Picnic lunches, orchestra music, and poetry recitations were all part of the ceremonies at Plainfield in 1902. In one of the greatest homecoming celebrations of the century in 1919, those were still the staples of the festivities. Speeches were delivered by returning World War I veterans Rev. Chester Jenney, Rev. Ray E. Jenney, Lt. Leon Hadley, and Hall Peterson. (Courtesy of the Granite State Collection, Sam Allen.)

Dressing in costume was part of Charlestown Old Home Days whether in the parade, as pictured here, or on the stage. One musical skit put on in the 1940s was “The Butcher Boy” with Mrs. George Parks as the charming daughter, Mrs. Carl Brown as the sympathetic mother, Horace Bascom as the cruel father, and starring Robert Laffin as the Butcher Boy.
