MEMORIAL TREE DEDICATION & PROGRAM
Sunday, November 11, 11:00 A.M.
Samuel H. Wentworth Library
On Sunday, November 11 at 11:00 A.M., the Sandwich Historical Society, Alfred Quimby Trustees and the Samuel H. Wentworth Library will host a program at the Samuel H. Wentworth Library to re-dedicate the memorial Maple tree to Pvt. Arthur Skinner. The original tree had been damaged by a plow and had to be removed; given the significance of the tree, it was replaced in the fall of last year, and the time has come to re-dedicate! ~ As many of you know, Veteran's Day is November 11; however, did you know that this day was originally known as Armistice Day? Commemorating the WWI Armistice, it officially took effect on "the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month" of 1918. One hundred years later we will gather and commemorate the end of the Great War, re-dedicate the memorial to tree to Pvt. Arthur Skinner, a Sandwich native who was killed in the war, and re-imagine Sandwich Village from 100 years ago.
~ Please join us for this event and help recognize those who left Sandwich to serve their country, some who returned, and sadly, some who did not. Music and light refreshments will accompany the presentations.
