Easter Sunday Dinner- 1958

Springfield Republican
March 30, 1958

In 1958 Easter Sunday was celebrated on Sunday, April 6th!  A few days earlier an advertisement appeared in the Springfield Republican newspaper inviting interested members of the public to make their Easter Dinner reservations at the Old House On The Green.  This charming restaurant located on the Town Green in Longmeadow, MA was a favorite for so many families and organizations for many years. The proprietors of this restaurant that was located at 797 Longmeadow Street were George E. and Margaret Adams.  This establishment opened in October of 1940 and was located in a historic home in Longmeadow.

While many patrons enjoyed their special dinners on that day, they did not know that this would be the last Easter Dinner that would be served at this destination location.  In October of 1958 the Old House On The Green closed.  Dining at 797 Longmeadow Street would be a wonderful memory for so many people- both Longmeadow residents and also diners from out of town.
