The Sub-Committee on Loan Collection and Historic Sites deemed it a privilege to present to the citizens of Andover evidences of its pre-historic existence ; Indian relics, war curiosities, industrial methods, literary and educational activities, religious growth, and more than all portraits and pictures, with the mode and manner of living, of the men and women who made " Andover everywhere and always, first, last,-the manly, straightforward, sober, patriotic, New England town."
With the catalogue showing in detail about three-quarters of the articles exhibited, it is not necessary to speak individually of each phase of the collection, but as so many articles were brought to the hall after the catalogue had gone to press, it seemed wise to repeat in this official report the valuable data under " Portraits and Pictures of Andover Men and Women ; Old Houses and Sites," and also give a general plan of the exhibit with names of those contributing articles.
Those comparing the catalogue with this account will understand that this statement explains any discrepancies.
The Punchard School Hall was obtained and every facility for work granted by the school Board, Trustees and Faculty. The hall entrance was decorated with flags and the society colors of the local chapter of the Daughters of the Revolution.
The main room 45 x 60 with the stage 20 x 30 was arranged as follows :

250TH ANNIVERSARY
The " Committee of Co-operation from North Andover, " Hon. Wm. J. Dale, Jr., Miss Sarah Kittredge, Mrs. Moses T. Stevens and Mr. John O. Loring, assumed the whole responsibility of " An Ancient Parlor " which occupied the stage. The ante-rooms on either side gave access to this room. One of the incidents of the opening after- noon, not soon to be forgotten, was the singing of " Auld Lang Syne " by the audience, with the accompaniment of Madame Kittredge's Clementini piano brought to Andover early in the present century.
The walls of the stage were hung with the portraits of noted men and women of North Parish. The other portraits were hung in the main hall. Only two pictures of living people were solicited - Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe, and Andover's most celebrated citizen of today, Prof. Edwards A. Park, D. D., LL. D., who honored the exhibit by a personal visit. At the right of the stage was Mr. Warren F. Draper's collection of Andover publications, over three hundred in number exclusive of pamphlets, 1813 to 1888 ; show cases containing valuable manuscripts, rare books, autographs, and portions of Mr. Paul B. Folansbee's collection of pre-historic relics. On the left of the stage stood an ancient loom, with a quilt just completed, as it were, in it. Beyond this was such antique furniture as it was possi- ble to display. The rear of the hall was so divided that the two cor- ners were fitted up, the one as a kitchen, and the other as a bedroom. Articles for these rooms were jointly contributed by North Andover and Andover. Between these was the stage, 12 x 20, where Mrs. L. E. Mason and Mrs. Catherine Allen spun flax and wool into yarn. A memento of this work will be deposited in the Cornell Art and Historic Collection. Above them hung the portraits of the founders of the present manufacturing interest of Andover. In the centre were double show cases in which were exhibited samplers, china, silver, war relics, clothing, etc. In all some one hundred feet of cases were required to properly protect fragile articles. Many costumes of "ye ancient styles" were worn by young ladies from North Andover and Andover of which the committee have no record.
So great was the interest in the collection and so large the atten- dance that at the request of leading citizens it continued open until Saturday night. Much of the success of the collection was due to the liberal appropriation of three hundred dollars of the Committee of Fifteen.
