WHAT DID YOU DO TODAY?
In 1890, the Tremont village ordinances outlined strict guidelines for Sundays:
It shall not be lawful for any person or persons in Tremont on the first day of the week, commonly called Sunday, to engage in the amusement or exercise of dancing or fiddling, singing songs, jumping, drilling, skating, running foot races, running horses, playing at ball, 10 pins, billiards, cards, marbles, or any other games, wrestling, boxing, pitching quoits, fishing, hunting, or in any amusement of the like nature. And every person convicted of any of the offenses last enumerated, shall forfeit and pay the same penalty as in section one hereof provided. (Pay not less than one dollar or more than $100.)
