From a car show in Georgetown. It's kind of a monthly event and only lasts for a couple hours. Where as the cars were very cool and wide variety to look at, that is not my real interest. I am more interested in the gadgets and neat ornaments that you find on the car. So there are no pictures of the cars themselves. There are a couple of really old Harley's here as well.
This overgrown path through the woods is all that remains of what was once the junction between two B&M lines in Georgetown, MA.

Foundation stone 17 Nov 1909 by Mrs C C King, opened 3 Apr 1910, Sunday school 1953, final service 24 Feb 2002, sold.
First church foundation stone 2 Jul 1874 by Miss Hendry, opened 25 Oct 1874, octagonal, closed & demolished 1909.
“the foundation-stone of the Baptist Chapel was laid by Miss Hendry, who can claim being the first young lady resident at Georgetown, Mr. Hendry having settled here with his family when all things were in a most primitive state. The day being unfortunately cold and wet, the gathering was small; but in the evening a tea meeting and concert in aid of the building was better attended.” [Chronicle & Weekly Mail 25 Jul 1874]
“Scarcely any one will pass through Georgetown without knowing something about the Baptist Chapel . . . Octagonal in shape, with walls about 14 feet high, no windows, and a lantern light in the centre of the roof, it is bound to attract attention; and while a prejudiced person will see but little to admire, an impartial judge will admit that it may very possibly have many excellencies. The only other place of worship is a neat Reman Catholic Chapel, and the only school is one conducted by the Sisters of St. Joseph, who have a partly-finished schoolhouse.“ [Register 3 Nov 1875]
“P. Murrie applied for use of hall for religious services while the new Baptist church was being built; granted at 3s per Sunday.” [Northern Argus 9 Apr 1909]
“foundation-stone of the new Baptist Church was laid by Mrs. C. C. King, one of the foundation members of the church in this district. There was a large crowd present. The Rev. T. Vigis gave a history of the old church building, which has now been demolished.” [Chronicle 27 Nov 1909]
“The old building, which was used for upwards of 35 years, has been taken down, and a handsome new Gothic structure has been erected in the main street, opposite to the Bank of Adelaide. The honour of opening the new building was given to the Rev. J. G. Raws, pastor of Unley Park Church. . . . The building — which has a handsome front, with two towers and a commodious porch, with leaded light windows . . . with a large schoolroom at the rear.” [Register 16 Apr 1910]
Clover Hill Baptist church.
Built 1875 on land given by William Thomson, porch 1885, final service Oct 1959, demolished 1969.
“At Clover Hill, about three miles north-east of Georgetown, a ‘comfortable place' had been provided, which would seat 120 persons. The congregations were good and a Sunday-school had been started. No attempt had been made to form a Baptist Church, as ‘there was not one Baptist In the neighbourhood’.” [Evening Journal 14 Apr 1875]
“Baptist . . . A branch of the Georgetown Church has been formed at Clover Hill.” [Advertiser 14 Oct 1875]
“Combined jubilee celebrations of the Baptist Churches of Georgetown and Clover Hill were held from Sunday until Tuesday. In 1875 these two churches held- their first service, the first minister being the Rev. D. Badger.” [Chronicle 8 Aug 1925]
