Thank you Natick Historical Society for highlighting the background of our fence and current restoration project!

Thanks to support from the Natick Community Preservation Fund, this historic fence around what is now the Bacon Free Library building will be restored section by section this spring. Iterations of the fence date back to the 1840s. The land remains today, as it has long been, Nipmuc homelands and a sacred site for descendants of the Nipmucs, Massachusetts, and Praying Indians who lived here in the 1600s and early 1700s. The alternating cross and arrow motifs in the fence reference the history of the Praying Town of Natick established in 1651. The fence was last restored in 1970.

Congratulations Bacon Free Library on the restoration. We can't wait to see the fence refreshed!
