July 4, 2001, the 225th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence was, unbeknownst to us at the time, a watershed moment. We were three months before the shock and tragedy of 9/11, when our world would change in ways large and small, and events occurred in the years that followed we could never have imagined.

Not that life was always smooth in the 25 years since 1976. We enjoyed a year of festivities and a great parade in 1990 to celebrate our centennial as a city; and that summer, Westover celebrated its 50th anniversary.

However, quickly on the heels of that, the Gulf War, which broke out in August 1990, turned Westover into the Northeast staging area for tens of thousands of departing troops when the multinational coalition responded with aerial and naval bombardment of Iraq from January 1991 to the war’s end in late February. Just as the base was the last bit of the USA the troops had seen before they left, it was their first stop on the way home when they began to return, and for many weeks, volunteers from our city and surrounding towns helped the USO to welcome them back, day and night as the planes came in.

The fall of the Berlin Wall and the dissolution of the USSR, with freedom coming to former communist bloc countries brought relief and joy around the world, and the rise of something new called The Internet was one of the many wonders that made the future seem bright. A “Dot Com Bubble” brought excitement and booming portfolios throughout the decade. Our “Y2K” fears that our computer systems would crash after midnight on January 1st 2000, were for nothing. The worst-imagined scenario never happened.

But the bubble began to deflate and eventually crashed.

We didn’t see that yet on July 4th, 2001, certainly couldn’t imagine a worse financial crisis in 2008, but even around here, big change bewildered our sense of permanence. The Fairfield Mall was slated to be demolished at the end of the year.

The Philadelphia corporation that owned it announced in September of 2000 that it would close the mall and raze it to build a Home Depot in the spot roughly where Caldor’s stood as the anchor store on the northern end of the mall. As a result, most of the tenants moved out in January 2001, and the last two remaining business in the mall: Subway and Lucas Pizza, held out in discussions over their leases, but there was no saving the mall at that point. Caldor’s demolition began Thursday, September 6, 2001. Five days later, terrorists attacked the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, and we were wrenched into a new and disturbing era, with another long war ahead.

In 2001, George W. Bush was our President, and the Vice President was Dick Cheney. Our Mayor was Richard J. Kos.

There were plans to build a new Chicopee High School on the site of the Chicopee Municipal Home on Front Street, and a new Chicopee Comprehensive High School on the same property on Montgomery Street.

Our 4th of July was quiet.

Fireworks were slated for June 30th; they had become an annual event by that time, usually the Saturday before the 4th. On that Saturday, the American Legion Post 452 was scheduled to play Post 337 at Fortin Baseball Field in Szot Park, and a tribute group called the “Fab Four” performed Beatles hits. Threatening weather cancelled the fireworks, however; they were rescheduled for Monday, July 2nd. It was a clear, cool night, with almost a full moon, and a crowd estimated to be between 10,000 and 15,000 gathered at Szot Park and also watched from spots around the neighborhood.

The 4th fell on a Wednesday. With one day off in the middle of the week, there was less time for travel, for celebrations, and if anyone took note that it was the 225th anniversary of our country, it wasn’t recorded.

But it was a watershed moment, and just like July 4th, 1776; and 1801; and 1826; and 1851; and 1876; and 1901; and 1926; and 1951; and 1976…nothing would ever be the same.

This concludes our summer-long look at our Independence Day as it was celebrated by us on every 25-year anniversary.

Next month, the Chicopee Historical Society starts its fall schedule of presentations. Join us on Wednesday, September 16th at the Chicopee Public Library when we go back to the beginning, to 1776, and how Chicopee experienced the Revolutionary War.

July 4, 1976, was the largest nationwide celebration of Independence Day. Several countries overseas joined in and wished us well. Anyone living today from their mid-fifties and older will have some memory of the Bicentennial. People who were schoolchildren then will likely have the most profound memories as the Revolution was part of our curriculum, field trips, and play, and seemed to permeate every facet of daily life. There was a resurgence of folk art and literature, and pop culture got on board in television and novels. Remember all that colonial-style furniture? The eagles, flags, and the Liberty Bell stamped on wall plaques, plates, and all manner of memorabilia? Perhaps you still have your two-dollar bill?

And pasted in most store advertising in newspapers as well, with images of Ben Franklin and George Washington promising honest savings on everything from tires to mayonnaise.

More than a single event, it was an enthusiastic experience that unified all ages, all manner of diversity in our extremely diverse culture, because we could all share it on some level. We will remember, especially, that it was not confined to the single day of July 4th, but seemed to begin at least a year or more earlier, and its effects lasted for several years post-1976.

