GEO CACHING UPDATE AT THE CRISPUS ATTUCKS BRIDGE

While I was taking photos of the bridge and the historical signage, I was asked if I was here to find the geo cache. This is a super cool location to have a geo cache because it can bring more attention to the story about the bridge and the information that is on the plaque with the commemorative and historical information about Crispus Attucks.

The Crispus Attucks Bridge: Framingham

The sign reads…..

Crispus Attucks Bridge

Crispus Attucks, runaway slave and patriot hero
was born c. 1723 of an African father and a mother
from the Praying Indian Village of Natick.

Crispus Attucks worked and lived near this bridge
until he escaped in 1750 in search of his own freedom.

On March 5, 1770 it became known that
Crispus Attucks was the first to die in the
Boston Massacre, an event which initiated America’s
struggle for independence from the British Rule.
