The Tilton-Northfield Old Home Day, celebrated on June 27, 2026, emphasized “America’s 250th: Freedom, Unity, and Community.” The event featured a parade with local organizations, police escorts, and community participation, reflecting New Hampshire’s tradition created in 1899 to foster connections and encourage residents to return to their hometowns despite modern challenges.
In April 2026, journalist Dexter Dow reached out to Northfield legislators Greg Hill, James Thibault, and Howard Pearl for their positions on four significant bills, including a controversial student ID ban and a citizenship verification mandate. None responded. Their votes are now public, with ongoing legal challenges expected for these laws.
