The letters cut into this granite stone, B 6 M, most likely give the distance to Boston, six miles away, the kind of marker that once guided travelers along the region's main roads. Stones like this were set beside turnpikes and town ways in the late 1700s and 1800s, when Boston was the center of trade and travel for the towns to its south. Many were cut from local granite and have weathered for generations, so the shallow, worn letters are worth a close look. The stone offers a plain record of how distances were once measured, long before road signs with directions became standard.
