Dogtown Road, off of Cherry Street is lined with both the marked (with numbers and names, when John J. Babson could identify them) cellar holes from the homes of early 18th century settlers and Roger Babson's, Babson's Boulders. During the Great Depression to help alleviate economic hardship in the area, Roger Babson, a prominent economist, business theorist, and 10th generation Gloucestonian, commissioned unemployed stonecutters to carve inspirational inscriptions on 36 boulders in this area, a large quantity of which can be found along this road.
