In answer to wh...Wonderful blog and great photos! <br /><br />In answer to what will happen to honor our Civil War soldiers and the 300th Anniversary of Abington, MA, a subcommittee has been created and is run by Robyn Fernald of Abington. <br />I am also serving on the committee as a member of the 22nd MA Volunteer Infantry, Co.D. - US Sanitary Commission - Boston Branch who will be running a Civil War encampment the weekend of September 21-23, 2012.<br />There will be Union and Confederate units there at the event, many of whom belong to the Rockland GAR Hall.<br /><br /> The Arch Ceremony will be on Sept 22. Details are still being ironed out. It is my hope to recreate some small parts of the grand procession Mr. Hobarth (town historian) wrote about when North, East, South and Abington proper celebrated the end of the war.<br /><br />If you are interested in more information about us, here are some links thru Facebook<br />Island Grove Encampment Event:<br /> https://www.facebook.com/events/182123475221746/<br /><br />22nd MA Vol. Infantry Co.
