. I'm not, don't

119
00:34:11.359 --> 00:34:31.359
quote me on that. But she was Yeah. So there are those. >> Yeah. Because the because the first one is from Bridgewater. >> Yeah. >> And the second one was from Iowa State. >> Yeah. So the first one from Bridgewwater. She actually made an a presentation on for the historical. >> That's awesome.

120
00:34:31.359 --> 00:34:48.399
>> Um so but I didn't see that any edits for the section 8 that were in there, you know, yet. So, >> a lot of, you know, pictures, >> a lot of information, >> you know, like old receipts.

121
00:34:48.399 --> 00:35:03.359
>> Yeah. Yeah, >> that's cool. Yeah, >> that's cool. >> You know, and all of that's good to have, you know, at some point maybe print some of that stuff out so that it's all, >> you know, >> preserved because eventually digitally

122
00:35:03.359 --> 00:35:23.599
lo where are these kept? >> I don't know. I never saw those things. Yeah. But I'm sure she must have sourced it because she wouldn't put anything up that she didn't source. All right. So, that's still in motion.

123
00:35:23.599 --> 00:35:41.680
Um, our archival material needs. So, Sh and I went in, looked at the vault, and practically ran out. [laughter] >> I know. I was I was telling the day I went I knew what I wanted specifically and I found it but like so I I was like

124
00:35:41.680 --> 00:35:58.000
I told >> we definitely need to organize it. Um we definitely need to actually have you know what's in there. So, I sent you the right. [snorts] >> Yeah, it it's like nine pages. And when

125
00:35:58.000 --> 00:36:16.480
I was going through that and kind of like seen was on the shelf, it looks to me like some of the stuff that maybe really under Shar's >> some that is under our purview have gotten mixed up. And I think that's even more so now

126
00:36:16.480 --> 00:36:32.240
>> because things have been kind of rearranged or just I'll put it over here because there's a spot. >> So I think if [snorts] we use that inventory as a basis >> and then definitely organize it to what

127
00:36:32.240 --> 00:36:47.520
we want. >> Here's something to consider. Uh getting a microfish here. >> Expensive. >> Don't have a microfish. How much it cost? >> Check day. >> They're awesome. But >> do we have Oh, we did have some microf, didn't we? >> Yeah.

128
00:36:47.520 --> 00:37:02.160
>> Yeah. >> Yeah. The whole box. >> So, I start looking at some of them. Some of them are like, "Oh, this is a postcard that like I've seen good quality online before." >> And then some of them are like, "I should have one before." I mean, >> yeah, there's a couple things. Yeah. So

129
00:37:02.160 --> 00:37:20.400
>> I don't want to unwrap them, but like some I can just I can just like see on the other side. Some of you have had to unwrap completely. >> Um >> I think if we go shelf by shelf too. >> Yeah. >> Rather than take it all on um I was

130
00:37:20.400 --> 00:37:37.839
trying to assess what we needed for archival materials. There is a box of glass negatives there. >> That's what I was talking about. That's what I was talking about. Sorry. Yeah. Um, >> so some wrapped up in like paper. Yeah, it's cool. >> That box is what like this full of

131
00:37:37.839 --> 00:37:54.640
negatives. >> Mhm. >> So given that we know those are there. I wasn't sure what size they are. I think some of them are some of them are small. Some of them are like >> Oh, so they're varying. They're varying

132
00:37:54.640 --> 00:38:11.599
sizes >> cuz if you look at archival materials to um preserve those, they recommend a box with this velara insert, those like foam inserts and then it has you take each

133
00:38:11.599 --> 00:38:25.680
glass negative and you wrap it in a buffered flat enclosure and then you stack it vertically. First of all, those are all being stored >> horizontally, right? Yeah. >> So, they should be stored vertically

134
00:38:25.680 --> 00:38:43.280
with in their enclosure. And um Gaylord had a box that comes with the vol form it looked like. Okay. >> So that they're each they have their own slot that they go into. >> Okay. >> What's a good idea? >> So I looked at prices for those and they

135
00:38:43.280 --> 00:38:58.160
the 4x5 is the smallest you can get and then they have 5 by seven. >> Where do they start at? Um it wasn't it's cheaper than I thought. So the buffered flaps there's 50 for the four I

136
00:38:58.160 --> 00:39:16.800
put 4x5s first. Um for 50 in a pack is $20.95. >> Oh jeez. That's it. Wow. I thought you give me >> I thought Yeah. Me too. >> Yeah. I was surprised for a box. You know their barrier box archival box for

