Massachusetts
U.S. Route 6 Tourist Association.
(A Not-for-profit IRS 501 (c) (3) “Public Charity”
Corporation)
?
Would you like to see a Massachusetts
state division of the
National U.S. Route 6 Tourist Association?
What we need are 10 charter members at $100.00 each in order to have the
funding needed to file with the Massachusetts Secretary of State. The
estimated cost is around $1,000.00.
Interested? If so, I would like to hear from you.
Don M. Doucette, Ambassador at Large
U.S. Route 6 Tourist Association

NOTE:
As the Massachusetts U.S. Route 6 Tourist Association we would be in the
position to work with the State toward establishing Historic U.S. 6
signage along the old alignment.
In 2007 the California State Legislature (by Resolution) approved
Historic signage along all the pre-1956 alignment between the Nevada
State line and the City of Long Beach.
We would also be in the position to pursue economic development and
cultural preservation programs as outlined in our Mission Statement.
Meet Don Doucette our Agent / Ambassador at Large on
behalf of the National U.S. Route 6 Tourist Association.
Don's current goal is to create a Massachusetts state
division of the Association. He also plans to include a link to his Photo
Album and invites others to share their pictures of the Grand Old Highway.
As Massachusetts Agent/Ambassador at Large representing
the National Association of the U.S. Route 6 Tourist Association, Don
Doucette brings his lifelong energies and interests to the fore. Don has
explored New England through the avocation of day tripping for many years.
Recently, Don along with wife Nancy, have visited all 351 incorporated
municipalities represented within the Bay State. Don has seen the many moods
of his native Commonwealth from various angles and it is no wonder that when
Don was enlightened recently with the existence of the U.S. Route 6 Tourist
Association that Don found a new opportunity for local exploration and
inspiration.
For Don, any section of Massachusetts U.S.
Route 6 is only a day trip away. And so, he and Nancy are presently
exploring and getting to know better their own Massachusetts U.S. Route 6.
As responsible neighbors, Don and Nancy are realizing that Massachusetts
U.S. 6 is "in their backyard"
and as a result, Don invites you all over for a visit. He wishes to share
the many resources of Massachusetts U.S. Route 6 with those who are so
inclined. Don hopes for a local organized core group – a Massachusetts
Division of the National U.S. Route 6 Tourist Association. Please get
involved through your memberships and bring your energies, talents and
experiences to the total U.S. Route 6 preservation movement – old U.S.
Route 6, the Grand Army of the Republic Highway. It's worth preserving and
worth promoting as a valuable National cultural and economic resource.
MISSION
The U.S. Route 6
Tourist Association is a Not-for-profit IRS 501 (c) (3) Corporation
dedicated to the economic development and cultural preservation of
inner cities, small towns and rural communities located along all
3,652 miles of the Grand Old Highway.
NOTE:
We are currently all non-paid volunteers, either retired or keeping
our day jobs. Some of our student interns have worked their way up
to the position of Executive Director. The Association covers all
expenses related directly to Association activities.
