1897 4th of July Program

The 1897 program is the last one we have in the 19th century. The tub race again leads off the afternoon activities and the celebration includes two displays of fireworks --- the first a daytime display of Japanese fireworks during the races, and the second ending the celebration at 8:30 PM.

The Wenonah Historical Society has acquired a medal that was awarded to the winner of the Slow Bicycle Race in 1897. Follow the link below to learn more about it.
