First Fire Engine
Bring a little Northborough home.
Matte Hardcover Journal · 150 lined pages · 5.71 × 8.07 inches
Set aside a few minutes for a list or some reading notes, with the journal open and a pen ready beside the book you have been reading. Northborough's first fire engine gives the picture a practical object to look at, with public-service history carried by the equipment itself.
Northborough bought its first fire engine in 1846. A photograph taken for the town's 1916 anniversary and published in its 1921 history records that equipment. The image preserves a specific piece of local public-service history, connecting the town's commemorative record with the practical tools used by its firefighters.
The engine connects the town's anniversary record with the tools of local service. Use the pages for a few lines at a time, keeping the cover's place beside the things you want to remember.
