On May 1, 2019 the Hopkinton Historic District Commission (HHDC) held a public hearing on the Preliminary Study Report for the creation of the Aaron and Lucy Claflin House Historic District (76 Main St), which is the subject of a Town Meeting Warrant Article (Article #46) submitted by the Hopkinton Historical Commission (HHC). The current property owner sought a demolition permit for the Claflin House; the Hopkinton Historical Commission then imposed a six-month demolition delay, which will expire July 4, 2019.
Because of the damp weather conditions, Saturday's walk at the Betty Fitzpatrick trail has been rescheduled to Sunday, May 19, at 1PM. We hope to see you there (and we hope the weather is better!).
Unless otherwise noted, all Hopkinton Trails Club events are free and open to the public.
