Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Old Home Day: Proceedings of the One Hundred and Twenty-Fifth Anniversary of the Incorporation of the Town of Dover, Massachusetts, Wednesday, July 7, 1909 The inception of the plan for celebrating the one hundred and twenty-fifth anniversary of the incorporation of the town had its origin in the Dover Historical Society. The directors were instructed by vote of the society to canvass the subject and ascertain if there was a sentiment in favor of the observance of the day. The proposition met with a hearty response, and the town unanimously voted at the April town meeting, under Art. 67 in the town warrant, to observe the occasion under the auspices of "Old Home Day." An appropriation of three hundred dollars was made to meet the necessary expenses. A joint committee of the town and the Dover Historical Society arranged for the celebration and carried out an interesting programme, the entire expense of which was kept within the appropriation. A more perfect summer day for the celebration could not have been desired, fair skies and gentle breezes prevailed. It was estimated that at least a thousand persons were in attendance during the day. All public buildings and private residences in the center of the town were tastefully adorned. The interior of the meeting house was beautifully decorated with crimson ramblers and horse brier, while the town hall was dressed in our national colors. An arch was erected over the central path leading across the Common, which bore a "Welcome" for all. Derby´s Natick Band discoursed appropriate music throughout the day, from a band stand, which had been erected on the Common. Able committees on invitations, reception, literary and musical exercises, decorations, badges, refreshments, sports and finance, attended to every detail of the celebration. The committee on invitations issued the following invitation, which was sent to over eight hundred persons scattered over the country, from Maine to California.
