MANSFIELD HISTORICAL COMMISSION MINUTES
for May 28,1996 at 7:30 PM at Town Hall
Present: Pat Cataloni, Jean Ilordbeck, Gean Parks, Charlotte Scozzafava and Kate Viens.
Guests: Cindy Crawford and Lois Thomas.
The placing of plaques in the cemeteries was discussed and exact wording was chosen.
Billie pointed out that we cannot include a plaque for Bird Cemetery as it is privately
owned.
The idea of creating a tour manual for the Fisher - Richardson House based on Claire
Dempsey's research was discussed. It was decided that a manual rather than a script
would be appropriate. Pamphlets will be developed from the manual and color -coded to
each section -- architecture, family history, etc. Tour guides could speak from the
pamphlets and the manual could be a resource for more information. Copies could be
kept at the Mansfield Public Library and the schools. Students would have access to this
background information prior to their school tours. Charlotte will extract information
from the second section of Claire's report. Lois wondered if anyone could create a video
about the house or film the children's tours on June 4 -6. The idea of including only
artifacts from Mansfield and perhaps opening the barn to show farm implements was
discussed.
The meeting was adjourned at 9:07 pm.
Respectfully submitted,
Leslie A. Pasch
Secretary
