Response: Certain Canadian and US groups who took issue with Trudeau, government vaccine policies, mandates, etc. have developed an ongoing relationship with village residents.

CROTON’S CONNECTION TO THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE
CROTON’S CONNECTION TO THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE
Croton Crafts and Commerce | Facebook
As we prepare to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the day when the Continental Congress formally approved the Declaration of Independence in Philadelphia, Crotonites should take pride in our connection to crucial events that took place five days later in White Plains. On the afternoon of July 9, 1776, Colonel Pierre Van Cortlandt voted—as a member of the Provincial Congress of the Province of New-York—to approve the Declaration of Independence. Click the link to read the story of how his brave vote officially created the “State of New-York” and made the Declaration of Independence unanimous.
You can see the County’s rare copy of the Declaration at the Neuberger Museum of Art, SUNY Purchase, on display from July 4 to December 20, 2026.
