Market Day
revived on

by MARCELLA HOFFMANN
WENTWORTH--In the
original Wentworth town
charter of 1766 it was granted
"that as soon as the said town
shall consist of fifty families a
Market Day may be opened
and kept."
Wentworth has revived this
event and on Saturday, August
1, as they have done for the
last six years, the Wentworth
Historical Society held
Market Day from 10 a.m.4
p.m. on the town common.
Interestingly enough, this
common was once a common
burying ground. In 1787 Phillip
White gave one acre of ground
for this purpose. It was used
for this purpose until 1817. In
1790 the first"meeting house
was erected. Elegant
dwellings were built and there
was much excitement that
Wentworth might become a
shiretown. The dead were
removed to the present
Village Cemetery. However,
all efforts failed and the
Village Common, where once
only grief and mourning were
heard, became the center of
business and amusement.
.Here in this historic and
picturesque setting the
Historical Society held Market
Day.
Articles of every description
were 'on sale, including
examples of the local arts and
crafts, and of the cooks and.
bakers' skills.

Gravel removal project sought
The Grafton County Con-

the North Country Resource

ment Project for assistance in
gravel removal from rivers
and major streams.

agencies have received an

Farm, commercial, industrial
and residential land uses have

from ice jams.
The problems are obvious
but the solutions are complex.

Market Day
revived on
connnon
by MARCELLA HOFFMANN
WENTWORTH--In the
original Wentworth town
charter of 1766 it was granted
"that as soon as the said town
shall consist of fifty families a
Market Day may be opened
and kept."
Wentworth has revived this
event and on Saturday, August
1, as they have done for the
last six years, the Wentworth
Historical Society held
Market Day from 10 a.m.4
p.m. on the town common.
Interestingly enough, this
common was once a common
burying ground. In 1787 Phillip
White gave one acre of ground
for this purpose. It was used
for this purpose until 1817. In
1790 the first"meeting house
was erected. Elegant
dwellings were built and there
was much excitement that
Wentworth might become a
shiretown. The dead were
removed to the present
Village Cemetery. However,
all efforts failed and the
Village Common, where once
only grief and mourning were
heard, became the center of
business and amusement.
.Here in this historic and
picturesque setting the
Historical Society held Market
Day.
Articles of every description
were 'on sale, including
examples of the local arts and
crafts, and of the cooks and.
bakers' skills.
