Wellesley has been making plans to mark the 100-year anniversary of the end of World War one by sprucing up Memorial Grove and adding a new bench to honor residents who died in the Great War. The Grove is located near the small parking lot that serves the track, football, field, and Fuller Brook Park.

Here are some pics of the project,

Memorial Grove, Wellesley — 326 Wellesley residents out of a town population of 6,000 served in the war. A granite bench overlooking the State Street Pond honors them. The pond was dredged and refurbished in 2015 as part of the Fuller Brook Park project.

Check out this wonderful youtube video about Memorial Grove. The Swellesley Report editor Bob Brown was part of the video’s production team. Props are given to Tory DeFazio, the guiding light behind this project.
