“The Story of the Tower Family”

March 14th at 2:00pm

On March 14, 2021, at 2:00pm, the Clinton Historical Society will host it’s latest monthly presentation entitled, “The Story of the Tower Family”. From nearby Waterville to the Kremlin, from the iron mines of Minnesota to the race track of Sebring the Story of the Tower Family is a riveting account of one family’s impact on American history. Plan to listen in as resident and local historian Wade Lallier tells the story of this family dynasty of power and prosperity in the latter half of the 19th Century and the first half of the 20th century. The story begins with the prosperous businessman and father, Reuben Tower. Next came the rise of Charlemagne Tower (a direct descendant through his mother from the first Holy Roman Emperor) with his service during The American Civil War, his passion for land acquisition and major influence on the coal and railroad industries.

His son, Charlemagne Tower, Jr. became a professor at the University of Pennsylvania. He served as Minister to Austria-Hungary for President McKinley before being transferred to Russia As Ambassador. He later served as Ambassador to Germany under President Theodore Roosevelt.

Wade Allen Lallier, a resident of Waterville , holds a bachelor’s degree in social studies from Syracuse University. He is President of the Clinton Historical Society and author of “Chenango Canal The Million Dollar Ditch”.

Out of an abundance of care for the health of the public, there will be no in person audience. The program is free and open to the public. The entire program will be conducted virtually on March 14, 2021 via Zoom at 2:00pm. It will be recorded and placed later on the Clinton Historical Society You Tube Channel .

To gain access to the Zoom link for this event please contact the Clinton Historical Society’s e-mail address and request it: clintonhistoricalsociety1@gmail.com

- AROUND TOWN -

What a week of spring weather to spoil us before cooler temperatures return next week, before the official first day of Spring. We haven't met a single person who doesn't have spring fever now!

The village sign had already been updated with the one hour Spring Ahead (as they will not be attending to that at 12:01am on Sunday). Temperatures continued to warm to the 50s, even if it wasn't quite as warm as Thursday and that wind was gusting in cooler air.

A beautiful few days sure did a lot of snow removal! Sidewalks are mostly bare, and snowbanks are melting away to almost nothing. For anyone with basements that easily take on water, it has been a wonderful. slow melt.
