HAPPY 4TH OF JULY CROTON!

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. 

Happy Fourth of July Croton!  To celebrate, a collection of vintage and current "July 4TH" and "patriotic" Croton links...

p.s. If old-fashioned USA displays of pride give you the vapors, just move along. For everyone else, click on the photos and links--a recent photo of the Dummy Light--the "garden" frontage has since been removed.
