CURRENTLY HOT ON LOCAL SOCIAL MEDIA

Many of us are not on social media, but we often get to hear about it and are sometimes sent screenshots--here's only some issues currently burning up local social media in no particular order:

***The school candidates forum at the Episcopal church (St. Augustine) was very well attended; lots of chatter--and positive adjectives---thoughtful candidates, well moderated by Croton Community Coalition, etc. You should have no problem finding this across multiple village pages, forums, etc. Do your own diligence.

***Bots, bots, everywhere a facebook bot....no further comment necessary.

***Jacob Day apparently had a recent kickoff that was very well attended. Lots of positive Day chatter.

***Summerfest chatter. Lots of excitement about warmer days and Summerfest. Talk about honoring former mayor Greg Schmidt as a future Grand Marshall in the parade....

***Lots of anti Hasan Piker Chatter; not going to bother with any of it; you'll find this easily across multiple pages, media, etc.

***Few attempts, at least locally, to defend the SPLC. Not going to bother with any of it. It's out of our hands.

THIS WEEK'S 250TH ANNIVERSARY--WHERE HISTORY LIVES--INSTALLMENT---TOWN OF CORTLANDT---IS CROTON'S VAN CORTLANDT MANOR!

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

Van Cortlandt Manor, is a 175-acre National Historic Landmark site, owned by the not-for-profit education organization.

The first Van Cortlandt in America, Oloff, came to New Amsterdam in 1638 as an employee of the Dutch West India Company. When the Company permitted independent businesses, he left the Company and began a career as a merchant, achieving both wealth and prominence as a merchant and politician. After the English took control of New York, he became an alderman and deputy Mayor. In 1642, he married Annette Lookermanns, the daughter of a well-to-do Dutch merchant. Their children married into other large Hudson Valley landholders' families and soon the Van Cortlandt family was connected by marriage with most of the eminent New York families of the time. Oloff's oldest son, Stephanus, pursued careers in business and politics concurrently. He, too, married well. His wife was Gertruyd Schuyler. Among his political accomplishments, he held the position of Mayor of New York and Chief Justice of the New York Provincial Supreme Court, the latter being one of the highest honors being accorded to a colonial.