137
00:39:16.800 --> 00:39:42.960
a 4x5 is 32.95. So >> um if you do a 5 by seven the box uh the flaps are 2625 and the box is 3619 >> cuz it's a little bit bigger so it can

138
00:39:42.960 --> 00:39:58.960
fit [clears throat] different >> yeah different sizes and >> you see what we have first and then buy one. Well, I was thinking that um since we know the prices with the you know, if you want to proceed with this, I Sharon and I could

139
00:39:58.960 --> 00:40:14.560
go in and count how many are there and then go ahead and place the order. >> Oh, yeah. Let's do that. They get the money. >> Yeah. Um so, I was thinking we would we could start with one pack of 50. I don't

140
00:40:14.560 --> 00:40:31.599
think there's more than 50. No, I don't think so either because some of them are a little bit bigger than the >> Yeah. Yeah. >> There's only 51 size, >> right? But what total? >> There's There's not that many, I don't think, in there. 50.

141
00:40:31.599 --> 00:40:48.160
>> I don't know. >> Well, it depends like cuz some of them, like I said, are a little bit big. >> It might seem like Well, because of how handy it was, but you know how how full like Oh my god. Like, but that's true. Yeah. So, what >> we'll go in and um

142
00:40:48.160 --> 00:41:04.079
count them and do the measuring, but we will order what we need. And I'm thinking it probably given what the prices are wouldn't exceed $200. >> No. >> But once we get it counted and get the invoice, we can approve that because we have at least

143
00:41:04.079 --> 00:41:21.040
>> we should do that sooner than >> we have the 200, you know, at least [snorts] 200. Yeah. because we have $452 >> and we have to spend because we want to spend it because otherwise >> I know. >> Are you looking for a motion to be made to like

144
00:41:21.040 --> 00:41:36.960
for this purchase to be made after the inventory is done with your approval? >> Yeah. Yeah. >> Do you want us to say to not to exceed a certain cost? >> Yeah. not too excessive. Given that I

145
00:41:36.960 --> 00:41:52.640
figure two boxes, it's the 5x7 20% shipping because we don't pay taxes would probably be like 118. So I said not I would say not to exceed $200 for the glass for the glass

146
00:41:52.640 --> 00:42:08.240
negatives. So then I'll make them I'll make the motion that after inventorying the glass negatives in the vaults at shower impact purchase was necessary to archive the negatives without exceeding $200. >> So moved. Is

147
00:42:08.240 --> 00:42:24.560
>> there a second? >> Second. >> All in favor? >> I very good. Then that'll be done and that'll take out that big box and that's on the first shelf. >> Perfect. I mean the bottom shelf. >> Yeah. >> Yeah.

148
00:42:24.560 --> 00:42:40.560
>> One question that I like with like uh Sh talking about as you were coming in is that is there a way to define literally like what belongs like I was saying like one could argue that the the book of meeting minutes from 70 736

149
00:42:40.560 --> 00:42:56.800
belongs on the town clerk side. How what decides like what's the historical commissions and what's the town clerk's? I think that's a decision between the commission and the town clerk. >> Is that something that we should talk? No, not right now, but like >> Yeah. Right. >> Because like I've been looking at some

150
00:42:56.800 --> 00:43:12.800
of these things that happened walking like what was like >> water district lines >> where I don't know where I saw it was like >> there's some oddity things, you know, and I think that's where we have to look at it and make a determination item by

151
00:43:12.800 --> 00:43:28.079
item. Right. I think that's a good idea. They say burial and dog licenses that doesn't fall under historical commission. >> So like I know it's historic because it's from 1860 but like also looking at like >> so I guess the question

152
00:43:28.079 --> 00:43:43.040
>> standard highway crossing sign from 1927. It's cool. It's historic but does that belong on our side? >> Not on my side. >> Oh that's been something that someone gave to the commission too. We don't know. Oh, that's true.

153
00:43:43.040 --> 00:43:59.359
>> Because a lot of things get donated to the historical commission >> and that's how we've gotten what we have some of that stuff. >> Right. Right. >> So like here's one the blueprints of the blueprint the town hall. >> Right.

