Georgetown —

The Georgetown Historical Society has placed a replica of the Brocklebank Museum’s much-treasured 1754 tavern sign on a post in front of the building. The sign was placed in front of the museum on Saturday, Aug. 2.

The original sign, which is on display inside the museum, depicts British General James Wolfe on a white horse. It marked the location of the General Wolfe Tavern that was located in the museum building in the 1750s and 1760s when Georgetown was known as the West Parish of Rowley. Georgetown was incorporated out of Rowley in 1838.
