Welcome to
EverythingCroton, a collection of all things Croton--our history, our homes,
our issues, our businesses, our schools--in short, EVERYTHING CROTON.
At the recent Pearl Harbor ceremony here in Croton (click on the link to see some photos: http://everythingcroton.blogspot.com/2012/12/photos-2012-pearl-harbor-remembrance.html) we got to chatting with a veteran about what "wartime Christmases" were like in Croton. That inspired us to pay a visit to The Croton Historical Society. Here's only some of what we found in their amazing newspaper archives. Click on the scans below.
