Welcome to Everything Croton, a collection of all things Croton--our history, our homes, our issues, our businesses, our schools--in short, EVERYTHING CROTON.

Seeger, who popularized This Land Is Your Land and We Shall Overcome and wrote If I Had a Hammer and Turn, Turn, Turn, never liked the term folk music. READ MORE HERE http://www.usatoday.com/story/life/music/2014/01/28/pete-seeger-obit-appreciation/4781403/

    1. The society is open on Mondays--10 am--that's a big working day for them--archiving, working on newsletters, exhibits, etc. Currently there is a Postcard exhibit worth seeing.
