Event date: May 5, 1860
A trip to the summit of Wantastiquet by Mr. Bacon of the High School, his pupils and their friends, accompanied by The Band, was rendered exceedingly pleasant by the delightful weather of this year. There were no snow drifts to interrupt their progress; on the other hand flowers in profusion beguiled their way. The arbutus, hepatica, saxifrage, and adder’s-tongue are now found to be in abundance.
