  • Myth and Memory: the Legacy of the John Hancock House

Vice Provost for Graduate and Professional Education ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Every Massachusetts schoolchild walks Boston’s Freedom Trail and learns the story of the Hancock house. Its demolition served as a rallying cry for early preservationists and students of historic preservation study its importance. Having been both a Massachusetts schoolchild and student of historic preservation, this project has inspired and challenged me for the past nine months. To begin, I must thank those who came before me who studied the objects and legacy of the Hancock house. I am greatly indebted to the research efforts of Henry Ayling Phillips (1852- 1926) and Harriette Merrifield Forbes (1856-1951). Their research notes, at the American Antiquarian Society in Worcester, Massachusetts served as the launching point for this project. This thesis would not have been possible without the assistance and guidance of my thesis adviser, Brock Jobe.

Preface In 1979, the Annual Town Meeting created the 350th Anniversary Celebration Committee, charged with designing an appropriate celebration of Watertown’s 350th birthday. The names of the members of the Committee are printed elsewhere in this booklet. The Committee has planned a Homecoming Ball, a mammoth parade, regattas, a picnic, and a party honoring the descendants of the town’s founders to take place at the Gore Estate during the anniversary year. During the month of June, 1980, the Selectmen will proclaim a month of official celebration in which everyone can participate. School, libraries, churches, town organization, civic groups, and local businesses will all share in some phase of the festivities. The Committee, desiring some permanent record of this important date in Watertown’s history to stand for future generations, asked Charles Burke, well-known local historian and long-time trustee of the Watertown Free Public Library, to write a short history of the Town. Watertown, the first inland town to be settled in Massachusetts, sent many of its sons and daughters forth to found other cities and towns. Watertown thus became known as “ The Mother Town.” We are proud of her history. The Committee thanks Charles Burke for his contribution to our 350th Anniversary Celebration, and hopes that Watertown’s sons and daughters enjoy reading this account of the growth and development of their home town.

    VOL. 116 - NO. 47 BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS, NOVEMBER 23, 2012 $.30 A COPY 10th Annual Trellis Lighting at Christopher Columbus Park The Old-Fashioned Thanksgiving by Edgar Albert Guest, 1881-1959 It may be I am getting old and like too much to dwell Upon the days of bygone years, the days I loved so well; But thinking of them now I wish somehow that I could know A simple old Thanksgiving Day, like those of long ago, When all the family gathered round a table richly spread, With little Jamie at the foot and grandpa at the head, The youngest of us all to greet the oldest with a smile, With mother running in and out and laughing all the while. It may be I’m old-fashioned, but it seems to me today We’re too much bent on having fun to take the time to pray; Each little family grows up with fashions of its own; It lives within a world itself and wants to be alone. It has its special pleasures, its circle, too, of friends; There are no get-together days; each one his journey wends, Pursuing what he likes the best in his particular way, Letting the others do the same upon Thanksgiving Day. I like the olden way the best, when relatives were glad To meet the way they used to do when I was but a lad; The old home was a rendezvous for all our kith and kin, And whether living far or near they all came trooping in With shouts of “Hello, daddy!” as they fairly stormed the place And made a rush for mother, who would stop to wipe her face Upon her gingham apron before she kissed them all, (Photo by Matt Conti) Hugging them proudly to her breast, the grownups and the small.
