Last Friday, November 9, the Hingham Student Conservation Association Historical Preservation crew spent the day volunteering at the Speedway Headquarters. Ten young men and women braved blustery weather and mid-autumn chill as they removed vegetation, fallen leaves, and clutter from the complex, filling two 30-yard dumpsters. The work was scheduled in response to concerns expressed by community members at the September public information session that the site was beginning to look untidy, particularly along Western Ave. Thanks to the SCA crew and DCR staff, the Speedway has been spruced up and is ready for construction to begin next spring.
