Throughout 1954, the Town of Pelham celebrated the tercentennial of the signing of the Pell-Siwanoy "Treaty" on June 27, 1654. Among the many celebratory events was a costume dance held at the Pelham Country Club.

Below is an image of an invitation to that dance. To facilitate searching, I have transcribed the text of the invitation. That transcription appears immediately below the image.
