The flow of visitors to Old Home Day was steady and gratifying for the many historical society volunteers involved. The weather was chilly but pleasant, especially when the sun was out.
Fresh cider, ice cream, corn meal, corn fritters, cornbread, and apple rings were just some of the foods prepared on site. Visitors could shell their own dried corn, grind it into meal, deliver it to the hearthside cookers, and sample the results.
We were also pleased to host many members of the Dunbarton Historical Society, which has a tradition of selecting "away" sites for its own annual meeting.
There was an antique car parade at the start of the event which included vehicles from local collectors and from our friends over at Bill Kidder's Ice House Museum.
