Boston Post Cane
The Boston Post Cane is a symbol to recognize our oldest living citizen. The Boston Post Cane tradition was established in 1909 by the Boston Post Newspaper. A special cane was presented to the Board of Selectmen in 431 towns in New England. The recipient holds the honor as long as he/she lives within the town. For more information on the history and tradition of the cane, click here.
To provide for preservation and public awareness of the tradition and protection of the cane from loss or damage, the cane remains at the Greene Town Office.
If you would like to nominate someone to be recognized for this honor, please contact the Town Office.
