Some History Behind Pelham Old Home Day!:
The Pelham Old Home Day celebration has been an important tradition for our community for the past 116 years! The first Old Home Day was started by the Governor of New Hampshire and its very first event was on August 18th 1906. Every year we keep this tradition alive whilst also working hard to include new attractions for people to enjoy with their loved ones. Thanks to the dedication of the members of the First Congregational Church, we have been able to make this event a Pelham staple that families have loved for generations.
