Ell
Pond Route: Green Level, handicap accessible |
|
This route begins at the Ell Pond gazebo on Main Street. This Victorian Gazebo was built in 1984, dedicated to a founder of the Melrose Victorian Society named Gerry Nadel. You will also see the memorial to war veterans facing Main Street along the side of the pond with the benches facing the water. Continue around Ell Pond (using either streets or the pathway along the waterside). The knoll is also a war memorial. It was named Memorial Park on Armistice Day, 1921. Now it is a memorial to veterans of all foreign wars. |
