Missionaries of Eaton
While working on a new book named “The History You Never Knew” the past few days, I came across much information that has actually never come to light in regular history books. Many of the young folk in Eaton actually tried to become missionaries to exotic lands many were successful. It seems the lure of Burma and Siam was a firm and large part of the missionary movement here in the early…

Eaton and the Chenango Canal
Eaton and the Chenango Canal
The Chenango Canal is really an interesting and important part of Eaton’s history. In reality though…only a small part of it is in Eaton…but that small part was probably the most important part of it, as it is through Eaton that all the water for the main section of the canal flowed to fill it. The waters of the Leland Ponds, Woodman Pond, Lebanon Reservoir (once know as Kingsley Brook…

D- Day Anniversary and the Anniversary of the Eaton Church
Today is a special day as it is the 75 Anniversary of D-Day and in Eaton, it is the day the current Eaton Church was dedicated on June 6th in 1833. It’s the historic sight I see while having coffee in the morning. At that time it was the Congregational Church, its founding members included two of the original incorporators of the…

The Chenango Canal & its Engineers
The Chenango Canal & its Engineers
On October 26, 1825, at the “Wedding of the Waters”, America’s first civil engineers became legend. The NYS Historical Marker on the site of the house of James Geddes in the Town of Camillus, on busy Genesee Street near the Fairmount Shopping Center, cannot possibly tell the whole story of New York’s Canal system. One of the most remarkable facts regarding the building of the New York…

This week I finally have been able to start back on a project I started before becoming injured and ill, a film on the Chenango Canal that we have been working on for a few years. The Canal is really an interesting an important part of Eaton’s history. In reality though…only a small part of it is in Eaton…but that small part was probably…

History Marches on in Today's World....
History Marches on in Today’s World….
The history of Eaton Village and the Town of Eaton have continued now for over 230 years plus, in a way it is just a pebble in the sand of time.
The horses and the wagons that carried people to this once wilderness have disappeared and in their place have sprung up horse facilities and horse farms of all variety…but these for more pleasant enterprises than hauling people and their belongings up…

A New Year for the Old Town of Eaton Museum
A New Year for the Old Town of Eaton Museum
Words cannot describe the 20 plus years we (I) have spent down here trying to keep the history of Eaton alive. Time mixed with memories that are both good and bad.
The original group of Neighbors for Historic Eaton formed out of the group that put on the Bicentennial for the Hamlet of Eaton… a thing that took great co-operation and time…and much effort.
The result of this is the Old Town…

For All My Friends & My Favorite Christmas Poem
Once again on the week behore Christmas I find myself lost amid old memories, problems of the present… and the dificulties of living in this (at the very moment) place in history where in seconds news is flashed, reflashed, disected and rehashed within the blink of an eye.
So.. I decided to try and go back to a much nicer time, a time when…

Thoughts on Fall & the Families of Eaton
The Fall is coming on us quickly, and while getting ready stacking wood and thinking of our next museum event, ” Fall Festival History Weekend” followed by our November Pie Sale…I dug this up and thought you might enjoy reading it again!
Many of our original settlers in Eaton date back to the Mayflower and the settlers of Natick especially the Morse, Leland, Kent and Stowe families. Eaton…
