Memorial Day Special..More to Come!

Maybe we will have a new collectable book!

Thank You..to all that attend our yard sale last weekend.  A Thank You to the sales crew... Michele Kelly, Carolyn Tine and Don, Barbara Keough, Judy Wilson, and Pam Wexler.  Thank you to Jim Monahan for the use of the building and to our tent people..Jen Caloia, Michele Kelly, and any other volunteers. Unfortunately we had to take it down because of the wind, but we just closed early to escape the rain...and we did.

The Museum was open and we had some great visitors even though it was horrible out.  Thank You to Doug and Diane Chilson, who helped us by bringing Dougs personal belongings for our display and answered questions! Barb Keough and I toughed it out...so for those who didn't dare visit in the bad weather, Barb and I will hold it open Sunday, June 2 and will be there from 1-3 pm.


Memorial Day next year will be special for Eaton as it is the 30th anniversary of our Bicentennial Day! I am hoping we can get the Parade in Eaton for the Event and we can get some Revolutionary War re-enactors to help us remember what that time was like.

                                                         Jim Monahan and his gun crew

 I am hoping to do some Blogs about our revolutionary War soldiers from Eaton, as well as the history of our involvement as the first settlement area of Madison County. We can recount information on the bark hut, Col. William Smith and much more!  I am also trying to put together a blog for the museum called "Back Street Mary's Place.
