PUBLICK OCCURRENCES — MARCH 02, 2020
The Postcard competition was won by the OLD COLONY HISTORY MUSEUM
Competition was fierce, voting got pretty hot, three groups were definitely rallying their troops. A total of 1948 votes were cast. In the end Old Colony History Museum won the contest with 565 votes. Runners-up were the Wayside Inn and the Stoneham Historical Commission with 498 and 478 votes, respectively. We thought all the entries were terrific.
