The stone marker here carries the numeral 10, and the small plaque beside it was placed by the Quincy Historical Society to explain what it is. Milestones like this one were set along old roads to show travelers their distance from a reference point, usually a town center or major city, so the number here points to a road measured from a distant starting place. Quincy has many such roads, and the society's plaque helps visitors connect this worn stone to the travel and settlement patterns that shaped the South Shore.
