Winter 2026

Sunday, March 15, 2026 – Meeting at the Old Schoolhouse at 2 PM. Take a stroll back in time to 1925 Mansfield. Mansfield’s historian Lorrie Renker shares a tale of a 1925 black and white film that provides a glimpse into  Mansfield during the town’s 150th birthday.   It is stroke of luck that any of the film exists as it became involved in a lawsuit, sat under a workbench, resurfaced,  the salvageable footage was transferred from flammable film, disappeared and recently resurfaced.  The film has a story of its own in addition to clearly taking us back to a time gone by.

This program is funded in part by a grant from the Norton Cultural Council, a local agency which is supported by Mass Cultural Council, a state agency.
