In 1962 Port Royal celebrated its 150th Birthday. The celebration included a parade, beard growing contest and antique garb.

If you copy and insert the link below into your browser you can watch a video of the parade that was taken by John Leidy, Sr. (It appears from the video that John was located in front of the Community Building on 4th Street (more commonly known as Fairview)).
