The soldier stands ready, holding his rifle nearly horizontally with bayonet attached. He is wearing the usual Union cap and cloak, sporting a pretty spectacular moustache. The main plaque also looks recent, reading "Westfield honors the memory of her sons who have fallen in defence of library, union and indepences. 1861 to 1865. Erected 1871." Another plaque has a relief of a Native American and I have no idea what that's all about. [Review 18415 overall - 1135 in Massachusetts - 1937 of 2022.]

He has a mustache and wears a long coat, a cape, and a cap. He is holding his rifle across his body, instead of vertically, like so many other monuments I've seen. Check out that nasty looking bayonet ! There are four plaques or relief sculptures on the sides of the monument. The three smaller plaques have the names of Westfield soldiers killed during the Civil War, one has the U.S. shield with an American eagle and four flags, and one has a very cool crest with an Indian brave and a curious disembodied arm brandishing a saber. The main plaque is engraved with: Westfield honors the memory of her sons who have fallen in defence of Liberty Union and Independence 1861 to 1865. --------------- Erected 1871 The two engraved plaques are tarnished and streaked, making them difficult to read. The marker is at the intersection of Court Street (U.S. 20) and Elm Street (U.S. 202).

Westfield native Major-General William Shepard crammed a lot of action into his 80 years of life…read more He fought in 22 battles and was one tough sonuvabitch.. He fought in King George's War and the French and Indian War, He fought in Quebec, and served in the Revolutionary War, he defended Springfield during Shay's Rebellion, he served in the War of 1812. Why was he tough sonuvabitch? During the Revolution, he was shot in the neck by a cannon ball. He gained consciousness while the doctors were digging the ball out of his neck. He asked for a drink of water, and told the doctors to bandage him up so he could return to the fight. Now that's what I call a tough guy! When his military service ended, he turned to public service and became a state representative, senator, and councilor. He was elected to congress three times, and later in life served in town politics and was his church's deacon for 24 years. Westfield honors one of its most impressive native sons with a 1919 bronze statue on a town green at the intersection of Elm, Court, and Broad Streets.

The customer service is great and the weekly emails and recopies are also entertaining and delicious! We made a trip out to the farm this summer to "pick your own" and that was definitely worth the drive from Boston. Lots of fresh veggies and flowers all included in the cost of your normal share. Everyone there was very friendly! The only downside to the CSA is the occasional lack of variety. LOTS of greens most of the summer, and heavy on the root veggies in the fall/winter. For the most part it's a good variety, but could mix it up a bit more maybe? Overall a great value and we'll be back next summer for sure!
