The map’s legend does not include an attribution naming Pharoux, nor does it bear the cryptic name “Pharmix” which William Pelletreau attributed as the map’s creator. The map is glued into Map Book One, and there may be obscured writing on the map which can no longer be read. It is very likely this local copy may have been the one Pelletreau used as a reference when writing his chapter on Athens in Beers’ History of Greene County. Unknown, from Pierre Pharoux.

The Three Images above were all engraved by Charles Balthazar Julien Févret de Saint-Mémin as part of his efforts to prepare enticing promotional material in partnership with Pierre Pharoux for their patrons who were developing a planned community on the banks of the Hudson at modern Athens, New York. These buildings, (which were never realized) offered potential investors a glimpse of the beautiful opportunity offered by the latest trends joining modern architecture with urban planning - in essence realizing the ideals of the new American republic in brick and mortar. https://vedderresearchlibrary.org/gc-historians-blog/2021/10/18/stereographs-of-the-catskills monthly 0.5 2025-08-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d3dc3ae9bfdfba3b1b9958/1634667319146-KWYFJQ6UZ8JIGMAL9X07/PC-2020-0010-0010.jpg Greene County Historian's Blog - Stereographs of the Catskills - Make it stand out “Catskill Mountain House and Mr. John Allen’s Dog” by S. Root, 1854 This stereo Daguerreotype of the rear entrance to the Catskill Mountain House was audaciously composed by Samuel Root while visiting in 1854. Now heavily damaged with age, the two daguerreotypes within were not composed synchronously, leaving the image exposed in a different position on each plate. Even within a properly seated mounting the stereo effect would be minimally apparent, as the focus of each image is also substantially different. Daguerreotypes are one-of-a-kind, meaning Mr. Root’s effort to compose and mount the image resulted in only one salable item for his troubles.

The Ambrotype is essentially a glass negative mounted on velvet to create a unique single positive composition. However, unlike the stereo Daguerreotype by Samuel Root, this image was composed using a single treated plate and a stereo camera.

This 1855 image of the Catskill Mountain House, one of a trove of stereo views Langenheim composed on different media, offered lifelike luminance when viewed by a window in addition to the nicely executed stereoptic effect. The Hyalotype, an advancement of the Calotype technique, allowed Frederick and his brother to market copies made from an exposed negative through a form of contact printing.

South of the photographer’s position appears Griffin’s store. The bridge further upstream is not an alternate candidate, as it wouldn’t allow for the appearance of the rear of the Rubbing Mill. Likewise the Tannery would be too close, but the Griffin's chair shop is more correctly spaced. https://vedderresearchlibrary.org/gc-historians-blog/2021/3/27/womens-history-month monthly 0.5 2025-08-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d3dc3ae9bfdfba3b1b9958/1616851418225-A1HEI6H6TPNNW799207C/img666.jpg Greene County Historian's Blog - Women's History Month Alvena Hitchcock sitting beside her antique wood cook stove in an undated newspaper photo from the mid-2000s.

Even a small town like Greenville was affected in major ways, both by sending its young men and women to serve and by adjusting and waiting at home. A symbol of that time is the Honor Roll that was erected by the pond corner closest to the four corners. Although exact dates are not remembered, consensus says the board was erected during late war years, taken down in the late 1940’s, and its disposal is uncertain. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d3dc3ae9bfdfba3b1b9958/1645027642128-LA2Y6XM816OLXY3IJQC7/1995-01.jpg Greenville Calendar Images 1991-2010 - January 1995 - Parks' Hotel (Copy) January 1995 - Parks' Hotel Long an anchor of Freehold, this structure stands on the southeast corner of Freehold’s four corners.

This 1928 photo shows Sunny Hill’s beginnings - the main house on the right (now the new Austland unit) and the carriage house and dining hall on the left (today’s Viking unit). With the hard work of Peter and Gurine Nicholsen, the boardinghouse continually adjusted and grew to meet new demands. Son Arnold and his wife Mae Zulch oversaw Sunny Hill’s growth from the 1940’s. Since Arnold’s death in 1985, the progress of Sunny Hill is still overseen by Mae and by the third generation - Gary, Wayne, and Gail. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d3dc3ae9bfdfba3b1b9958/1645027646950-EVWGL3HMQ6FGGCN7V9NX/1995-10.jpg Greenville Calendar Images 1991-2010 - October 1995 - View of Pine Springs (Copy) October 1995 - View of Pine Springs Fifty years ago, the ridge just west of the Lake Mills Road and Schoharie Turnpike intersection (CR41 and CR67) presented a view of what was just starting as Pine Springs, started by the Cravatas - Billy & Helen, Roger & Irene - and later sold to the Garzilli family in 1957. In the distance, the open field of Mountain View Road still have not seen the development of new houses of the 1980’s. The house visible in the distance probably is the Maplehurst Farm, another area boardinghouse, operated by Betke from the 1940’s to 1962, and then by Powazi into the 1970’s. The barn on the right was part of the John Alden farm, no structures of which exist today. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d3dc3ae9bfdfba3b1b9958/1645027647494-NO8FT6EL5FVOBNC38N8W/1995-11.jpg Greenville Calendar Images 1991-2010 - November 1995 - Greenville Center Store (Copy) November 1995 - Greenville Center Store Back when Greenville Center was a busier hamlet, the Shaw store, once the site of a blacksmith shop, operated on the southwest corner of the four corners.

