Looking for Jane Colden: Maple Avenue and Interstate 84
http://lookingforjanecolden.blogspot.com/2011/06/maple-avenue-and-interstate-84.html
Looking for Jane Colden. Thursday, June 9, 2011. Maple Avenue and Interstate 84. I don’t know when Maple Avenue came to be named Maple or took on the length and characteristics it had in the 1960’s but it’s a local road that at that time joined 17K in Coldenham with Rte. 207 between Little Britain and Rock Tavern. Given that it passes the site of the original Colden home and family cemetery, the origins of the road seem clear. Looking for Jane Colden. Looking for Jane Colden. Great Blue Heron, Studer.