The Bicentennial was like a mini-era. Bicentennial committees in towns and cities were formed well before 1976. It was as if we were willing ourselves to move past the tumult of the 1960s and early 1970s, from assassinations and the Vietnam War, from Watergate to inflation and oil crises to a temporary landing spot, a safe zone to regroup and find strength and renewed purpose based on the colonial tribulations of our American ancestors.

We had 50 states now. Our President was Gerald R. Ford, and it was an election year. His Vice President was Nelson Rockefeller, who was appointed, just as Ford had been appointed to fill the vacancy left originally by the resignation of Spiro T. Agnew who faced criminal investigations of extortion, bribery and tax fraud.

In Chicopee, our mayor was Howard W. Redfern. The Bicentennial era found us with our suburbia almost stretched out to our boundaries, a second high school and new middle school necessitated by the Baby Boom, our city bisected now by the Massachusetts Turnpike. The most notable change was the deactivation of Westover Air Force Base in 1973.

We did have a new addition that made a substantial commercial impact: the Fairfield Mall. It began with anchor stores Forbes and Wallace, and Two Guys both opening in August 1969 on either ends of the mall that wasn’t built yet. Construction progressed through the early ‘70s and the mall opened officially on October 28, 1974.

“The Bicentennial Begins Here,” was the Massachusetts state slogan, and it may as well have, for we began the party in 1975 with the 200th anniversary of the Battle of Lexington and Concord. There was the recreation of the dragging of cannon over the Knox Trail to Boston. Funds and grants were made available to establish or renovate parks, and historic markers reminded us of significant events as we sped past them.

In 1976, the Chicopee Bicentennial Committee planned concerts, the movie musical 1776 was shown in the Bellamy Middle School Auditorium for free. Maybe you went to the block party dance in the Ferris Department Store parking lot? Or attended the burial of the time capsule by City Hall.

A Bicentennial Ball was held at the Highpoint Motor Inn on Memorial Drive, and the city turned out for a parade from the Center to St. Stanislaus Church where the church hosted a picnic with hamburgers and hot dogs…and golumbki, pierogi, kielbasa, and kapusta. Tadeusz Kościuszko and Casimir Pulaski, two military commanders who came from Poland to volunteer in the American cause during the Revolutionary War, might have been pleased.

This was followed by a Polka Mass. July 4th fell on a Sunday that year.

But we were now in an era where television brought national events to every living room; and conversely, the public began to attend fewer local activities in preference to staying at home and watching TV. It was the sign of things to come, where in 50 years, we’d be more focused on our little screens than on each other.

That day, July 4th, 1976, we watched a day-long program on CBS (Channel 3 from Hartford – no cable TV or satellite dish then), called In Celebration of Us hosted by Walter Cronkite, featuring Charles Kuralt, scientist Margaret Mead, opera star Beverly Sills, home-run king Hank Aaron, and historians and reflections from everyday folks all over the U.S.

NBC – Channel 22 (Still broadcasting from Provin Mountain in Agawam – they had not yet moved here to Chicopee), had a similar day-long program called The Glorious Fourth with David Brinkley, John Chancelor, Betty Furness, Edwin Newman, and a similar nationwide scope of features.

The evening brought a Bob Hope special for the occasion.

Other events continued throughout the year. Perhaps the most profound effect on the public was a rejuvenated interest in American history. Locally, that took the form of rescuing two historic sites: the Edward Bellamy house, and the Little Red Schoolhouse.

The Bellamy House, on Church Street, home of world-famous 19th century author Edward Bellamy, was part of a string of historic homes on the southern side of the street that were saved -- only just -- from the wrecking ball that destroyed the entire other side of the street and almost all of Chicopee Falls during the Urban Renewal project of the late 1960s and early 1970s. It was only the day before, July 3rd, that Mayor Redfern greenlighted the proposal to establish a study committee to create a Church Street Historic District, the city’s first historic district. The Bellamy House had been designated a National Historic Landmark in November 1971. The Edward Bellamy Memorial Association had been formed in 1972 and purchased the Bellamy House. Restoration was planned for the next year, and free special tours were conducted that October of 1976.

The Little Red Schoolhouse on lower Chicopee Street, a two-story brick structure, had been built in 1846. The lower floor was used as a schoolroom for many grades – typical of a “one-room schoolhouse,” and the upper floor was used for storage at that time. In later years, the upper floor was also used as a second classroom, and this building remained a school until 1971. Afterwards, the School Department used the building for special classes, but then it was briefly put in use by a drug-prevention program run by the Chicopee Clergy Association until 1972.

