The 1767 Milestones are historic milestones located along the Upper Boston Post Road between the cities of Boston and Springfield in Massachusetts. The 40 surviving milestones were added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1971.
The stone depicted here (to the right) was erected by Paul Dudley, one of the prominent early citizens of Massachusetts. Mr. Dudley erected several stones along the road from Boston to Cambridge which wound its way from Beacon Hill along Washington Street through the Dudley Square area to what is now Huntington Avenue, then along Harvard Street through Brookline Village, Coolidge Corner, and Allston crossing into Cambridge at the bridge that is now adjacent to the Harvard Business School and the Boathouses. The stones that Mr. Dudley erected have the initial PD on them, usually at the bottom of the stone.
