In 1933 the town of Longmeadow, Massachusetts celebrated its 150th anniversary! The Sesquicentennial was a 3 day event held from October 13th to October 15th. Those 3 days brought many former residents back to visit Longmeadow and to enjoy the celebrations. There were town residents who opened their homes for their guests who were family members and friends, so all could enjoy the celebration. Longmeadow was the first town in MA that was incorporated after the Revolutionary War.
A souvenir book was published to commemorate this anniversary of Longmeadow. It was edited and published in 1933 by Edgar Holmes Plummer.
