Great Blue Hill in Milton, Massachusetts, has an elevation of 635 feet (193 m), is located within the Blue Hills Reservation, and is the highest point in the Boston area.

Edison Illuminating Company
Mike1989 (VirtualGlobetrotting)
By: Mike1989.
Greenfield Village’s Edison Illumination Company, built in Greenfield Village in 1944, is a partial reconstruction, one-quarter size, of Station A, the first of the Edison Illuminating Company’s early power plants in Detroit Station and one the first electric power plant in the city of Detroit. Station A served Detroit customers with safe and inexpensive direct current (DC) electrical power for homes and businesses from 1886 to 1900. Coal-burning boilers on the first floor provided power to steam engines which were connected to dynamos on the floor above.
Henry Ford began working at the Edison Illumination Company as a steam engineer eventually rising to chief engineer for this plant in 1893. He built his first car--the "Quadricycle"--while he was employed there. He could have had a successful career in the electric power industry but left it in 1899 to try a risky new business of designing gasoline-powered automobiles.

By 1900, the H.J. Heinz Company was one of the largest packaged food companies in the world.

WTAG Transmitter Building
WTAG's history begins May 1, 1924 when the C T Sherer Co. a Worcester department store received the license for WDBH. WDBH began operation May 24, 1924 with a power of 100 watts on a frequency of 268 meters (1120kc.). The call letters was assigned by the Commerce Department as the next available block of sequential letters. The station used a play on words and represented that they stood for We Do Business Honestly.
One of New England’s oldest surviving AM transmitter sites is also one of its prettiest. Nestled in the suburbia of Holden, Massachusetts, just north of Worcester, WTAG (580) has called Shrewsbury Street its home since way back in 1936, when the Worcester Telegram and Gazette moved their AM station from their downtown Worcester rooftop to what was then a three-tower directional array, among the more complex DAs built in that early era.

Smiths Creek Depot was built on the Grand Trunk Railway in 1858 in Smiths Creek, Michigan nine miles southwest of Port Huron, and served both as a train stop and home to the stationmaster and his family. Like many small-town stations of its day, the railroad depot was a bustling center of travel, commerce, and communication. Smiths Creek Depot was more than a place to catch a train. The stationmaster, sold tickets and worked the telegraph machine. People could also mail packages and send telegrams.
As a boy during the Civil War, Thomas Edison worked as a trainboy out of this depot, selling newspapers and candy aboard trains to passengers traveling between Detroit and Port Huron, Michigan.

Mrs. Cohen sold hats, fancy goods and gentleman’s accessories from the shop and decorated pre-made hats to suit the individual taste of her customers. Mrs. Cohen would purchase ready-made hat bodies, then customize them using ribbons, artificial flowers, buttons and feathers. Fabrics, notions, and ties, cuff links and shirt collars -- gentlemen’s accessories -- were also sold in the store. While Mr. Cohen was alive, he owned and operated the store selling gentleman’s accessories which Mrs. Cohen continued to sell after converting the store into the millinery shop.

Built as a store around 1825 in Phoenixville, Connecticut, this structure was expanded to it’s present size about 1830 and changed little after that (the original "swirl" and "dab" paint treatment is still visible on the walls). Until 1884, the building served as both general store and drugstore-apothecary and a post office was moved into one end. The building, which remained primarily a post office until 1910, was run by Monroe Latham, a city selectman and local politician, and his wife, who served as post mistress.

Town Hall
In many New England towns during the 19th century, the town hall was a center of community activity. Town residents often used these buildings for town meetings, elections, dances and other functions. As a result, the town hall has come to symbolize the beginning of participatory democracy in America. This Greek Revival style structure was built in Greenfield Village in 1929.
The Greenfield Village Town Hall features the largest Gingerbread House at Christmas time.

Ackley Covered Bridge
In the mid-1930’s, Henry Ford began to search for a covered bridge to add to Greenfield Village. Henry Ford’s interest in bridges instilled heightened local pride of those states that had covered bridges. As a result, many dilapidated covered bridges were suddenly considered to have historic value, and were retained and repaired.
The Ackley Covered Bridge was built over Wheeling Creek between Washington and Greene counties in southwestern Pennsylvania by Joshua Ackley & Daniel Clouse in 1832 on land owned by the Joshua Ackley family. The bridge had fallen into disrepair and was scheduled to be torn down after 105 years of service.

Miller School
Henry Ford attended classes at Miller School in Springwells Township, Michigan from 1873-74. The Greenfield Village Miller School, a reproduction built in Greenfield Village, represents Henry Ford’s ideas about education. Ford strongly believed in the traditional principals taught in rural 19th-century one-room schools. In addition to reading, writing, and arithmetic, children learned through textbooks, such as the McGuffey Readers, the values of thrift, hard work, and honesty. Today, visiting students and teachers spend the day experiencing the lessons and school yard games found in one-room schools during the 1870’s.

This studio, built in Greenfield Village, illustrates the first quick, inexpensive photographic process available on a large scale in America.

Hearse Shed
Before the mid-1800’s, hearses were seldom used for funerals. Pall bearers either carried the coffin by hand all of the way to the cemetary or the coffin was transported on a flatbed wagon. Hearses were usually owned by the community and were stored in a shed like this one.
This Hearse Shed was constructed in the early 1800’s and stood next to a graveyard on Bootland Hill in Newton, New Hampshire. It was used for many years to house the hearse of this small New England village.
