Volunteers restore Ryderwood’s old ‘Welcome’ sign

For a trip down memory lane, drive up Morse St. past the Library in Ryderwood to see the newly cleaned “Old Ryderwood Sign,” recently mounted on the newly-cleaned Red Barn.

It is the earliest "Welcome" sign in local memory, and mild cleaning has left it in remarkably good condition.

This installation (the fourth, at least) is testimony to the many volunteers who have provided quality care and maintenance for this treasure over the years. Its statement is also as true today as the day it was painted.

Upcoming Ryderwood events include the Town-Wide Garage Sales coming up the weekend of April 25 and 26, followed by the "Spring Into Summer" Craft Fair the May 9 and 10.
