Continued review of plans for Whately Center walking tour: Judy and Susan both commented that the draft Ashlee wrote for the tour was excellent, providing great information in an engaging narrative tone. Ashlee believes it needs more work to unify the descriptions and to add the text for Town Hall. Judy organized the sections to start with the Milk Bottle and head south on the east side of the street and then cross at the church and proceed north on the west side of the street. The tour ends at the cemetery and Ashlee suggested inviting those on the tour to look around the cemetery for names mentioned during the tour. Judy shared a few pieces of history to consider including and will send Ashlee notes. Judy will send Ashlee the PowerPoint presentation relating to the history of Town Hall. Judy suggested reworking the end of the section on the Stockade to include a mention of native populations inhabiting this area. Judy will sent Ashlee addresses for the selected buildings.
