Everyone is invited to gather in front of the Town Hall for a short concert by the Nelson Town Band at 11:30 am. At around noon there is a parade around the Common, then a procession up the hill to the cemetery. The band will provide more music at the cemetery, and then Rev. Eliot Fay will say a few words. The ceremony closes with a rifle volley and taps.

The picture is Rev. Millard Hardy, age 92, at the Memorial Day celebration in Nelson in 1935.
