The First Reunion
In 1935, the first Westcott Society Reunion got underway in Salem, Massachusetts, where Stukely and Juliana Westcott and their children first settled in North America 300 years earlier. Then, just like the first Westcotts, the gathering migrated to Providence, R.I. for more tours and festivities. See photos from both locales at the 1935 Reunion page.

We have lots of great 2018 Reunion photos posted on the 2018 REUNION page under the REUNIONS tab above.
