There is now a plaque here commemorating this event that's located on 19 High Street in Medford Square in Medford, Massachusetts. This is the spot just outside of Boston where James Lord Pierpont (1822-1893) wrote the popular holiday classic song. The writer was watching the sleigh races that were taking place on Salem Street. In 1850 James was sitting at the Simpson Tavern watching the picturesque scene that inspired him to write the song. You may not know this but Jingle Bells was not the original title of the song it was called "The One Horse Open Sleigh". That's the title that got published in September 1857. The plaque is located in front of Drizik Eyecare just below the giant pair of eyeglasses in the window. It's in a beautiful old brick building with some great architectural detail. Across the street is 2 Salem St. which is different but also a beautiful old brick building with some green patina that houses a Dunkin Donuts & other businesses. Salem Street's sleigh races inspired the song. The song later became known as Jingle Bells & has been sung by thousands of artists from around the world. Bing Crosby's rendition of "Jingle Bells" with the Andrews Sisters from The White Christmas album from 1945 is still one of people's favorite versions. Here's some other artists who have recorded Jingle Bells: Frank Sinatra The Beatles, Dolly Parton, Jimmy Buffett, William Shatner ( Captain Kirk from Star Trek), The Carpenters, Smokey Robinson, The Partridge Family, Gwen Stefanie, Gladys Knight, Michael Buble, Willie Nelson, Dionne Warwick, Chicago, Alvin & The Chipmunks, Eric Clapton, The Wiggles, Alan Jackson, the Disco Group Bonny M, Julie Andrews, John Denver, Etta James, David Haselhoff (Knight Rider), Dean Martin, Michael Bolton.

It's small obviously, not the views in the area are commanding. My only complaint is that parking is really tricky. We had to park at a store and walk a bit (not awful but not ideal).

Pulling off that visit was difficult, because following the address we had put us in the middle of a residential neighborhood with "Permit Parking Only" signs galore. We parked off to the side, held our breath, crossed our fingers, and looked for the Bridge, which was nowhere to be found. Luckily, a gent was walking near us, and he directed us to a long circuitous walk down an elevated path, under the road, and across a marine walkway. As we walked and walked and walked, we finally caught sight of the big green spires that told us we had found the elusive Wiggly Bridge. The Wiggly Bridge is just 75 feet long, and I've seen a few sources claim it's the smallest suspension bridge in the world. And yes, we can confirm that when you walk across it, it most definitely bounces, wiggles, and flexes under your feet. I can also confirm that on a rainy day (like today), the Bridge should really be named "The Wiggly and Slippery Bridge", because it was slippery as hell.

There are records of an older one but it is long forgotten and no longer exists. This ancient graveyard does look old, very old. Many of the gravestones are worn away and the oldest ones I could read were from the early 1700's. It's obvious that the broken and impossible to read stones are much older. The cemetery is a lovely place, lots of tall pine trees grow around, beside and even up through some of the ancient stones. It actually smells great, with the scent of pine permeating the air. One surprising fact about this ancient place is that there are no legends of ghosts or hauntings. Quite surprising since virtually all old and spooky graveyards have a least a few resident mischievous spirits hanging around. Perhaps it is just so old that even the ghosts got tired and just want to rest.
