6/12 - Marlborough marks 350 years this weekend

Civil War Living History Day runs from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Union Common, at the corner of Rte. 85 and Main Street. Civil War re-enactors will offer demonstrations and march at 2 p.m. to the war's monument on Main Street.
The city will also ring the John Brown Bell - a rare occurrence - tomorrow at noon. Marlborough soldiers took the bell from Harpers Ferry, W.Va., following orders to preserve anything of value to the Union.
The weather outlook is not great. Forecasters see a chance of rain or thunderstorms for both tomorrow and Sunday.
The rain date for the Living History Day is Sunday.