154
00:43:59.359 --> 00:44:16.079
>> Given to that could have been given to the commission. >> Correct. >> Oh, I see. So therefore then it is property that Oh, gotcha. So, we kind of got to go through one each thing and just say, okay, does this make sense? Is it a permanent vital record? You know,

155
00:44:16.079 --> 00:44:31.680
what what's the record? If it's meeting minutes, truthfully, it should be under the town clerk, [laughter] >> public welfare bills from 1935, >> right? That's probably that was donated, >> right? Right. >> Because that Yeah, that doesn't make

156
00:44:31.680 --> 00:44:47.839
sense why it would, you know. >> Right. So, I think you have to look at each one and make that determination. >> I didn't I didn't that I'll take my question back now that I realized that some things were donated. That makes a lot more sense now. >> Yeah. Or it could be too that a department didn't need, you know,

157
00:44:47.839 --> 00:45:02.400
legally to hold on to those records anymore. So, they would say away or take them. >> Yeah. Exactly. >> Which makes sense. >> Then that makes sense, too.

158
00:45:02.400 --> 00:45:18.160
>> No. parts that are like 10. We don't destroy records. >> Well, here's a good example. Like, so like >> some records you you can't some records you can after a certain period of time. >> Correct. >> Like so meeting agendas per se. Okay. So

159
00:45:18.160 --> 00:45:33.839
meeting agendas aren't necessarily a permanent record. The minutes of those meetings are permanent records forever, right? So things like that can be but you keep a certain amount of years. Technically they say it could be up to a year but we want to keep

160
00:45:33.839 --> 00:45:49.440
>> So the minutes is incrementally kept in the annual reports. Okay. >> Yeah it's Yes. And there there they will be um and then marriage you know any kind of vital records will be down there um in the vault. There's so many

161
00:45:49.440 --> 00:46:04.960
different things that you know per se would be like the town clerk side that we definitely need to kind of look. So, you know, one thing that like anything that talks about >> I wish but a lot of that stuff the

162
00:46:04.960 --> 00:46:19.760
reason why they say is because it's because you know it's temper temperature controlled fire safe you know downstairs so >> anything can crash you know what I mean and you lose all of that information

163
00:46:19.760 --> 00:46:37.520
that's why it's paper permanent records [snorts] >> because I agree like that's the way to go back Everything on its own site was wiped. >> Mhm. >> But who would have

164
00:46:37.520 --> 00:46:55.359
>> you would be surprised. I mean >> or a global surge where like the whole Bristol County lost all their >> or you know like things get somebody opens up something that is you know like oh all of a sudden they have access to everything and then the people are like

165
00:46:55.359 --> 00:47:13.839
oh no I want $5 million for you to get your access back to all this information. Otherwise >> that does happen. >> It does. >> It might not be it might not be identity to steal money. There's a lot of other reasons like take hostage or you know I'll give you your assets back.

166
00:47:13.839 --> 00:47:28.880
>> Yeah. >> All right. So that's a start. I think that's a good start on that because there is a lot of stuff because there's also those cemetery books that are there. The cemetery cards. Um >> there's polio cards.

167
00:47:28.880 --> 00:47:45.680
>> Polio cards. Um, >> does the library have a micro reader? >> No, >> not the Don. >> No, >> Far River might. >> Somerset does. >> I bet Providence does.

168
00:47:45.680 --> 00:48:03.040
>> They're pretty according to Grock. The older basic desktop models can appear between 1,000 to $5,000, right? >> Oh. [laughter] >> And the and the newer ones between 6 to10,000. That's about That's about the newer ones that we would be Yeah.

169
00:48:03.040 --> 00:48:21.738
>> Okay. [laughter] >> Can we rent yours? >> Can we Home Depot [laughter] and return it? >> Whatever. >> I bought it for a week. I don't need it. I I bought the wrong thing. [laughter]

170
00:48:22.720 --> 00:48:38.559
I I think maybe we find a library that has >> go visit >> pro the fall river might use as a huge library but >> I know >> I bet province will >> any of the mass government agencies like the uh the vault I mean the >> registry of deeds

171
00:48:38.559 --> 00:48:53.040
>> the registry of deeds >> they certainly have to have >> they certainly might ask >> Boston city hall I'm sure does >> Colin might maybe not use them for back here.

