Birthplace of Lowell Mason on the Move

The birthplace of Lowell Mason, prominent in early public music education, is literally being moved. The entire house. I love historical preservationists. Read article linked for a picture and more info.

Advocates of historical preservation followed the slow pace of a 300-year-old house on April 19, as the birthplace of Lowell Mason — the founder of American public school music education — was gently transported from a site slated for development to a new spot in town."
