Mr. Haywood describes the first, and largest ever recorded, town celebration on the town common in his book : The History of Hancock, New Hampshire 1764 - 1889, By William Willis Hayward, Lowell, Mass, Vox Poluli Press : S.W.Husk & Co., 1889.
"Chapter II Hancock Centennial Hancock, N. H., September, 1879. HANCOCK CENTENNIAL At an early hour the people began to assemble on the common, and at 9 a. m. there must have been nearly two thousand people present, and before noon over three thousand. The delightful breeze of the morning gaily wafted the numerous flags which had been flung out, Peterboro' brass band was early on the ground, and discoursed refreshing music, and everything went merry as a mar- riage bell. The committee of arrangements — Messrs. Orland Eaton, Joshua S. Lakin, and John P. Hills, had, with indefatigable labor, put everything in perfect readiness.
"Prominent to View was Hancock Light Battery, Lieut. Albert Jaquith commanding, with Alvah Copeland, orderly sergeant.
"In nearly the center of the common a grand stand, capable of shel- tering two hundred or more, had been erected, and furnished with settees, for the use of the officers of the day, speakers, singers, band, etc., and on the southern side were placed seats capable of accommodating two thousand people.
"Prominent upon the east end of the stand, in large letters were the words " Hancock wel- comes home her sons and daughters." On the north side "1779" - "1879" "
