OF THIS FLAG – STILL FLYING FREE
(A note of thanks to Chris and Yvette who for 4 years published the famous July 4th “Flag Count” for various streets and sections of the town.)
And The Water Runs Through It – Part II
The waterflows in Holliston on the west side of Highland St. are a little easier to understand than those of the east side of town. It is helpful to remember that our town has a north/south backbone of five hills – our own little “Continental Divide.”

And the Water Runs Through It
For decades, I drove the town roads – and the “water” was Lake Winthrop, Factory Pond or perhaps the Bogastow Brook. A beautiful threesome, but rather limited given the rich web of water that runs through our town. In the last five years, with the Holliston Rail Trail completed, I have been able to open my eyes to the extensive waterway network that flows throughout all corners of our town.
