The First showing of the Documentary Video
A group of eighty people came out on a
rainy Saturday afternoon, April 5, 2025, to view the
documentary video
History of the
Hampton Historical Society at the
Roland Paige Hall in the American
Legion building.
The video launches the year long celebration of the 100th
Anniversary of the Hampton Historical Society, telling the
stories of the founder Reverend Ira S. Jones, benefactor
Edward Tuck, Founder’s Park, the museum campus,
favorite items in the collection, and a look to the future and
beyond.
HHS president Lori Cotter introduced the videographers,
Mike Garland and Josh Silveira, with the producer Karen
Raynes, mentioning that there are many others
acknowledged in the credits of the video who helped with
the production.
For the event, Hannaford donated a
cake and Susie’s Sweets donated ice
cream, which were served by three
museum interns – Jack, Eve, and
Isabella – dressed for the task at hand.
As the video states: “This is a story of
many dedicated, devoted and
determined people. All ready, willing, and able to rally to the
effort, making the history of Hampton become and remain
alive.”
The video is on our YouTube Channel.
