--A reader is seeking "some military uniform" images she spotted here a long time ago but  can't remember the name of the artist".

RESPONSE--you no doubt mean the MILITARY ART OF H. CHARLES McBARRON, FROM THE ARCHIVES OF THE CROTON HISTORICAL SOCIETY; these were large very impressive prints as I recall, commissioned around the 1960's, and donated by a resident. You'll find the post HERE.

---A reader recalls a post about the village's art collection but can't find it. Can you help?

RESPONSE: You probably mean this one: EverythingCroton: SUMMER NEWSLETTER 2021, THE CROTON HISTORICAL SOCIETY: CROTON'S MUNICIPAL ART COLLECTION
