What’s inside

  • 5 large print multiple-choice questions about Charlemont: how many people lived there, how the town grew, how the town changed and which county it is in
  • A Remember When page of conversation starters built from the same facts
  • A Charlemont word search with names and places from town history
  • A page for the group leader with every answer, a short note on each one and where it came from

A sample question: About how many people lived in Charlemont in 1950? The answer is in the kit.

Every fact is checked twice

A question only makes it into a kit when two independent public sources agree on the answer. Population counts and the county must match the U.S. Census Bureau’s own published figures as well as Wikipedia or Wikidata. People and places must match both Wikipedia and Wikidata, and every wrong choice is checked too, so no one is marked wrong for a right answer. Questions that fail any check are left out. The sources for each answer are printed on the leader’s page.
