HISTORIC DISTRICT / HERITAGE COMMISSION
JANUARY 14, 1999


HERITAGE COMMISSION


  1. Comments on Bergeron subdivision, 32 Mammouth Road (14-A-900): the Commission requests that the proposed name "Cobblestone Road" be replaced with a name that reflects the history of the area. Suggestions are Marden (Soloman Marden settled there in 1827) or Blanchard, also an early settler. It is also requested that existing stone walls be retained wherever possible.
  2. Planning Director, Mr. Turner has asked the Commission to add suggestions to the proposed list of names for Windham roads and streets. Suggestions to be submitted are: Nutfield; Witch Hazel; Corliss; Tannery; Brickyard; Fletcher's Corner. The Commission would appreciate any information on the origin of the name "Fletcher's Corner" that townspeople might have!
  3. The Commission also feels that the name of the discontinued Dark Entry Schoolhouse Road not be lost when and if that area is developed
