Shenanigans, Side Hustles and Hampden Hijinks: Memories and Laughs from the 50s and 1960s
A group of more than 45 attendees at Hampden Historical Society’s monthly meeting enjoyed a wonderful program about living in East Hampden in the 1950s and 1960s. Member Sandra Boynton regaled the group with tales of her childhood growing up in Hampden, talking about many familiar family names and places. Skip Howard and John Murphy, who are childhood friends, presented together about some of their youthful escapades, first jobs and other stories of Hampden. Their candor and humor were much appreciated!

Support Hampden’s Heritage This Fall
As autumn settles in, bringing cooler temperatures and vibrant foliage, we are presented with a renewed opportunity to make a meaningful impact. The Hampden Historical Society thrives thanks to the dedication of our volunteers; however, we rely on the generosity of our community to sustain our mission. Your support is essential to keeping our doors open and ensuring the preservation of our local history.
This year’s Annual Appeal addresses three critical priorities: replacing a deteriorating retaining wall, restoring our cherished porch and implementing an ambitious initiative to digitize our valuable historical records. Your contribution will safeguard Hampden’s remarkable heritage and invigorate the future of our community.
