Acton Historic Willow Trees Lost in Storm and Progress
A historic Acton landmark, the Calm of Gilead and a boundary willow near the Parsonage, are gone after a windstorm damaged them to the point of removal. Town history notes Willow Street once bore a row of willows planted by Zonas Adamo, now sacrificed to development as gaps widen around the United Church Parsonage and Town Hall site.
