2010 ANNUAL REPORT ENFIELD, NEW ... - Town of Enfield

important anniversary of the signing of the Middle Grant Charter. Current plans
call for four days of festivities, from July 1 to July 4 (the date of the Charter
signing being July 4, 1761). Some of the planned activities include special
church services, a parade, street dance, church suppers and luncheons, softball
tournament, play, boat parades, Shaker Field Day, fireworks, and colonial ball.
Updates of the 250 th festivities can be found at the town web site.
As the Heritage Commission looks towards the future, we anticipate
having an historic marker installed near Huse Park, marking the National Historic
Register District. Also in the planning stages are signs on the major roads,
marking the historic district to encourage historic tourism. The Enfield Center
Town Hall clean-up was only the beginning of what we hope will be a
refurbishment of the building to bring it into active use by the town. The play
scheduled for the 250 th will be performed on the stage at the Center Town Hall
and the Selectboard now meets there once a year. Painting will be undertaken in
the spring of 2011.
It is hoped that the activities for the 250 th celebration will spark an
interest in reviving Enfield Old Home Days with citizens and former citizens of
Enfield. Old Home Days serve as an excellent way to preserve memories of the
past for future generations. Enfield should be part of this wonderful New
Hampshire tradition.
