Alfred Wood Belcher moved to Denmark from Fitchburg, MA. He served in the Army during the Civil War. He is buried in L. A. Berry Cemetery in Denmark village. While living in Denmark he once served as the town clerk.

The second weekend of December was busy for Denmark. Friday evening was the town’s celebration for its employees and many volunteers. Saturday the church celebrated the 10th anniversary of the Gingerbread House party and the Art’s Center held their Jolly Holly Craft Fair. And Sunday evening young and old alike enjoyed the tree lighting. Sunday afternoon Terry and Carol Rhoads hosted the historical society open house.

Friends and neighbors visited and enjoyed displays and cookies. 

The website edited Beverly Caparco and Dick Hook from the photo.

Kitty Walsh displayed finds from around Denmark.

Displayed was an early 20th century projector of slides and postcards. Dan Eaton is pictured with the projector – sadly the website decided not to show him.

Lithographs of Ingalls children.
