One of Casey's routine walkabouts in Fairhaven takes us down Harris Avenue toward the Ferry Terminal and eventually to Marine Park. More than a few times we soak up a little historical context designated by granite plaques that tell the story of Fairhaven's past, sordid and otherwise.
While maybe not on a par with Boston's Freedom Trail, these markers point to another time and place of speculation far beyond nostalgia.
I'm with Casey though on this 1901 marker (below).
Who could say President McKinley only buggied past here?
And who would really care anyway?
