🇺🇸 A little Taunton history worth celebrating!

Yesterday, October 21, marked the anniversary of one of the most significant moments in Taunton's history - the raising of the Liberty & Union Flag!

On October 21, 1774, Taunton patriots raised a flag bearing the words "Liberty and Union" in a bold expression of their support for liberty and colonial unity in the years leading up to the American Revolution.

More than 250 years later, that historic moment remains an important part of our city's identity. The Liberty & Union Flag continues to be a symbol of Taunton's patriotism, independence, and community pride.

Each year, we celebrate this piece of our history through local traditions like Liberty Day at the Old Colony History Museum and the Liberty Libations Pub Crawl in Downtown Taunton.

We're proud to be part of a community with such a rich history and traditions that continue to bring people together!

Here's to celebrating the history, heritage, and spirit of Taunton - yesterday, today, and for generations to come! 🇺🇸

🚧✨ Downtown Taunton Business Spotlight: Luciano's Excavation Inc.

This week, we're shining the spotlight on Luciano’s Excavation, a family-owned and operated business built on hard work, dedication, and decades of experience!

The story behind Luciano’s Excavation is one of determination and perseverance. Owner Luciano Ribeiro came to America from the Cape Verde Islands in 1985. After spending 10 years building boats for Boston Whaler, he decided to take a leap into a completely new career, entering the construction industry in 1995.

Starting as a laborer, Luciano was determined to learn everything he could. He put in the extra hours, stayed late to learn how to operate heavy equipment, and worked his way up from operating a loader to mastering the excavator.

Today, with more than 25 years of experience operating excavators, Luciano has built a reputation for exceptional skill, attention to detail, and quality workmanship.

From dredging ponds to installing revetments and tackling complex excavation projects, Luciano’s Excavation brings knowledge, experience, and cost-effective solutions to every job. As a family-owned business, they take pride in guiding their customers through the construction process and delivering results they can count on.

❤️ We're proud to highlight hardworking local businesses like Luciano’s Excavation that contribute their skills, expertise, and entrepreneurial spirit to the Taunton community.

Please join us in showing some appreciation for Luciano and the entire Luciano’s Excavation team! 👏
