2019 nalf reunion
hingham, massachusetts
On the 22nd of June, 2019, we returned to Hingham, Mass, for our annual reunion. We were last there in 2008 (see "Hingham Reunions" page for more), and it was exciting to be able to revisit this location again.
On Friday night (June 21st), early reunion attendees (and other interested parties) got together for a Dutch Treat meal and socializing. The main reunion event at the GAR Hall took place the following morning.
After the meeting was finished, and group photographs were taken, a visit to the Hingham Center Cemetery took place, to gather at the burial place of Deacon John Leavitt. This was followed by a tour of the 1681 Old Ship Church, where John Leavitt was its deacon, and of the adjacent Hingham Cemetery.
