\"museum\"<\/a>On Memorial Day Monday, May 30, the Friends of the Old Town of\u00a0Eaton Museum will be hosting the 21st annual \u201cEaton Day,” an event held in the Hamlet of Eaton on Route 26; it is an\u00a0opportunity for the Town of Eaton residents past and present to enjoy\u00a0history, memories and good homemade baked goods with special\u00a0activities thrown in!<\/p>\n

The theme of this year’s event is \u201cPreserving the Past for the Future,” a\u00a0statement that is a perfect description of the importance of the Old\u00a0Town of Eaton Museum that is proud of the many artifacts and stories\u00a0that are preserved within its 200-plus year walls.<\/p>\n

The Friends of the Old Town of Eaton Museum hold \u201cEaton Day\u201d in an\u00a0effort to raise money for the upkeep the museum building and to fund the event each year. The mission of the group is to responsibly\u00a0sustain the museum building and contents as a significant evolving\u00a0repository of local history and artifacts through fundraising, tours and\u00a0celebrations of which \u201cEaton Day\u201d each year is an important part.<\/p>\n

The group feels it is important for the citizens of the Town of Eaton to\u00a0recognize that the artifacts housed within the walls of the Eaton\u00a0Museum, those heirlooms that may come to us in the future and those\u00a0people, both living and dead who form the tapestry of our community\u00a0are, in fact, our inheritance. Also, by engaging the community on Eaton\u00a0Day, they hope to protect the Town\u2019s shared heritage and leave a legacy\u00a0for the future and the future of the Old Town of Eaton Museum.<\/p>\n

The day features a huge bake and pie sale, tours of the museum,\u00a0food, crafts and rummage tables, as well as entertainment and history,\u00a0with its theme of Preserving the Past for the Future, is a perfect\u00a0explanation of the museum\u2019s goals.<\/p>\n

Eaton Day starts at 9 a.m. and goes to 4 p.m., with special presentations\u00a0starting after the parade, which this year is in Morrisville.\u00a0Come join the Eaton Community for an old fashioned day of fun and\u00a0community pride, Eaton Day!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
