Bill > H3711

This bill requires the Massachusetts Department of Transportation's highway division to install and maintain a roadside marker on both northbound and southbound lanes of Route 3 that identifies Marshfield as the home of two historically significant Massachusetts figures: Senator Daniel Webster, a prominent 19th-century statesman known for his powerful oratory and advocacy for national preservation, and Governor Edward Winslow, an early colonial leader. The marker must meet the department's established design and placement standards. The bill is being treated as an emergency measure, which means it would go into effect immediately upon passage, with the stated rationale that delaying implementation would undermine the bill's purpose of commemorating these local historical figures. By designating Marshfield with this marker, the legislation aims to highlight the town's historical importance and recognize the significant contributions of Webster and Winslow to Massachusetts and American history.
