Welcome to Everything Croton, (while the New One is down) a collection of all things Croton--our history, our homes, our issues, our businesses, our schools, our houses of worship--in short, EVERYTHING CROTON.
JUST A REMINDER--the Town Cortlandt Ice Rink officially opened on November 23rd---for more info, visit www.townofcortlandt.com/icerink).
