Dighton Historical Commission advances preservation projects with formal votes. The five-member commission, led by Chair Patricia Gailes, voted to support the Community Preservation Committee's vital records digitization project covering six historic vital record books. Commissioners approved plans for a formal presentation of the Catherine Yelle commemorative plaque at a Board of Selectmen meeting and discussed the expanded Mt.
Hope National Register nomination, now encompassing 27 properties. Members also agreed to commission a custom time capsule from a local carpenter rather than purchase a pre-made option, with a goal to seal the capsule by year-end.