Anton Mickelsen bought the property in the 1930’s, and his son Grant operated a store here in the late 1940’s until a fire severely damaged this structure in the 1950’s.

This team of about 1930 included (l-r): Clarice Palmer, Marion Lockwood, Helen Potter, Annella Dinnel, Natalie Hull, Mary Potter, Dorothy Joy, Edna Ingalls, Thelma “Tut” Boomhower, and Gladys Beecher. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d3dc3ae9bfdfba3b1b9958/1645027663327-4JFWFQ7AAIXL6S4SWFTL/1997-13.jpg Greenville Calendar Images 1991-2010 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d3dc3ae9bfdfba3b1b9958/1645027664677-RCVR56FISPPMV4MNDVVI/1998-00.jpg Greenville Calendar Images 1991-2010 - Cover 1998 (Copy) Cover 1998 Greenville Hotel, from a post card. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d3dc3ae9bfdfba3b1b9958/1645027664638-DQQ4HHG7NJMKUC5NJNF8/1998-01.jpg Greenville Calendar Images 1991-2010 - January 1998 - Snow on Main Street (Copy) January 1998 - Snow on Main Street Snow removal was no easier in 1914 than it is today, even if much of the snow then was eventually packed on the roadway.

They have operated their barbershop, built in 1963, from the site formerly of Wessel’s Garage, and before that a blacksmith and wheel shop. Celebrating his 50th year in business, Joe started cutting hair in February, 1948 in a shop attached to the Tydol-Veedol service station (currently the post office site on Route 81 west) which was owned by his father-in-law Phil Schwebler. Joe had apprenticed under Bill Neidlinger who ran a barbershop in what is now Attorney Dale Doerner’s office on Route 81 east. Flip, at age 16, apprenticed under his father and was licensed in 1968. Joe’s father Karl operated a farm on the Alcove Road, about one-half mile from the junction with Hillcrest Road. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d3dc3ae9bfdfba3b1b9958/1645027665800-NMP90L7YVYJ6W2PNC5IF/1998-03.jpg Greenville Calendar Images 1991-2010 - March 1998 - Greenville Pharmacy (Copy) March 1998 - Greenville Pharmacy William Quackenbush Jr and William Quackenbush III work behind the counter of the Greenville Pharmacy in 1973. Bill (father) and wife Dot came to Greenville from Plattsburgh, NY in 1949, buying the pharmacy from Gordon Bartholomew who had bought it in 1946 from the previous owner, Frank Ales. The Pharmacy, located on the south side of Main Street, most recently is the site for At the Crossroads. Bill and Dot brought to Greenville their first five children - Bill, Ed, Mike, Mary and Dan - and would then have five more while in Greenville - Judy, Joe, Mark, Bernadette, and Matt. Oldest son Bill graduated in 1966 from Albany College of Pharmacy (as did Mark in 1979) and returned to Greenville to work with his father in the spring of 1967. In 1977, the Pharmacy moved to Bryant’s Country Square (site of inset) and was sold to sons Bill and Mark in 1978, the year before their father died. Since then, the Greenville Pharmacy began Northeast Home Care (1983), bought the Windham Pharmacy (1985), became associated with ValueRite (about 1985), and opened the Greene Medial Arts Pharmacy in Catskill (1994). As a result of another death in the family due to cancer, the Quackenbushes stopped selling tobacco products in 1989, one of the first stores in eastern New York to do so. In the inset are Dot and sons Mark (left) and Bill. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d3dc3ae9bfdfba3b1b9958/1645027666507-E759OSQ1829XZMG0RLDG/1998-04.jpg Greenville Calendar Images 1991-2010 - April 1998 - Cunningham Funeral Home (Copy) April 1998 - Cunningham Funeral Home Celebrating their centennial this year, the Cunningham family has been a mainstay of Greenville’s West Road, today’s Route 81, a hundred yards from the four corners. A.J. Cunningham bought the business from Elmer Hunt when it was mostly a feed store and furniture business. As the feed and furniture gradually waned, and as the custom of having funerals at home declined, the Cunningham business focused on the funeral part. AJ’s nephew Leland learned the trade as a teenager and obtained his license in the mid-1930s. Noted for his years of service, Lee was County Coroner for twenty years, and is/was a member of the Methodist Church, Masonic Lodge, Knights of Pythias, Greenville Volunteer Fire Company, as well as having volunteered in other community activities. Lee’s son Curt, a current County Coroner, graduated from GCS, from Alfred State Technical in 1961 and the Simmons School of Embalming in 1963, and eventually took over the business in 1985. Curt is a past Town Councilman and Supervisor. Todd Valenti (who has been employed since 1995) and Curt continue to maintain the service and dignity that has long been established by A.J. Cunningham and Leland A.