A special committee of the School Committee was formed to restore the Little Red Schoolhouse for use as an educational museum. Partially funded by a state grant, a professional company was engaged to clean the brickwork, while vocational students were put to work making old-fashioned desks and chairs, a well, and, of course…a two-seat outhouse.

Chicopee Street, the oldest settled section of the city, had lost several historic homes over the years (and would continue), so saving the Little Red Schoolhouse and turning it into a museum was a hopeful project to preserve local history. Completed in 1976, it was proposed in 1978 that the building be turned over to the auspices of the Chicopee Historical Commission. However, in 1982, the building was put in use again as a daycare center for about 20 preschoolers. Ultimately, empty for many years, it was sold by the City of Chicopee in 2007 for $1,000 to developers, and is now a private home.

In the wake of the Bicentennial, two other efforts of cataloguing Chicopee history, if not always able to save pieces of it, were a monthly magazine, and the establishment of the Chicopee Historical Society.

The magazine, many of you will fondly remember was Chickuppy Magazine, founded by editor and publisher Sharon M. McConnell, which was published from 1981 to 1987. The popular monthly was free and available at local stores and the library.

The Chicopee Historical Society formed in 1986. This year marks its 40th anniversary.

The Historical Society, and the Edward Bellamy Memorial Association – two separate organizations, continue to commemorate and celebrate people, events, artifacts, and sites of Chicopee history, and both are always looking for new members and support. Currently, just as in 1976, the Bellamy House is taking steps for needed restoration.

Consider becoming part of the city’s history, rather than being a bystander.

And come back next week for our final July 4th anniversary, the 225th – in the year 2001, a new century, and a new millennium.

July 4, 1951, was the 175th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, and found us not only in the throes of the Cold War, but hot one as well. The Korean War began just over a year ago, in the summer of 1950.

We still were a nation of 48 states; Alaska and Hawaii wouldn’t join us until the end of the decade. Harry S. Truman was President; Alben W. Barkley was Vice President. Our mayor was Edward O. Bourbeau.

In Chicopee, we found ourselves on the proverbial frontlines of international events since World War II with the establishment of Westover Air Force Base in 1939. After World War II, in which over 6, 250 Chicopee men and women served; over 160 died, there was the Berlin Airlift and Operation Little Vittles keeping us involved as a community in world crises, and the base was responsible for bringing many newcomers to town. (And Westover drew national attention for being mentioned, and a fleeting glimpse of the base, in the movie The Big Lift (1950) about the Berlin Air Lift, with Montgomery Clift.)

The B52 bombers taking off and landing rattled our windows.

The city was changed and changing. The sections on the map in the past vaguely referred to as “Pine Barren,” were slowly starting to fill in with new streets and homes (the new Memorial Drive cut through the center of it like a spine), and schools that would be named for war vets who had died in service to the country. Our population was now over 56,000. Suburbia came to the factory town.

Nearly three weeks after we celebrated the Fourth, Gen. Douglas MacArthur, son of General Arthur MacArthur, mentioned in our post from 1901, came to Chicopee Falls to see both the monument raised to his father and the house in which his father lived until the age of eight, and his grandmother’s grave. More than 10,000 attended the festivities.

The location of the monument, “MacArthur’s Ball,” was moved from the intersection of Broadway and East Street to the altered Church Street during the Urban Renewal project in Chicopee Falls; which demolished the homestead.

We still had several movie theaters in town, but most of them different from the ones mentioned in the 1926 post. Now there was the Victoria and the Rivoli in the Center; the Falls, formerly the Wernick, in Chicopee Falls; and the Willow remained in Willimansett. A new addition: the Air-Line Drive-in opened in the May 1950 on Memorial Drive, that swath of land that was now filling up rapidly with homes, stores and businesses, and now, outdoor movies. All of the change in the geographic center of the city was due to the post-war car culture. It made Springfield and Holyoke easier to go to for shopping and entertainment.

Interestingly, there is little to no mention of 4th of July celebrations in the local newspapers for this year, and none for Chicopee, though some other towns had a parade or fireworks. It may be that MacArthur’s expected visit and procession from Union Station in Springfield to Chicopee Falls may have taken our attention and our resources away from Independence Day celebrations.

Fireworks, after all, were not hard to come by: they were shot off every week in the summer at Riverside Park in Agawam and at Mountain Park in Holyoke.

