This recent Sunday, affection filled the atmosphere at the Canton Historical Society’s enchanting “Vintage Valentines & Love Letters” affair. We united to commemorate LOVE - witnessing familiar faces and forging new friendships was truly heartening. The enchanting tunes of classic love ballads by legendary artists such as Etta James and Billie Holiday provided the perfect ambiance. Our taste buds were delighted with scrumptious, freshly baked donuts from Country Kitchen in Walpole, courtesy of George and Patti.
Individuals of all ages from the community joined in and crafted beautiful expressions of affection. We exchanged tales, discovered each other’s passions, shared laughter, and, as always, delved into the rich historical archives of Canton.
In addition to our vintage-inspired tokens of love, we had the privilege of showcasing 19th-century valentines graciously loaned to us by The Bright family, alongside two exquisite Draper portraits generously donated to the Society by Kristen Draper. The new portraits will become part of an ever burgeoning collection dedicated to the Draper Family in Canton.
As the day came to a close, it was evident that love transcends all boundaries in Canton. We extend our gratitude to everyone who participated, and eagerly anticipate many more opportunities to gather as a community, united by love from Canton.