The house had been a tavern about 1840 when East Greenville was a bustling stop along the Coxsackie Turnpike. Naming their property Willow Rest Farms, the Schirmers started taking guests on their own within a few years. Over the next twenty years, an annex bungalow were added to help accommodate 65 guests, all this while six young Schirmers were growing up. Son Reinhold (Reiny) Schmermer (spelling change), who had married Jo Gawel in 1942, bought the business in 1948 and started his first year in 1949, renaming the business - Pine Lake Manor. More rooms and motel units were built, a barn made into a rec hall, and the upgrades that changed boarding houses into today’s resorts were made. Meanwhile, Reiny and Jo’s daughter Joanne married Tom Baumann in 1963 and they entered the business in 1972. The fourth generation - Amy, Kevin, and Jacquie - grew up and worked in the family business. Today, Pine Lake Manor accommodates 150-165 guests. (Twelve Maples was torn down in 1972 and is now the site of the resort office and the Baumann’s residence.) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d3dc3ae9bfdfba3b1b9958/1645027668421-HEYUU5G7DKJ53PB07KNO/1998-08.jpg Greenville Calendar Images 1991-2010 - August 1998 - Barn-raising (Copy) August 1998 - Barn-raising The framing of a barn stands in mute testimony to the power of a barn bee. Although the site of this picture has not been identified (tentatively placed just north of the town line in the South Westerlo or Lambs Corners area), this type of activity was repeated many times from the beginning of Greenville’s history until the early twentieth century. These bees not only accomplished a needed task but they also served as important social events during the year. In addition to raising a barn, a bee might harvest a crop, press hay, pick apples, make rugs, store food, cut ice, make quilts, and accomplish any other social event during the year where many hands could make a big task go faster. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d3dc3ae9bfdfba3b1b9958/1645027668792-I1T473ICP01HKIQZOFX1/1998-09.jpg Greenville Calendar Images 1991-2010 - September 1998 - John I's Store (Copy) September 1998 - John I's Store John I. VerPlanck posed in 1969 in front of what was one of the area’s best known general stores. His father Isaac had operated a carriage making store (see July 1992) and when he died in 1912, Isaac’s brother-in-law Albert Bell continued for ten years. John I. took over the business in 1922, still dealing with wagons and sleighs but gradually adding a soda fountain, cigarettes, groceries, hardware and clothing. John’s son Jack worked at his father’s store from 1956 until 1982. A growing meat market supplied many of the area resorts. The store saw its prime from the 1940s until early 1960s. It was torn down the same month that this picture was taken, and was replaced by a structure that became an appliance showroom, with another addition in 1982 that carried furniture and floor covering. Today, the site is occupied by Siemag (inset). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d3dc3ae9bfdfba3b1b9958/1645027669632-C6TQNUU00GEUQCE5U0KK/1998-10.jpg Greenville Calendar Images 1991-2010 - October 1998 - GNH (Copy) October 1998 - GNH Stanley Ingalls founded GNH, a lumber & sawmill & hardware business, in 1937 and it still anchors the western part of Norton Hill. Stanley’s son Randall (Buddy) joined the business in 1940 and designed the current office in 1953; the upper story (see inset) was built ten years later. Stanley’s second son Walter Ingalls joined the business in 1950, Buddy’s son Stanley joined in 1968, and Walter’s son Kevin in 1973. Many will remember the slab and sawdust piles of the 1960s and 1970s, and a sawmill on Old Plank Road in the early 1970s. This business was a continuation of the lumbering business that Truman Ingalls, father of Stanley, did in the area from about 1915 until the early 1930. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d3dc3ae9bfdfba3b1b9958/1645027669812-32M8GNSVS10RQ4OIUJZ0/1998-11.jpg Greenville Calendar Images 1991-2010 - October 1998 - Freehold Church (Copy) October 1998 - Freehold Church One of the half-dozen oldest active churches in the town, Freehold Congregational Church, located almost one-quarter mile east of Freehold on County Route 67, was formed in 1812 as the Christian Church of Freehold. The first structure was probably built by 1825. In 1915, the kerosene lamps were replaced by gas, which were replace eight years later by electricity. The stained glass windows were given in memorial of Yeomans Haight, Calvin and Alice Mygatt, Jotham Place, Mrs. John Jones, and Hannah and Leonard Vincent, while Mr. and Mrs. C.R. Lacy gave another. Long-term pastors included John Spoor (1816-1856) and Sion Lynam (1928-1928, 1967-1975). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d3dc3ae9bfdfba3b1b9958/1645027670454-80HH379DXMI6OFOOVG53/1998-12.jpg Greenville Calendar Images 1991-2010 - December 1998 - Winter on the Four Corners (Copy) December 1998 - Winter on the Four Corners This February 1940 scene of Greenville’s four corners evokes the reality of an eastern New York winter.

