New interpretive signage along the Chester Granite and Polishing Works walking trail of the Pangborn dust collector used to filter the unhealthy dusty air in the cutting and Polishing buildings.  The equipment has been previously moved from the cutting building on our conserved land (not sure by who or when) and now sits upside down on a town lot in tax title.  We are actively trying to save this piece from further deterioration (tree fell on it and owner refuses to remove).
