<strong>Along</strong> <strong>Route</strong> 6 <strong>in</strong> <strong>Massachusetts</strong> (<strong>Postcard</strong> <strong>History</strong> <strong>Series</strong>) (James A. Gay) <strong>Route</strong> 6 <strong>in</strong> <strong>Massachusetts</strong> runs from Prov<strong>in</strong>cetown to Seekonk and passes through some of the most beautiful scenery <strong>in</strong> the state. What had once been a mere footpath for Native Americans, then widened for the use of stagecoaches, <strong>Route</strong> 6 would be officially designated the "K<strong>in</strong>g s Highway" <strong>in</strong> 1920.
