AND NOW A LITTLE SILENT FILM HISTORY: THE CROTON CONNECTION, A 2021 UPDATE

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. 

Recently the Everything Croton Elves and I were remarking on the village's rich connection to the silent film industry...yes, there was Gloria Swanson of course, but...there was much more.  This has been an ever expanding Croton list!
