Civil War veterans on Amherst Town Common
United States -- History -- Civil War, 1861-1865; Veterans
Amherst (Mass.)
Civil War veterans standing at attention on the east side of the Town Common. This is probably a Memorial Day event which followed a similar program for many years: speeches in the schools, speeches at various locations in area towns where the local Civil War veterans gathered en masse, a luncheon, and finally, a gathering of the veterans on the Amherst Common followed by a procession to the West Cemetery where there were more exercises. This photograph may have been taken in 1911, the 50-year anniversary of the start of the Civil War.

Conkey's Tavern and outbuilding
Shays' Rebellion, 1786-1787
Pelham (Mass.)
View of dilapidated Conkey's Tavern showing the lean-to which housed the kitchen in back. Excerpted from short history on back of photograph: "This historic tavern was built in 1758 by William Conkey, in the deep valley, midway between Pelham East and West hills and near the west branch of Swift River, which was made the boundary between Pelham and Prescott when the latter was incorporated in 1822. Capt. Daniel Shays, the leader of the famous Shays Rebellion, lived half a mile distant up toward East hill, his house and the tavern being on the "Center range" road running due east and west through Pelham. It was at this tavern beside the wide open fireplaces of Landlord Conkey and by his well-stocked bar, that Shays met the debt-burdened yeomanry in 1786-7."
