Architect's drawing of the replica 

 of the Aptucxet Trading Post, 

 which is to be built and maintained 

 by public subscription. Great care 

 has been exercised by the Bourne 

 Historical Society to make sure that 

 the replica duplicates the original 

 in every particular. It is to be 

 located upon the identical site of the 

 original post, and is surrounded by 

 twelve acres of land constituting a 

 part of the memorial. 



From an old Dutch map of the New 

 World, showing the coast line from 

 Maine to the Chesapeake, and in- 

 dicating the locations of the earliest 

 trading posts established by the 

 Colonists.
