Old Home Week is a practice that originated in the New England region of the United States, similar to a holiday or festival. In its beginning in, the 19th - 20th century, it involved a municipal effort to invite former residents of a village, town, or city - usually individuals who grew up in the municipality as children and moved elsewhere in adulthood - to visit the Old Home, the parental household and home town. Our idea is to have events around one week each summer so our former residents and guests can be as busy as they please while checking out what's new in town. Old Home Week 2011: July 11th to 17th, Saturday to Sunday Watch for updates as our Volunteers and Town Staff build the 2011 week.
