For years Montgomery has maintained strong and
tangible links to its past. Now, at the dawn of the new millennium,
changes are afoot that will result in a tremendous transformation of our
township and a quality of life that we have come to know and love. As
farmland and historic sites give way to developments, this pictorial
history preserves forever a portion of our proud and shining heritage so
future generations can remember and learn of life as it once was in
Montgomery. Montgomery, New York focuses on our agricultural roots,
schools, churches, and how our forefathers survived in a time
long forgotten. This collection presents the best of William and John
Crabtree's photographic legacy and highlights our surviving historic
sites as well as those no longer in existence. Each section of this book
includes rare photos dating from the 1870s to the present, all of which
are accompanied by an
insightful narrative that uncovers many little-known facts about the
Town and its people.
