Welcome to Everything Croton, a collection of all things Croton--our history, our homes, our issues, our businesses, our schools--in short, EVERYTHING CROTON.We stopped by THE CROTON HISTORICAL SOCIETY last week where everyone was working hard on the new exhibit, sorting new material, and more—to take a look at some baseball and basketball photos from the village’s illustrious sports history. The society has an excellent archive, all of it handy at a moment’s notice. Kudos to the volunteers for their ongoing efforts to preserve this part of Croton’s heritage. They do it so well!
With Croton’s basketball team in the news so much these days, we thought you’d enjoy seeing some photos from the 1916 and 1928-1929 teams respectively. Click on the photo to the right to see the 1916 team!
Then click on this link for the 1928-1929 team http://www.flickr.com/photos/22283683@N07/6829499505/in/photostream Pictured in the back row: Coach Campbell, Albert MacDougall, John Jacobs, Douglas Travis and Dr. T.J. Wagner; in the front row: Aubrey Munson, Carmen Cignarale, John Picciano, Joe Nutall, Joe Kimball
As an added bonus, you can catch a glimpse of what life was like back in 1916 by viewing THE 1916 SEARS CHRISTMAS CATALOG, which we have been scanning little by little here at Everything Croton! http://www.flickr.com/photos/22283683@N07/sets/72157625908978489/
Our historical society is one of the best around and when you think of all the man(and woman)hours they put into the place, it is a remarkable thing.
