Right now

A small memorial park at the corner of Hopedale and Peace Streets, on the original house lot of town founder Adin Ballou. His home was moved a block away in 1900 to make room for his statue, and the front doorstep and boot scraper from that farmhouse are the only pieces that remain on site. It reads as a quiet historic stop, not a recreation destination.
