DescriptionView of a group of people milling around on a large lawn, in what is probably Manchester, Connecticut. There are two carriages in the midst of the crowd. There are train tracks in the foreground and one man is walking across them. In the background there are several large houses, with a few tall, leafless trees dispersed in a row just in front of them. There are telephone poles and lines running between two of the houses.
