MS-192: Andrew S. Iddings Wright Brothers Homecoming Celebration Collection
Description
Patterson School boys, dressed as colonial soldiers, are marching during the 1909 Wright Brothers Homecoming Celebration opening ceremonies. Thirty-two pupils from the Patterson School, under the direction of Charles Hilgeman, performed a drill at the end of the opening ceremonies. The photograph shows the boys marching in formation down the street. In the background is a crowd watching the event including the heralds that accompanied Jonathan Dayton. Also in the background toward the center is Wilbur C. Kennedy dressed in a dark costume portraying Jonathan Dayton. The opening ceremonies were held at Van Cleve Park (also known historically as Newcom Park or the Log Cabin Park), which is now RiverScape MetroPark.
