THE CROTON PHOTOGRAPHER #11

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.

LIFE IN CROTON KEEPS YOU BUSY...but we've found the time to resume our blog series: THE CROTON PHOTOGRAPHER.

At tonight's White House Bill signing and Washington 4th watch party, one of the neighbors remarked that today's Shorpy featured a photographer from Croton tagged especially for the holiday!

As many of you know, photographer Marion Post Wolcott was one of the village's most notable residents; you can read more about that here.

Our intrepid Everything Croton Elf discovered some of her photos, including one for July 4th, 1939, on the SHORPY website.  The one shown below is of a street in Louisville in 1940. Click on the image.  See a high resolution at Kentucky Akimbo: 1940 | Shorpy | Old Photos
