Sunday, October 22nd... will mark our 25th Fall History Day! The museum which celebrated its 25th year on May 3rd. will host a special Fall Day to kick off the end of the history season and the start of the next!
The museum building and its little "AG" Museum next door will be open from 12 until 3 pm will have refreshments and a hope to sign up some new members to join. This would also be a good time for the community to make monetary donations to keep this important piece of local history alive. Until you get older you never realize how important a role the small town you were born in has played and how it shaped your life. In actuality it is part of your family because in many cases your parent or grandparents may have come from the town as well.
In Eaton many of the founding families are still here, names that still fill classrooms, societies and eventually come home to rest in our local cemeteries. History and our American root system are what hold us together as a people, and hold our tree of Democracy upright.
Community Spirit has made us what we are so... we here at the museum call ourselves the “Keepers of the Fire” for the community… known as the Friends of the Eaton Museum… we invite you and your family to come to Eaton on Fall History Day.
This will also give you the opportunity to visit over refreshments with neighbors and relatives… some not seen over the Summer. You will also be helping keep open an 1806 stone building that houses the “Past for the Future”. It is nice to remember that memories are still a part of our “Reveries” whether we are young or old!
Put the sound on and visit with the past in the video!
