As the coronavirus pandemic peaks in Massachusetts, Dartmouth residents aren’t getting out and about in town the way they used to — but many are still managing to get their voices heard.
Signs with messages of hope and support have been put up in shop windows, front yards, and even along forest trails all over town.
Some contain just a simple “Thank you.” Others, words of encouragement and hope. Still others, gentle reminders to keep social distance and stay home.
Whatever the message, the meaning is clear: We’re all in this together, and we will get through it.
Here are some of our favorite signs spotted around town.
