Ben Smith Boat Landing
Bring a little Maynard home.
Slate Desk Plaque · 11 × 7 inches
A book, a pen and a page of work are ready on the desk, with the small plaque set nearby where there is time to notice its picture. Boats gather at Maynard's shaded Ben Smith Falls landing, giving recreation on the Assabet a small, named place at the water's edge.
Boats gather at the shaded Ben Smith Falls landing on the Assabet in Maynard. The selected postcard was mailed in June 1916 and is preserved by the Maynard Historical Society. Its photographic inset records river recreation at a particular landing, keeping that local name attached to the scene.
The landing makes river recreation part of Maynard's story. Make room beside the pen cup or books, keeping the small display within reach of an ordinary day's work at home.
