Legendary Rock With Historic Ties Falls In Holliston: Patch PM

HOLLISTON, MA — Welcome to the end of another work week. Now that it's the weekend, perhaps you have a little time to consider a local mystery?

Earlier this week, a famous balancing rock in Holliston fell over. The rock, situated along Route 16 just east of I-495, was a local curiosity, and legend has it that George Washington once tried to push it over. However, no one knows how the rock finally met its end.
