Traces Some past events offer the historians who study them an embarrassment of riches. The archives of a successful company or an influential US president can easily fill a building, and distilling them into an authoritative book can consume decades. Other events leave behind only the barest traces—scraps and fragments of records, fleeting references by contemporary observers, and shadows thrown on other events of the time—and can be reconstructed only with the aid of inference, imagination, and ingenuity.

    Town of Holliston Massachusetts Conservation Lands in Holliston 2009

    Town of Holliston Massachusetts Conservation Lands in Holliston 2009 © Holliston Conservation Associates, 2009 INTRODUCTION The Holliston Conservation Commission (HCC) has been entrusted with the care of the many Conservation Lands that have been donated by interested town citizens or have been purchased with monies from the Conservation Fund, State Self-Help, and Community Preservation Act. The parcels are located throughout Holliston and range in size from less than one acre to over 400 acres. This land is available at any time to all town residents for their enjoyment. By law, the land can only be used for "passive recreation", which includes hiking, skiing and picnicking. There are a few rules that govern its use: please pick up after your visit, keep the area clean and do not disturb wildlife, animals or vegetation. Open fires or overnight stays are not allowed without prior permission. If you would like to camp overnight, please contact the Conservation Commission. Fishing is allowed on all parcels, where appropriate, and is subject to state regulations. Hunting is prohibited on all conservation land. The use of motorized vehicles (i.e. ATV's, trail bikes, motorcycles, snowmobiles, etc.) is strictly prohibited on all conservation land . The historical information in this brochure was adapted to a great extent from the "Holliston, Massachusetts 250 Anniversary Commemorative Booklet" that was written by Dorothy Rees and published by the Holliston 250th Anniversary Committee in 1974. In 2009, it was updated jointly by the Holliston Conservation Associates and the Conservation Agent. Publication of this map was made possible with the generous donation of Joseph Cohen, former chairperson of the Holliston Conservation Commission.
