Title: McCarthy Album 11, Photograph 245
Description: Caption: "Mohawk Trail, Hoosac Mountains, Massachusetts. Greenfield Mass to Albany New York, Sept 7, 1934." Hairpin turn on the Mohawk Trail, a scenic highway in Massachusetts. The Trail, originally a trade route for Native American tribes, was adopted as the route for the first scenic road constructed in the state. A gravel road was built along the route between 1912 and 1914, and later expanded as automobile traffic increased nation-wide. It is now part of Massachusetts Route 2.