172
00:48:53.040 --> 00:49:08.880
>> At least for the days something to look into. Yeah, >> just think of printing. >> Yeah, >> right. Is the right idea. >> Okay, good. Good. So, we're on to report. So, the 250th anniversary

173
00:49:08.880 --> 00:49:28.000
committee continues. [laughter] >> We're going to end the 2026 [laughter] >> Orthodox calendar. when we get to December 31st. [laughter] >> So, um

174
00:49:28.000 --> 00:49:42.960
>> Pat checks into >> Yeah. A eight or [laughter] >> what's going to come first? >> I don't know. The play is on Saturday. 2 PM show is full. So, we still have room in the 6 PM

175
00:49:42.960 --> 00:49:57.680
show. Um >> and it's free, right? >> It's free. >> That's exciting. That's Dayton's 1776 vote for independence. The kids are doing awesome. They're really >> That's awesome. Yeah. >> Um, >> how many kids are participating?

176
00:49:57.680 --> 00:50:24.400
>> We have eight kids and one adult in the cast. [laughter] [laughter] >> So, [laughter] yeah, we had drop out. We had two kids drop out. one we kind of >> one was early on we also based on the the part that she was

177
00:50:24.400 --> 00:50:39.920
spread the lines amongst others and merge it with another part cuz it was like a sea captain you know dwarf person you could do with another person the other one was >> not only was it a little later on was a bigger character the point that like we cannot cut this character cutting out of the play we can't spread the lines out

178
00:50:39.920 --> 00:50:56.960
to the kids that make no sense so I was like >> so Zach stepped up to the plate I love that for you, Zack. >> So, >> I can't wait to come JUST TO WATCH YOU. >> I I DO too because before I knew it was the part I wrote this part to be a Starky little brat.

179
00:50:56.960 --> 00:51:14.480
>> Oh, >> so now I'm like hanging it up now. [laughter] >> So, we have costumes um courtesy of Kathy Potter from Minutemen. Um Cable was here last night working on sound and stuff so it'll be recorded and it looked

180
00:51:14.480 --> 00:51:30.800
really good on camera. It looked really nice all the decorations >> decorations. Are we going to decorate? >> No, we'll probably just They're going to be over here. We'll take those modern sign pictures down and Okay.

181
00:51:30.800 --> 00:51:46.880
>> You know, you kind of have to add to some of the stuff, you know, use your imagination. So, the reenactment clans are coming along. We have um 100 reenactors to give us like three British units and three patriot units.

182
00:51:46.880 --> 00:52:03.119
And those battles will be on the Saturday and Sunday, September 26th and 27th at 2. And Paul River will be there on Sunday the 27th at noon talking about his life. The committee will be at the cow chip

183
00:52:03.119 --> 00:52:19.440
festival and strawberry festival selling coins and militia certificates so you can belong to the Titan militia. It's it's [snorts] a lot of work to serve. >> Yeah. Yep. We're going to call you up. [laughter]

184
00:52:19.440 --> 00:52:37.440
>> That's [snorts] exciting. It is. It >> was I can't wait to >> So CPC approved U Shar's vital record preservation request, >> which is good.

185
00:52:37.440 --> 00:52:53.839
They must preserve these records. I actually just opened up one of the books that we're going to be um redoing and I'm like, "Thank goodness because the pages are like starting to come out and it just looks terrible." So,

186
00:52:53.839 --> 00:53:09.520
>> so >> um and then we reviewed and discussed well I gotten a call about trying to help a a private homeowner with some issues um with their house and of course

187
00:53:09.520 --> 00:53:24.640
there is no grants out there but there are very I couldn't find any grants that help the private um owner most of it is for like nonprofits and public entities um for as far as preservation

188
00:53:24.640 --> 00:53:41.680
It's a um >> 100 Yeah, it's 100 years old. Um and that's always been an issue is like even when you talked about um 2120 Water Street, there was nothing owners to even turn

189
00:53:41.680 --> 00:53:56.720
to, you know, as far as to help them, you know, with with preservation. So, um, I asked the question and Kevin found there are two places in Massachusetts, Springfield and Cambridge, two entirely

190
00:53:56.720 --> 00:54:12.880
different communities that do historic home restoration programs to help private entities funding exterior repairs in line with the secretary interior standards. Um, >> is that this person needs to exterior?

