~ Building East Bridgewater Community One Positive Story at a Time
|
|
EB Community Gardens beautiful Harvest Festival last weekend! Many visitors came and sampled the fresh, organic vegetables and flowers that were grown here in the gardens.
Approx. 500 lbs of fresh produce have been donated to St. John's St. Vincent DePaul & Union Congregational's Food Pantries grown in EB's Community Gardens this season.
One of the highlights was Dennis Pierce's flute and singing & George Lopes playing the guitar and harmonica while strolling about the Festival. We thank both musicians for volunteering their talents.

Historical Tidbit: RR Station
The train station, built in 1914, was on West Union St., and from there, a person could get from East Bridgewater to Whitman or Brockton and all the way into Boston.
EB men left from there to serve in WWI and WWII, as well as commute to work each day. In Sept 1917, the local band, and townspeople met on West Union to send off all those who were drafted. Students were let out of school to participate.
