Old Home Day is Charlton’s summer highlight, always scheduled around Labor Day and always a great time.

Established in 1897, the event celebrates the community spirit of a small town with backing by local businesses and organizations. 

The activities are free and residents of Charlton and neighboring towns are welcome, along with friends, families and acquaintances. Enjoy games, athletic challenges, vendors, good food and music.
