| Old Town of Eaton Museum |
Dreary as it has been the past few days, at least it is not
SNOWING! It is May 1 however,
and so it is time to get out the information on Eaton Day! Once again our
historical group will be hosting Eaton Day in the Hamlet of Eaton and as always ...invite everyone to come and join us in our history celebration.
This year’s event is scheduled as always for May 29th,
Memorial Day Monday, from 9:00 am until 3:00 pm. It will be the 22nd
time the event has been held to honor Eaton’s rich history. The event also brings the Town of Eaton
together... in actuality it is like an
“Old Hometown Day”!
As always the event will feature the Huge Museum Pie Sale, raffles, rummage sale, and the usual Hot Dogs and Soda with a whole lot of history
thrown in.
The Old Town of Eaton Museum itself will be open from 1 pm until 3
pm, with its rich history on full display, much of it dating from 1797
forward! Yes, Eaton is that old... and
hence why the museum is called the “Old Town of Eaton Museum”. Just a short hop down the road from the
museum is the marker for the first clearing in Madison County dating to 1788.
The group that is putting the event on “Friends of the Old
Town of Eaton Museum,” is excited because it has recently become a federally
recognized charity, something the group has been working for a long time.
If any of the local societies or clubs would like to set up
at the event… please email backstreetmary@yahoo.com. If anyone would like to volunteer to bake or
help sell please email backstreetmary@yahoo.com
as well.
So come out and celebrate a history that started with
Revolutionary Soldiers who came to the wilderness call New York to find homes....and to found communities for their children and the future!
