[ 16 ] Dr. George T. Wyer Memorial

On lawn across from
church on Main Street

Mrs. Elma A. Packard gave the original house on this site to the Congregational Church in memory of her father, Dr. Wyer, a homeopathic doctor who served this community in the early decades of the 20th Century.   The present parsonage was erected in 1964.

This memorial plaque was dedicated in 1967. A Linden tree growing about 30’ south of the Memorial is said to be from cuttings salvaged from the ship Franklin wrecked on the backshore on March 1, 1849. The Franklin carried a cargo of baled fruit, trees, and grape vines, many of which survive in local gardens.
