In 1894 Charles B. Brooks presented the Groton Historical Society with seven weather journals kept by his grandfather Caleb Butler (1776-1854). Butler arrived in Groton in 1802 and spent the remainder of his life holding such town positions as postmaster, selectman, surveyor, historian, and pound keeper. From that year- 1802-until his death in 1854 Butler recorded weather observations from his home on Main Street. #WeatherHistory #grotonma #MassachusettsWeather ...