191
00:54:12.880 --> 00:54:29.359
not this particular one but we don't have any program in place so the discussion began about you know should Dyton do this how would we do it you know because there's a lot of details that go to it and a lot of um a lot of

192
00:54:29.359 --> 00:54:44.160
development things but the fact that it's just an initial discussion is good yeah >> that'd be cool >> um so we're you know going to kind of go through it and see if we can develop something to, you know, help some of

193
00:54:44.160 --> 00:55:00.583
those private owners. There's nothing out there. Yeah, we want preservation, but but we're Yeah, >> there's no funding dubtail for like also putting their house [snorts] on an historic register cuz like

194
00:55:00.583 --> 00:55:16.079
[clears throat] by default we kind of have to prove that it would be historically relevant. So that would also help add to our inventory. >> Yeah. Like let's say it was the that the the halfway house. >> It could >> it could have put other I mean >> it could it could have we could have

195
00:55:16.079 --> 00:55:31.920
done something. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> You could have offered something the owner >> took advantage of it or not story but you have something to offer. We have nothing to offer. >> Does it cost the town anything to offer?

196
00:55:31.920 --> 00:55:46.640
>> No through the CPC funding. And then there's like there's a these both have sliding scales and different funding kind of mechanisms and you know all of that the threshold um checking in like you know during the

197
00:55:46.640 --> 00:56:02.160
the work and stuff. Um so you know there were some safeguards that were there. So it's just the beginning discussion I think is one that'll last a while until something is developed that's usable but >> it's a first step. >> Yeah.

198
00:56:02.160 --> 00:56:21.920
So, I I was kind of pleased. Slowly we got [laughter] um we're still waiting for the library building reimbursement of the funding [snorts] from the grant that they got for the HVAC and historical things. So, when we get that reimbursement, then

199
00:56:21.920 --> 00:56:50.640
that money goes back into the two CBC meets again um next week on Thursday. So shout out some of historical historical sharing. I did. So [snorts] I found something super

200
00:56:50.640 --> 00:57:06.240
cool. Um I was going through um some more of my grandfather's things that I um found in my father's room. Um so if you look this is the original. So

201
00:57:06.240 --> 00:57:21.359
it's a book and it's all the story of the mill of Mount Hope and it's basically right before like the the ending pages are like when Milicanin took over. >> So everything is before Yeah. It's super

202
00:57:21.359 --> 00:57:38.799
cool. Um, so I made croppies for everybody and >> how is this not a thing? Like how is this like >> it just all of a sudden? >> Yeah. Like I found it and I was like, "Wow, we were just talking about um

203
00:57:38.799 --> 00:57:54.799
this." And you can see we have here there's the original. >> Look at the picture. >> Oh my god. I've seen an angle, but not if the bleach is like >> Yeah, right. This is probably helpful for uh

204
00:57:54.799 --> 00:58:10.640
>> um That's what I was thinking. >> So, it does talk. So, it does talk a lot about um >> I've showered just found it. Who knows? >> Yeah. Yeah. >> It's It's so cool. >> This looks like Vicky's house.

205
00:58:10.640 --> 00:58:29.520
And it talks a lot about like um Thomas Bailey's um like like how he became like what he did with the mill and things like that and right before like how it passed down and how Milikin actually came to um actually uh own Mount Hope

206
00:58:29.520 --> 00:58:46.880
like yeah so it's really cool. Um so there's a lot of information in here. >> Who's the author of this book? >> Um so I don't know. So, it was donated um to the Fall River Historical Society that um my grandfather got a hold of.

207
00:58:46.880 --> 00:59:03.839
>> Yeah. And um >> Yeah. >> What that means is that the historical society like it's not part of >> their collection. Let it go. >> Yeah. >> Stupid. >> Yeah. So, this is the original and I

208
00:59:03.839 --> 00:59:22.160
thought it was super neat that like >> they made it helpful for a couple things, >> right? >> The street history project I'm working on, but also like I told So I told Pat that like one a future play. I think I want to do

209
00:59:22.160 --> 00:59:39.599
>> I think I want to call it the Milicanin monologues. >> Yeah. >> And have like someone play Milicanin and then some people hide other people. Look, this is like all new information. >> And it actually like talked about like how um they smuggled in from um from

210
00:59:39.599 --> 00:59:53.760
England and stuff like that, like how they smuggled in like some of the the equipment that they didn't want to let go because they they were going back and forth. And it's there's a lot of cool information in

211
00:59:53.760 --> 01:00:10.400
here and how the babies came um to Dyon and how they owned the mill and and um it's almost like a prequel. You're right. >> It's a lot about the wheel. >> Yes. Yes. >> So it's like the end of this

212
01:00:10.400 --> 01:00:27.760
>> it talks about four corners like what it you know what it would be like now what it was like um back then like till now. Um, it has a lot of beautiful go I think I want that. >> Yep. Yep. Talks about Nathaniel Wheeler.

