Stow's 2010 Perambulation

Overview, Law and Historical References

MGL Chapter 42 Section 2 requires two of the selectmen (or their designated alternates) of each town to visit each boundary marker every 5 years. Greg Troxel and Ross Perry have been appointed designees under the law, and so each bound must be visited by some two of the 5 selectmen and 2 designees.

Perambulation Data

See the very thorough 2005 Perambulation Report by Ross Perry.

See a map of Stow, showing MassGIS town boundary data (townssurvey data set) overlaid on OpenStreetMap data. Red circles are MassGIS town corners derived from state law, and green circles are GPS observations taken during the 2005 perambulation.

Schedule

Scheduling is proving tricky so far. If you are interested, please join the list or watch this web page. Or, email me with a phone number. If we cancel due to weather there will simply not be anybody at town building.

Perambulation is next scheduled for TBD from TBD 9 am to noon. Meet at Town Building parking lot at 9 am.

Completed Outings

The team visited bounds on Saturday, April 24.
