The exhibit will continue every Sunday afternoon from September 11 thru December 11 from 1 P.M. thru 4 P.M. with free admission. The exhibit will show by photographs and documents the history of the Turnpike in Saugus from its 1803 construction to the present, showing some of the early Saugus homes, the major 1930s divided highway and overpass construction, and the development thru the 1940s and later of the Strip.

Tours of the house on the hour from 11am-4pm An opportunity to see inside this c. 1687 house built for the young family of William Boardman, a local joiner, this house has survived remarkably intact since its construction. Interesting features that were discovered include a wall of original 17th century oak clapboards that are visible from the lean-to attic, ceilings on the upper floor that were never plastered, and a portion of skirt board that once finished the rear wall of the house. With the exception of minor structural stabilization and repairs, the house has since gone unaltered, providing a great opportunity to view 17th and 18th century construction techniques and finishes.

In addition to musical selections, reflections, and readings, there will be a collection taken for the Salvation Army's assistance to the victims of Hurricane Katrina. All are welcome; those attending are asked to bring their own candles. The vigil is a joint service of the Saugus Veterans Council and Clergy Association.