The ad for the drive-in suggests “Plan a 4th of July picnic in the new Air-Line picnic grove and kiddie land.” After which, as the sun set over the Berkshires, you could watch Whispering Smith (1948), a western with Alan Ladd; followed by China Sky (1945), a World War II movie.

Some folks were getting television, and you could spend your evening with the special kind of fireworks generated by comic Ernie Kovacs or Groucho Marx.

In suburbia, there was something else to distract: a backyard, for some people, the first in their families. Maybe even a barbecue grill.

We were perhaps still so absorbed by World War II in our rearview mirror and the new war in Korea in our present to be distracted by any sentiment for the Colonial era.

But, come back next week for the big one….July 4, 1976, and the Bicentennial.

July 4, 1926, was the 150th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence. Though the second-grade students at Alvord School in the photo above in colonial costume look sedate and dignified in their practice of the minuet, we were in the midst of the Roaring Twenties.

There were 48 states now. Calvin Coolidge, former mayor of Northampton and former Governor of Massachusetts, was President. He had taken over after the death of Warren G. Harding, and had been elected in his own right two years previously. Herbert Hoover was his Vice President. It had been less than a decade since we’d endured another war, World War I, and the notorious pandemic of the Spanish Influenza.

In Chicopee, our population climbed to just under 42,000. Michael I. Shea was our Mayor. There were cars on the streets and less horses, but the inclusion of trolley tracks made the three modes of transportation an exciting, if often dangerous, obstacle course. In this era, with our separate villages co-existing more or less independently from one another, most people lived, worked, went to school, and shopped in such close proximity that they did not need horses, cars, or trolleys to get about their daily lives.

But these new conveyances, as well as the train, did give many people for the first time an opportunity to make summertime vacations at nearby lakes, Riverside Park, and to visit the ocean.

(Not to dismiss horse-and-carriage traffic: there were still four blacksmiths in town.)

If one chose to stay at home, the new invention of radio seemed to bring the nation, and a world of entertainment, to one’s living room. There were also silent movies (called “photoplays”) packing them in at five theaters in town: the Grand, and the Royal in the Falls; The Midway on Grattan Street in Aldenville; the Playhouse in the Center (the Rivoli wouldn’t open until the following year of 1927 as “The Elms”); and the newest theater in town opening just this year: the Willow in Willimansett.

Prohibition, and the defiance of that law, made for even more exciting times, which could, like the traffic, prove sometimes dangerous.

We lost one of our most noted citizens this year when nationally known sculptor and bronze founder Melzar H. Mosman passed away at the age of 82 in January. You’ll remember from the post on July 4, 1876: he assisted his father in casting The Minute Man statue for Concord. Since then, he had created several monuments around the region and the country in Civil War memorials, Spanish-American War memorials, monuments to Lincoln, Grant, and other figures. His last statue was made for Chicopee, and it still stands on Front Street: his “Peace” statue celebrating the end of World War I, “the War to End All Wars.”

There were 1,277 men and women from Chicopee who served in World War I; 27 were killed or died in service. This included Private Frank J. Szot, who enlisted at the age of 21 and was the first in town to give his life in the war. In 1939, Szot Park would be created and dedicated in his honor.

July 4th was a special celebration this year, being the 150th anniversary of our nation. Many towns locally had much larger parades and events than was usual. It’s as if all the stops were pulled out in this decade of exuberance.

Chicopee’s parade, smaller than Holyoke or Springfield, but still substantial, had 1,000 marchers, including bands and floats. Organizations like the Knights of Columbus, the Chicopee Rod & Gun Club, Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, and churches were represented, and some manufacturers, like the J. Stevens Arms Company of the Falls. An estimated 20,000 lined the parade route, nearly half the population.

After the parade, children and adults participated in a field day at Lincoln Grove in the Falls. Among the foot races were a half-mile run, and a six-mile run, the route for which, upon leaving the park, went down Broadway, across the bridge and up Montgomery, to Columba, Grattan, down McKinstry, northward on Chicopee Street, down Front, then Ellerton and back to Lincoln Grove.

The parade route began in Chicopee Center, with a reviewing stand in front of the City Hall. Apparently, it was to progress up through either Chicopee or Meadow Street to Prospect Street in Willimansett. Five surviving Civil War vets rode in a car. The different divisions of the parade were headed by a rider on horseback; one of the riders was Dr. Armand O. Metivier, whose office was in Chicopee Falls and who was one of the city physicians.

