THE VINTAGE CROTON HISTORIAN, CROTON & THE ARTS, SUMMER OF 2007

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

If you're not yet a member of the Croton Historical Society, you're missing out on their quarterly publication: THE CROTON HISTORIAN. This informative publication always entertains--it also deepens your appreciation of why we live in Croton in the first place and is a perk that comes with membership. 


As promised, EverythingCroton is now featuring selected pages from vintage editions of The Croton Historian for your reading pleasure: this week's proverbial blast from the past comes from the SUMMER OF 2007 edition–CROTON & THE ARTS. Click on the scans below. Editor's Note: Gleason lived in the town of Cortlandt but had close ties and made many forays into Croton. His Riff Jazz album included pieces with the names “Croton Craze” and “Cortlandt Clipper”.
