DID YOU KNOW: Flyaway Pond Dam Break

Your weekly historical fact, courtesy of the Easton Historical Society.

 

DID YOU KNOW that March 18, 1968 Flyaway Dam, off Lincoln Street, broke due to extensive rains and washed out the intersection of Pond, Mechanic Street and Sullivan Avenue.

The Town Moderator William F. E. Buchtmann had to be brought from his home by police in Unionville through Stoughton and Lincoln Street to the second Oliver Ames High School (now the Middle School) to postpone the Town Meeting.
