Welcome
to Everything Croton, a collection of all things Croton--our history, our
homes, our issues, our businesses, our schools--in short, EVERYTHING
CROTON.
For village residents, the name Edward (Ed) Rondthaler will be forever
synonymous with Croton-on-Hudson. You can read more about him here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward_Rondthaler
As many of you know, Rondthaler donated his scrapbooks to The Croton Historical
Society some years ago Filled with newspaper clippings, some notes and photos, they
are a time capsule of village life...and as promised, Everything Croton
and the trusty elves will be sharing some of these pages with you
throughout 2015.

Imagine that. No life jackets, no sunscreen, no hats, how ever did we survive.
