Dedication of the Riverwalk Gazebo to Doctor Raymond Galloway
The dedication of the Riverwalk Gazebo to long-time Wilton physician “Doc” Galloway took place on the Opening Day of the Old Homes Days celebration on August 10, 2024 at 4:00 p.m. Many Wilton residents (and former patients of the Doc) as well as family and friends attended the event.
The Rev Dr. Gary Klingsporn from the Second Congregational Church in Wilton gave the opening invocation. Town officials Jennifer Beck (Economic Development Team) and Kermit Williams (Select Board member) spoke of the importance of Doc Galloway to the town, and thanked the family for their generous contribution towards the building of the gazebo, which was largely funded through a grant from the AARP and erected through volunteer efforts.
Harvey Galloway, the son of the Doc gave a wonderful talk about Doc Galloway’s life, his own memories of his father’s practice in Wilton, what life was like for a small-town physician after the war and into the ‘60’s. Truly, we will never experience again a committed, local doctor who treated everyone and made house calls!
Jennifer then invited members of the audience to contribute their memories and anecdotes about the good doctor. One speaker was Dick Putnam, who read an article he had written about Doc Galloway, which can be found here: https://www.wiltonnh.gov/about_wilton/interesting_people__wilton_profiles/doc_galloway
Then a bronze plaque was unveiled, anchored to an impressive boulder sitting to the side of the gazebo.
The entire town of Wilton is grateful to Doc Galloway for so many years of service as our local “Doc”, and thanks the Galloway family for their generous support in helping build this new downtown gathering space.
