Share #1087 issued to Elihu Clapp in 1798. Signed by company president Caleb Strong and the company clerk. In the late 18th century and early 19th century, turnpikes, as opposed to ordinary roads of the same time, were roads where gates barred travelers from continuing and at which payments were demanded for the use of the road. The turnpike era in Massachusetts began in 1796, when the first act of incorporation for a turnpike was passed. The routing of the turnpike was the Pittsfield Line- Worthington- Northampton. Current location is Grange Hall Road/Robinson Road–Route 143–East Street/Chesterfield Road (wikipedia). Printed on thick, heavy paper folded into sixths. Some small fold splits. Uncanceled.
