Of interest with the Clinton Historical Society, the Story of the Tower Family!

  

“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

Another great round of Fire Department history, this time for March 7th. 

Compliments of Louis Langone:
92 years ago today, March 7, 1929, the Villages third major block fire, the Norton, O'Conner, Ruane, block, along where the Waterville Times is now. Estimated loss of $250,000.00. Very cold temperatures, 5 mutual aid companies, WFD's new pumper got put to its first big test.

The Marshall Historical Society captured some of yesterday's sunshine on Gridley Paige Road. It may have been a mere 20 degrees, but a temporary spring warm up is on our way over the next few days! The maple trees will be happily flowing.

A more frozen, snow covered sight in 2007!
March 7, 2007
As much as people may be wishing the snow away, so far the month of March is far less snow filled than many years. 
While we all have gotten used to Route 12 occasionally being closed. What we really appreciate in this picture is spruce up those buildings have seen since! While we're looking for a photo with the view straight on,  you can see below that the view looking east behind the clock is quite lovely these days.
