Same spot, different view/angle:
I know this one might not be easy, so I'll leave a small clue (as an anagram):
"Hold Me Till 1761"
Old tag on Rt 2A in Westminster: Old Mill Restaurant.
Kind of a nice spot.

CAVEAT: This picture was taken from the road. There are plenty of cyclists and cars around. I suggest taking the pic from the far side.
And the hint, apropos of this weekend.
By the rude bridge that arched the flood,
Their flag to April’s breeze unfurled,
Here once the embattled farmers stood,
And fired the shot heard round the world.
The foe long since in silence slept;
Alike the conqueror silent sleeps;
And Time the ruined bridge has swept
Down the dark stream which seaward creeps.
On this green bank, by this soft stream,
We set to-day a votive stone;
That memory may their deed redeem,
When, like our sires, our sons are gone.
Spirit, that made those spirits dare,
To die, and leave their children free,
Bid Time and Nature gently spare
The shaft we raise to them and thee.

Fort Sewall in Marblehead.
It was famous more or less for one reason.
Constitution returned to Marblehead in July 1997, sailing on her own for the first time since 1881 and leaving Boston Harbor for the first time since 1934.Off the coast of Bermuda on 27 March 1814, it was discovered that her [USS Constitution] mainmast had split, requiring immediate repair.
Stewart set a course for Boston, where on 3 April two British ships HMS Junon and Tenedos picked up pursuit. Stewart ordered drinking water and food to be cast overboard to lighten her load and gain speed, trusting that her mainmast would hold together long enough to make way into Marblehead, Massachusetts. The last item thrown overboard was the supply of spirits.
Upon Constitution's arrival in the harbor, the citizens of Marblehead rallied in support, assembling what cannons they possessed at Fort Sewall, and the British called off the pursuit. Two weeks later, Constitution made her way into Boston, where she would remain blockaded in port until mid-December
Where was it?
The Bruce Freeman Trail is a proposed rail trail through the communities of Lowell, Chelmsford, Westford, Carlisle, Acton, Concord, Sudbury, and Framingham in Massachusetts -- following the 25-mile route of the old New Haven Railroad Framingham & Lowell line.
Phase 1 (6.8 miles in Lowell, Chelmsford, and Westford) is now open.