213
01:00:27.760 --> 01:00:42.480
Um, >> so it ends on page 18 >> and it just end that little flower thing. There's no like author like >> No. >> So you you have no idea not your person there's no record of >> that's that's all I have. Yeah. that the use

214
01:00:42.480 --> 01:00:58.799
>> and how it it was just mentioned to Joseph Milligan when he was in college like hey you should do this >> and like how it how he became like >> so the trademark is now finishing something so I wonder if this was

215
01:00:58.799 --> 01:01:13.920
something that was written internally and passed out >> maybe collective effort >> to read it and see what the tote is if it's very proil There is glorified chances if I was >> but and and it's kind of cool because it

216
01:01:13.920 --> 01:01:31.440
you know there's um >> it'd be great to cross reference this with the history of Dyon writing to see like what you know what like oh that is what we have like that's not what happened. >> I mean look at the pictures like >> I mean the baseball one is like amazing

217
01:01:31.440 --> 01:01:47.359
>> right? >> Yeah. >> Yeah. And that's just a copy. This is >> Dark Titan. So I wonder on like the page. >> See how like nice these pictures look. >> Look at that. Like in the original.

218
01:01:47.359 --> 01:02:08.640
>> So this is the park on the street. That's after he moved houses and everything. >> Where was that? >> Is that the um the box company? So it will it says it >> baseball where that was

219
01:02:08.640 --> 01:02:39.079
>> house baseball. I've seen like the picture of that building before from the other side but never with the baseball field. Maybe it's an artifact in baseball. Then there's this >> not no not the one on school. No,

220
01:02:40.319 --> 01:02:57.599
>> like a better picture than Yeah, cuz I make copies. >> Oh yeah, it does. >> But when I found it, I was like, "Oh my gosh, how cool is that?" We were just talking about Mal Hope, >> but what a coincidence, too. >> Yeah. >> So, what do you have to get a box of stuff? So what is this thing opposite

221
01:02:57.599 --> 01:03:13.760
opposite? >> That's the park. >> What is this? >> The park opposite the plan grass field or that's that's park that's frame street. >> That's park street. Sorry. >> I think it's just the way the shadows are maybe. Or is that a walkway? That's

222
01:03:13.760 --> 01:03:28.480
a walk. >> That's a walkway. That's grass. >> Yeah. >> What did Patre stand? >> Oh, they mentioned Pearl Street. They mention um the four corners. What do you think these houses are?

223
01:03:28.480 --> 01:03:45.440
Do any of those look familiar specifically? >> Those we have to put them here, but I would imagine >> that one like I don't like that one. I don't recognize that one, but some Yeah, these look like duplexes or something. Maybe that's a wood store. Maybe that

224
01:03:45.440 --> 01:04:03.680
one. I don't know. >> But that looks like a look >> huge. Too bad they're not labeled better. >> I know. Wow. >> Yep. And there's a lot of stuff um about

225
01:04:03.680 --> 01:04:18.640
who owned it before, who was a treasure, who was this, who was that. Like there's a lot of people in this. It's >> this right here looks familiar. >> Okay. Because when I was trying to find the origin of Chase Street, [clears throat]

226
01:04:18.640 --> 01:04:34.000
not in Herd, but there's another Crystal County history book that talked about this guy because I did did research that Azariah and Jur living at the old Bailey's homestead. >> Yep.

227
01:04:34.000 --> 01:04:51.039
>> Talks about Oliver Chase a Chase. I've seen this segment before. >> That's what I was saying. It's that this all beforehand I never seen be the before I always like you know whenever we talk about Mount Hope I always just

228
01:04:51.039 --> 01:05:11.000
>> No this exact excerpt those words were I've seen that before but like not all the other stuff. >> Yeah that's the wolf from Bristol right? >> Yeah. Yep. >> I hope I have it in order. Oh, this is that.

