HARTFORD — The Town Hall was buzzing with activity on Friday as members of the Hartford Heritage Society prepared for their Heritage Day celebration on Saturday.

Members set about displaying 40 period costumes donated by Christine Cornish, owner of Drapeau’s Costumes in Lisbon Falls.

Arlene Nason was busy entering all of the costumes on the computer as she told about a Mother Jones costume display. Mother Jones was a labor organizer and activist who lived from 1830 to 1930, Nason said. In 1905, she helped found the International Workers of the World.

“All of the costumes donated, as well as Beth Allen’s reproductions of clothing from 1700 to 1800 will be on display Saturday at the Town Hall,” Nason said.

She pointed across the room to a fainting couch that has been recovered by member Doreen Maxwell and a hand-stitched quilt from 1898.

Hartford Heritage Day will be held from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the J.&O. Irish Museum and the Town Hall. There will be lots of fun and food for all ages.
