"Old Home day" was first celebrated in Chepachet during the fall of 1906 with a clam bake
and a day of celebration and fun. Through the years it became a time for folks to return to Chepachet and renew friendships. Our 2006 program began with a lunch consisting of clam
chowder, clamcakes, brown bread, watermelon, lemonade and other fixings. We also had contests of skill for all ages and a musical program, including a sing-along, featuring old-time songs to recall good times from the past.