229
01:05:11.359 --> 01:05:27.200
>> So, where's that? This Wait, where's the book that you found? >> This this was this was with it. So, they obviously made >> you found it. You found it already in part. >> Yeah, I already found this like this. >> Oh,

230
01:05:27.200 --> 01:05:42.480
>> Fall River Historical Society. >> I did not want to put that through anything, >> right? So it looks like it might first came or fast hands to the Fall River Historical Society. This bets Bessie Bordon. >> So

231
01:05:42.480 --> 01:05:59.760
>> Bessie Bordon donates this to >> River Fall River Historical Society. Then in 1993 they assessed they don't want it in their collection anymore. Oh, she g she gave it then. She gave back.

232
01:05:59.760 --> 01:06:16.240
>> I don't know. It was in 1939. We [laughter] >> didn't exist then. >> She donated it then. December 1939. >> She to. >> Yeah. Yeah. Because the art society didn't come to existence until 1962.

233
01:06:16.240 --> 01:06:38.166
>> Wow. That's quite fascinating. >> That's super cool. >> Yeah. I thought so. Yeah, I was randomly going through some of my all the >> Yeah, I was like, "Oh, what's in this folder?"

234
01:06:38.166 --> 01:07:01.400
[laughter] >> So, the dinosaur decided to be 65 years old next year. >> Yeah. It talks about how um babies came um over from England and you know what how he started and

235
01:07:02.640 --> 01:07:29.920
>> price paid was $3,468. Wow. >> What was that going to today? Yeah. And Mr. Bailey's warehouse was moved up against the new mill as an um so uh for his machinery

236
01:07:29.920 --> 01:07:50.400
uh to be installed and the cottages. They talk about the cottages and things. Yeah. But um Oh, so now they're talking about the daisies. Now I have to do a little genealogy here. >> I know, right? [laughter] >> It's a rabbit hole, right? Because I've

237
01:07:50.400 --> 01:08:11.359
never even heard like, you know, myth like wheeler. Okay. Yeah, we knew. Um Yep. And um how it was advised that Joseph uh Milikin on leaving college in 1895 to go with the Dill Company. Um and

238
01:08:11.359 --> 01:08:25.839
then that on one Sunday afternoon or something they just talked about hey you know >> let's [laughter] you should take you should take over. >> Yes. And yeah it says one day in the

239
01:08:25.839 --> 01:08:42.319
winter of 1900 to 1901 after the old cotton mill in North Don. So, um, yeah, they just randomly were talking about it and he was like he he was like, "hm, you should take over." [laughter]

240
01:08:42.319 --> 01:08:57.679
>> That's a great idea. >> It's all about the water and the river. >> Yes, it really was. >> That's why they Yeah. And being in the right spot at the right time. >> Train trash were there, too. >> Everything was going well until the unit destroyed it.

241
01:08:57.679 --> 01:09:13.679
>> The only thing that >> was one part of the store, >> right? [laughter] It was a perfect storm. That was one part. >> The only thing they were really missing was like significant waterfront access, >> right? >> Could you imagine if they had >> Yeah. >> They would have been It would have been

242
01:09:13.679 --> 01:09:29.839
like that. >> This whole development of the area would be totally like imagine if they had like total access to the open >> and it was cool like what if you didn't Yeah. >> on that Sunday afternoon. >> Yeah. And then it was kind of cool how they mentioned too like how a lot of

243
01:09:29.839 --> 01:09:46.000
that machinery and everything like that they had to smuggle over and um in some of their ships just to bring here to New England English people. >> Yeah. >> It says it included many Englishmen who gained their acquaintance with the

244
01:09:46.000 --> 01:10:01.840
bleach and diamond finishing of fabrics before they left England. >> Yeah. Yeah. But before that, there was a big thing that they didn't want anybody to have access to that like the two those machine like like to be able to do

245
01:10:01.840 --> 01:10:18.480
what we can do now. But >> it's super cool. >> I [laughter] was like, oh, I was like this. >> The connotation of that word privilege. >> Oh, see it means like literally being allowed to use something and have something. But like what what is funny

246
01:10:18.480 --> 01:10:33.679
these days? >> Yeah. I mean fishing privileges and like but like you should just keep looking at your kid. I was having you there so long. This was just a boulder and I was like, >> so imagine what else could be there.

247
01:10:33.679 --> 01:10:51.600
>> I was like cuz I started going through my dad's room, you know, and I was like, >> the Wellington the Wellington meeting minutes. What the [laughter] >> He's giving that stuff. I don't know. >> My dad didn't even know that this

248
01:10:51.600 --> 01:11:07.600
existed. I was like, okay. >> Oh dear. It obviously hasn't been looked at in a long time as you can see. >> That's just Yeah, >> that's cool. >> Yeah. So, a little bit of light reading.

