Restoring Massachusetts' 1930 Tercentenary Signs
2022
Overview
Most, however, marked the site of an alleged and seemingly unprovoked attack or other atrocity inflicted upon innocent colonists. [...]instead of creating an opportunity to re-envision the past, the MassDOT decided to refurbish these signs, giving these historical distortions a new lease on life. The final cost of the restoration was apprximately$10,000 per sign. Because each sign required such fastidious hand-detail to restore, labor costs were the primary expenditure. According to Maurice Cassidy, founder and owner of Cassidy Bros. blacksmith shop, the cost to crreate new cast iron molds for new signs could be upwards of $ 20,000 per sign.
