30Th Annual Memorial Day Event

MEMORIAL DAY EVENT

The Old Town of Eaton will be cerebrating its 230th year on Memorial Day Weekend. The weekend follows a traditional cerebration held in the town each year, a town whose history is steeped in the time after the Revolutionary War.

Settled by many veterans of the war and part of the original settlement of Madison County, it prides itself with history remembered and its roots as Madison County’s first clearing. Once part of Chenango County, Eaton was separated off and boasts settlement by families moving west to stake their claim on the new America’s western frontier. The Eaton Village Cemetery has many Revolutionary War Soldiers buried in it!

For this years event the Old Town of Eaton Museum will be hosting a large yard sale on Memorial Day Weekend on Sunday, May 25th and Monday May 26th, from 9 am until 3 pm both days.

As usual the set up will be at the Old Auction Barn building next to the Eaton Post Office on Rt. 26 in the Hamlet of Eaton. Though this years parade will be in Peterboro, the usual History Day Celebration will mark Eatons Memorial Day. The museum will be open from 10 am until 3 pm in honor of the Eaton Communities 230th Anniversary.

The Yard Sale will feature everything from furniture to gifts, household small appliances, gift items, books, kitchen items, figurines and more. The Cat Gift Sale will benefit the Old Town of Eaton Museum and the not for profit charity - 4 Community Cats. There will also be a Bake Sale!

The usual can drive to benefit both organizations will gladly take your holiday cans that can be dropped off at the weekend event, or left at 5823 Brooklyn Street, or given to one of our groups members.

So Mark this on your Calendar and visit!