249
01:11:07.600 --> 01:11:24.159
>> It's also This is interesting too in one volume. This is from the early stages of finding the Dor Titan almost like was there at the time of writing what I think it was in the a volume two from the next stages that subtitle

250
01:11:24.159 --> 01:11:41.040
intriguing. Why call it one volume? This is going to be a one and done. Why call something one volume? >> I wonder if the Gray and Beauty would be considered like the second because Gray and Beauty was really a um publicity. >> Is that the one? I haven't seen that one

251
01:11:41.040 --> 01:11:56.400
anywhere. >> No. Um I have one. The society has one, I think. Um No, they're very hard to find. Um so I wonder if that was kind of like the second. Would that would that have been part would that have picked up off?

252
01:11:56.400 --> 01:12:16.239
>> I don't know because that talks about their production and everything. >> Right. >> Oh, I just love this hope. We have all the time, you know, you could tell us a year from now when we were done talking about Mount Hope or a year ago and we were really talking about Mount Hope. Yeah.

253
01:12:16.239 --> 01:12:31.360
>> Yeah. >> Maybe we should reenact the foundation. >> Sorry, I'm alive, buddy. Sorry. [laughter] It look like Joseph. >> I will for thank you Shar. >> Yeah, I will keep looking through my

254
01:12:31.360 --> 01:12:47.360
>> Okay, interest me to know about this. Just bring the boxes here. >> So, the history alliance conference, they want you to register for it. Um but I can't find any listing of workshops

255
01:12:47.360 --> 01:13:03.600
still that you know it says that like a small to mighty you know >> centered like on you know the 250th and all that but they're not listing any workshops or like seminars because last time we went they had

256
01:13:03.600 --> 01:13:19.920
signed up for because that's how we determined whether we were going to go we thought by now they would have >> Yeah. Especially since it was this time that But I haven't seen anything. >> I personally don't personally don't want a volunteer to go all the way out there to not even know if you don't

257
01:13:19.920 --> 01:13:37.440
>> exactly know what they're really going to talk about. Right. >> It could >> or if there's a way to like like sign up and then get the money back if it was like closer like sure why not but like all the way up there. I'm not out there to find out something I want.

258
01:13:37.440 --> 01:13:53.440
No, I I think it's really poor that you don't you don't give an idea >> this year this year too. You think they would have tons of stuff already or or always at least some like highlights and they don't know the full schedule like

259
01:13:53.440 --> 01:14:06.880
hour by hour but >> you can't you can't even give us we know in one afternoon we're going to be doing for a couple hours this >> and I know that's part of the reason why we were a little hesitant to spend you know the money because it's $125 a

260
01:14:06.880 --> 01:14:24.000
person so two people to go plus travel you know >> you could go all about farm houses like oh okay like talking about interesting that I wouldn't gone if I do that, you know, like >> right. >> No, if we're going to spend money on something, it has to be >> know where it is. >> Then you have to know you have to know

261
01:14:24.000 --> 01:14:38.941
what it is, >> right? >> Yeah. For me, it's not. But >> I mean, I clicked on everything I could think of to see if I could get the second pop up. >> Anyone contact anybody there questions, reach out to

262
01:14:38.941 --> 01:14:55.520
[snorts] >> um >> you publish the keynote speaker. >> Yeah, the keynote speaker. That's it. >> So, >> and then they ask you to register. >> It's like what do you Yes, exactly. What do you

263
01:14:55.520 --> 01:15:08.480
>> What is the program? What is your agenda? I mean, I don't know. >> I think it's very unorganized to not have something. >> I wonder I wonder if like >> is there a number or anything that you

264
01:15:08.480 --> 01:15:30.560
can see up? I'm sorry. Let me see. I would say the contact information or or or general for questions email like a generic no name attached there's a generic thing that stuff >> that's weird of all the years that I'm

265
01:15:30.560 --> 01:15:47.360
like >> for that dollar amount too what directors [snorts] I don't see links to >> is there a Facebook account that it is posted there. >> Nothing whatsoever.

266
01:15:47.360 --> 01:16:03.840
>> That's crazy. >> Scam. [laughter] >> If we find out different, it is June 12th. >> Um, >> but at this point in time, >> what is the deadline to sign up? >> You can sign up right before they have their early bird. I forget when their
