Pelhamville Bicentennial Celebration in 1894
On July 4, 1894, the tiny little hamlet of Pehamville celebrated the
bicentennial of its "settlement". There were fireworks, orations and
more.
Oddly enough, I have yet to identify what the little hamlet considered to
be its initial settlement in 1694. . . . . . .
Below is a brief reference to the celebration that appeared in the July 5,
1894 issue of the New-York Tribune.
"PELHAMVILLE
Pelhamville yesterday celebrated the two-hundredth anniversary of its
settlement. There were orations, music and games in the day, and the
evening was devoted to a display of fireworks and to other amusements.
Hundreds of people from the surrounding towns and cities took part."
