[*BCM*] This Saturday: Somerville History Bicycle Tour

[Ron Newman]

Join the Somerville Bicycle Committee and the Somerville Historic  
Preservation Commission for a bicycle tour of historical sights  
around Somerville.   This year's ride will focus on the many commuter  
rail stations that Somerville once had, and on the Green Line  
stations that will soon take their place.

The ride starts at Somerville City Hall, 93 Highland Avenue, at 10 am  
this Saturday, May 31.  We'll take about three hours to ride about  
seven miles, stopping along the way at railroad-related sites and at  
such historic landmarks as the Prospect Hill Tower and the Old Powder  
House.    The ride will end at the Somerville Museum, where we'll  
enjoy refreshments and an exhibit of the Somerville Preservation Awards.

Rain date is Sunday, June 1, same time and starting location.   For  
more information, e-mail rnewman at thecia.net or call 617-628-8895.

We will ask for a voluntary $3 donation to support the activities of  
the Somerville Historic Preservation Commission.
