PHOTOS AND MORE, 2019 HISTORIC SUNDAY AT ASBURY UNITED METHODIST CHURCH

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.
 
ON SEPTEMBER 1ST, Croton's Asbury Methodist Church held its annual "Historic Sunday" in the historic Bethel Chapel.  During the summer months, Methodist services are held in this "original" location as opposed to the main church in the Upper Village.  Click on the photos and links.

The wooden clapboard structure has not changed very much over the years and contains an organ said to be one of the oldest in the United States. Bethel Chapel and cemetery are listed on the NYS Register of Historic Places and in the National Registry.

On Historic Sunday, members dress in period costumes and the format of the service followed that used in the late 1700's.  This year's Historic Sunday centered on 1919 and the end of World War 1.

Stay tuned for more photos.
