Lynnfield Unites With Light

Lynnfield Unites with Light

The Lynnfield Board of Selectmen and Lynnfield Historical Society announce the lighting of the Meeting House windows beginning Friday, March 27. These window lights are a remembrance of the Lynnfield residents who have recently passed and all those citizens affected by the ongoing Covid 19 pandemic. It is also the hope that these lights, shining from our historic town centerpiece, will be a symbol of strength, community and hope for all the residents of our town.

One of those residents that recently passed away, Steven Richard, was an active member of the Historical Commission  and Historical Society who volunteered for countless years maintaining and preserving the Meeting House among other good works. Every year, he took great care in setting up the lights in the meeting house windows every holiday season for all of us to enjoy.

"On behalf of the Board of Selectman we recognize Steven and all those citizens that have passed or have been impacted by this global pandemic that has recently hit home, for all of us, in such a tragic way. It is so important that we join together as a community during these challenging times. Let these lights be a constant reminder of what has been lost and that together, as a community, we will support each other and we shall endure," said Board of Selectmen Chairman Phil Crawford.
