Historical Tidbit:
Edison Plant on Spring St.
|
The old entrance road to Edison's power plant on Spring Street can still be seen. About 1945 the tower was deconstructed.
In those days, the whistle blew each night at 7 pm. EB Historian, Margaret Alexander remembers... "We kids hated that whistle. It meant it was time to stop playing with our friends and come home each night."

Get Your Grants Ready East Bridgewater Artists!
Mass Cultural Council's Local Cultural Council (LCC) Program is the largest grassroots cultural funding network in the nation supporting thousands of community-based projects in the arts, humanities, and sciences annually. Each year, LCCs award more than $3 million in grants. Currently, there are 329 local and regional councils that represent all 351 cities and towns in the Commonwealth, these councils are local volunteers, approving grants for local arts & culture projects.
Applicants may apply to the LCC Program for projects, operating support, ticket subsidy programs, artist residencies, fellowships or other activities, based on local priorities and needs. LCCs may also choose to fund cultural field trips for children, grades pre-K through 12, by subsidizing the cost for children to attend programs in the arts, humanities and interpretive sciences (including performances, educational tours and exhibits).
The LCC application process can be quite competitive. Because of the large number of requests and the limited funds available for regranting, many LCCs receive far more applications than they can fully, or even partially, fund. Average grants tend to be modest ($500-$750).

The East Bridgewater Police and Fire Departments 9/11 Memorial Service
|
|
|
East Bridgewater native and Secret Service Master Officer Craig Miller who died in New York City on Sept. 11, 2001, at the World Trade Center while rendering aid was remembered. Our East Bridgewater Memorial, originally dedicated on Sept. 11, 2016, was built in honor of Secret Service Master Officer Miller. The memorial includes a metal beam from the World Trade Center wreckage. It was built through the volunteer efforts of Joel Thomas, Robert DiFazio, Tim Sands, the Kiwanis Club and many other volunteers. At this year’s ceremony, resident Robert DiFazio and his family dedicated a new flag pole and flag to the memorial site.
Secret Service Master Officer Miller’s family was present for the ceremony and then attended the annual 9/11 State House memorial service in Boston. “This memorial serves as a reminder of the personal connection our community has to that day and we are honored that Secret Service Master Officer Miller’s family were able to join us at the ceremony this year,” Chief Allen said.
“We are proud to host this service each year in honor of Secret Service Master Officer Miller and all of the victims of 9/11,” Chief Harhen said. “We encourage everyone to take a few moments on Sept. 11th to remember and honor those who lost their lives that day.”
