\"\"<\/a>Memorial Day is here again and for the 22nd time, Memorial Day Monday will be\u00a0\u201cEaton Day.\u201d The day started in 1995 to show the history of a community and town\u00a0that formed out of the Revolutionary War and its soldiers who settled here to start a\u00a0new life.<\/p>\n

Always held on Memorial Day Monday in the Hamlet of Eaton, \u201cEaton Day\u201d located on Rt. 26, at the Old Auction barn next to the Post Office, so there is plenty of parking. Eaton Day has turned into a celebration of community much like an Old Hometown Day.<\/p>\n

The Day which runs from 9 am until 3 pm, features a gigantic Pie & Bake Sale, Gift\u00a0Sale, Book Sale, Raffle Baskets, Hot Dogs & Soda and more! The Old Town Museum\u00a0will have its history book Sale with books and tee shirts on local history themes.<\/p>\n

The Friends of the Old Town of Eaton Museum host this event as a way to earn money for the Old Town of Eaton Museum and this year will feature a Book Sale,\u00a0Rummage Sale and a Tin Sale. As an added feature Tommy Hoe will be there with his\u00a0guitar.<\/p>\n

This year the parade will be in Pererboro, but it is hoped that all will return to the\u00a0event, in the Hamlet of Eaton, which celebrates the history of its former citizens that\u00a0fought at Lexington and Concord, Bunker Hill, Cedar Creek and defended\u00a0Washington, DC before the outbreak of the Civil War. The historic Eaton Cemetery\u00a0contains the remains of soldiers of all wars up to the present, as well as many of the\u00a0nationally famous writers, inventors, and businessmen who lived there.<\/p>\n

So come on down to Eaton, buy a hot dog and soda, buy a treat for the family or your\u00a0loved ones, learn some history and enjoy catching up with your neighbors and\u00a0friends.<\/p>\n

The Old Town of History Museum will be open that day for tours from 1 pm until\u00a03pm. The best news is this year your donations are tax-deductible and will be\u00a0helping keep Eaton\u2019s artifacts and its history alive for generations to come.<\/p>\n
