Molly's Woburn Middlesex Canal Eagle Scout Project

Hello, my name is Molly Murphy and I am a Life Scout from Troop 502 in Wobun and I am working on my Eagle Scout Project which is an improvement project along the Middlesex Canal in North Woburn. The work will be conducted by volunteers including Scouts, leaders, family, and friends.

My Middlesex Canal Eagle Scout Project will consist of an informational kiosk near the School Street entrance of the Middlesex Canal. In addition, a bench will be placed along the railroad path. I will be building the kiosk in a manner that will equip it well for the New England weather. The kiosk will have an area for historical information and an area to post events. The bench will serve as a memorial bench named in memory of John Coviello. John was a dedicated community member who served on the Woburn Conservation Commission, volunteered with Woburn Scouting and worked to clean up the Middlesex Canal. His deep love for Woburn's history and environment left a lasting impact on our city.

My goal for this project is to encourage people to use the walking paths at the Middlesex Canal and understand its history.
