The picture at the top of the page was taken at the Draper field day in 1919. The photos of the mile race and the fifty yard race were taken in 1912. The date of the color postcard is unknown. There's a mistake in the caption. It shows the town park, not Bancroft Park. The building in the background in several of the pictures is the Roper factory that stood for many years on Northrop Street, next to the park.     Park, Pond and Sports Menu          More photos            HOME
