Southborough – Last year’s winter gusts that blew through New England ended up displacing hundreds of flags placed in memoriam of veterans laid to rest across Southborough’s cemeteries. Steve Whynot, Southborough’s veterans’ graves officer, joined by a team of local veterans and members of the town’s Boy Scout troup, walked the cemetery in the frigid temperatures to collect and replace all flags that had been displaced.

Since the approval of a $970,000 preservation restriction on the Burnett-Garfield House in April 2016, crews have been working on the 84 Main St. estate, preserving it to its original 19th-century splendor.

A group of Southborough parents are campaigning to close the funding gap on the replacement of the Harold E. Fay Memorial Park, also known as Fayville Park, after a windstorm demolished several areas of the playground, prompting the town to close the park last summer.
