The story of a beloved landmark sheds light on the region's indigenous people, the early days of AVIS, and the family of Sid White, Andover's best remembered dairyman.
Fun article, Jane! Nice history on how hockey came to New England. And I never knew about Native American trail trees. Nice “how to” diagram, too!
My first thought on seeing the 1906 post card was of a giant horse's fetlock!
Now that you mention it, it certainly does!
There is a tree behind the 18th green at Indian Ridge CC that has this feature. I'm no expert on tree age but would love for someone to weigh in.
I'll try to find someone to check it out. I'm no expert either.
Fascinating!

My first thought was Horse's hock, i.e., hockey, but turns out the hock is farther up.
Fascinating story, Jane. Thank you.
