Traditions have always been a part of the ladies' lives on Record Street, but they have assumed various forms over the century. Donation Day was an important event every October when Fredericktonians would bring everything from hominy and kraut to pickles and preserves to help fill the pantry for the coming year. Canning, too, was done on the premises, often with residents helping, until state regulations forced both activities to a halt.  Yet, there are still traditions and activities unique to the Record Street Home, including:

• The Strawberry Festival each June; 
• monthly social hour;
• “Late Sleepers' morning breakfast;” and,
• special entertainment on "Second Saturday" each month.
