Every year on the weekend after Labor Day, the community of Pelham, New Hampshire celebrates "Old Home Day", a New Hampshire tradition. Actually, "Old Home Day" was officially recognized by Proclamation in the New Hampshire State Legislature in 1913. The Governor of New Hampshire in 1899, Frank W. Rollins, was concerned about the decline of the small town and decided that the communities of New Hampshire should set aside a time for residents, both past and present, to re-unite to keep the towns alive. Well, former Governor Rollins' idea was indeed a vision that lives on in this small but growing town.
This event has been sponsored and coordinated by the proud and dedicated members of the First Congregational Church for 102 years. In 2009 we will host the 103rd Anniversary Pelham Old Home Day on Saturday, September 12th. Please feel free to explore the old-fashioned New England traditional town fair atmosphere we try to re-create each year by browsing this web site. Better yet, come join us in person on Old Home Day in 2009.