There was a glitch, however. It seems the first division, having reached the Chicopee Street area, was supposed to pause and wait for the other divisions to catch up from the starting point on Exchange Street, but “broke away from the line of march agreed upon.” It seems they were not at the appointed spot when the rest of the parade caught up. “It was some time before it was found, three miles away.” They reunited at the foot of the Prospect Street hill. The division was jokingly referred to as “the lost parade.”

That evening, 10,000 assembled to watch fireworks, but the newspaper accounts don’t mention where they were held. Only one point stood out to the reporter: an enormous firework display to depict the famous “Spirit of ’76,” – “which was comprised of a mile and a half of fuse.”

Next week, a look at the 175th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence – July 4, 1951.

July 4, 1901, was the 125th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, celebrated in the new century, the 20th century. There were now 45 states, and William McKinley was the President. His vice president was Theodore Roosevelt, who would take over as President in two more months when McKinley was assassinated in September.

Poles immigrating since the 1880s, and immigrants from Greece since the 1890s, now made up the large part of our newcomers, and the total percentage of Chicopee’s population of around 20,000 that were foreign born at this time rose to 43 percent. Nearly half our population were immigrants.

We were a city now, since 1890, and our current mayor was James H. Loomis. Despite periodic strikes and labor disputes, we were still a manufacturing juggernaut, although the Dwight Manufacturing Company in the Center had in the last decade established another mill in Alabama. It was start of New England firms moving to the South where unions were not an issue and lower wages could be paid.

It was the year Frank Duryea joined with the Stevens Arms Company to form Stevens-Duryea to produce automobiles in Chicopee Falls.

There were still several farms in town, and trolleys linked our neighborhoods.

The nation had finished the 19th century with another war, the Spanish-American War in 1898, acquiring Puerto Rico, Guam, and the Philippines (which was later given its independence in 1946). For the first time, we were considered a world power. Eighteen men from Chicopee served with the Second Regiment of Massachusetts Volunteer Militia, and several others served with the Sixth Massachusetts Regiment. The Second Regiment were part of the expeditionary force that invaded Cuba in June and fought at Sevilla. Some other Chicopee men served in the militia of other states, and also in the U.S. Navy. The war had lasted just under four months.

Major General Arthur MacArthur, Jr., was appointed military governor of the Philippines upon the American takeover after that war. Born in Chicopee in 1845, he was a Medal of Honor recipient for his action in the Civil War. The “MacArthur’s Ball” monument, now on Church Street, in the Falls was dedicated him in 1942. On July 4, 1901, he was succeeded by future President William Howard Taft as Governor-General.

The Springfield Daily Republican on July 4, 1901, noted that most businesses, including all the mills, would be closed in Chicopee for the holiday. “There will be little of interest happening in Chicopee, and many people will take advantage of the respite from labor to find a shady spot where they can keep cool…There will be a largely attended lawn party of St. Patrick’s Church in Lincoln grove, which will be heralded by a parade, led by the lyceum drum corps in the morning. Music will be furnished for dancing during the day, and refreshments will be served on the grounds.”

At that time, Lincoln Grove was not a city park, but was a lot that belonged to the Chicopee Manufacturing Company. The city had been in negotiations to buy it from the company for the first park in Chicopee Falls.

What was predicted in the newspaper for July 4th as “little interest,” turned into a lively account in the next day’s paper, July 5th, of Independence Day revelries. Just after midnight, in the wee hours of July 4th, gangs of boys rang cowbells through the streets in the Center. Then the bell of the Third Congregational Church, later known as the Federated Church, later still as Christ's Community Church on Springfield Street (now closed), pealed the midnight hour, “cannon” firework salutes were popped and “firecrackers got very busy.”

“To add to the confusion, a large crowd of boys gathered about Market square and built bonfires on three streets leading from it. A good-sized blaze was started near Howard’s blacksmith shop on Center Street, the fuel for which was a number of strawberry crates that had been left outside one of the grocery stores. Almost simultaneously, fires were started outside the Columbian hotel on Exchange street and on Springfield street, until one time five fires were in progress at the same time, all being built on the car [trolley] tracks…The police could do little to restrain the enthusiastic youth, who seemed to be ubiquitous. Officer Tobin, on whose beat the demonstration was principally confined, was showered with flour from a bag which was thrown into a crowd.”

It was reported that Chicopee Falls enjoyed a much quieter evening. One wonders if poor Officer Tobin requested a transfer there.

A few ghastly firework accidents occurred, but no fatalities, and the reporter cheerfully proclaimed, “The list of casualties for the day was materially less than any other Fourth for a number of years.”

Next week – July 4, 1926 – the 150th anniversary of the nation’s founding. The Glorious Fourth in the Roaring Twenties.