A road sign on the telephone pole indicates Route 32 is the crossroad while the solidary person seems to have no reason to fear any traffic. The building on the right is the corner restaurant building (see Nov ‘97) that was razed in the early 1960s. On the left is a family residence, surrounded by a picket fence, which was torn down in the mid-1940s to make way for the gas station. Beyond the home is the Baumann building and the Steven store, on which one can make out the figures of two snow shovelers. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d3dc3ae9bfdfba3b1b9958/1645027670340-NLGMGJBDPSTJ2TZBKIX4/1998-13.jpg Greenville Calendar Images 1991-2010 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d3dc3ae9bfdfba3b1b9958/1645027672058-FW88DDKU8QATCV4Y7Z2V/1999-00.jpg Greenville Calendar Images 1991-2010 - Cover 1999 (Copy) Cover 1999 Main Street, Greenville Scene.

It was once the residence of Stephen Platt, one of Freehold’s founders. According to Beers’ 1884 history, the first meeting to elect town officers for the town of Freehold (included today’s Town of Greenville and area west) was held at the home of Stephen Platt in 1790. He was also a member of the NYS legislature in 1795. Later owners included the Jennings and King families. Thomas Brown acquired the house from Amos and Angela King in 1885 and his heirs sold it to Herman and Ethel Hempstead in 1952.

Ransom Hinman is said to have been the first merchant on the site, referred to in a deed to the Presbyterian Church from Augustine Prevost in 1803. Information on the back of this picture indicates that the house was built by Edward Wackerhagan and his wife Janet Hart about 1880. They sold it O. C. Stevens who rented the house to Mrs. Peter Thomas, a milliner. Later, Mrs. Steve Hallenbeck, a dressmaker, occupied the house. About 1915, Lynn D. Wessels (operator of a garage in the blacksmith shop, today the site of the barbershop) bought the property. Pierce and William Stevens bought the property in 1945 and then sold it to the Standard Oil Company in 1946 to make way for a gas station. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d3dc3ae9bfdfba3b1b9958/1645027904283-BS5PXPMD393M5PZ29FKC/2000-06.jpg Greenville Calendar Images 1991-2010 - June 2000 - Freehold School 1916 (Copy) June 2000 - Freehold School 1916 The classes of 1916 at the Freehold school pose.

He had emigrated from Switzerland in 1906 to New Jersey before moving to his Greenville farmhouse. Otto’s son Walter joined the enterprise that saw a name change (Rainbow Lodge from 1937 to 1976), a major addition to the main house in 1939, the building of the casino in 1941, the creation of a nine-hole golf course in 1956-1958, and the building of motel units in 1964. In 1976, Walter’s sons Walter and Carl took control of the business with Walter managing Rainbow Golf Club (north side of the road) and Carl managing Rainbow Lodge and Restaurant (south side of the road, right inset).

Lee’s grandmother, Francis Smith Stanton (or Frankie, as she was affectionately called), started taking in boarders in 1901, naming her boarding house Mountain View Farm and then Balsam Shade Retreat. Later, the name would change to Stanton-Brown. Frankie’s children Omar Stanton and Cora Stanton (she married first Burton Winnie and then Frank Brown, and raised four sons) worked the farm and boarding house, a combination that became an economic mainstay in the area throughout the mid-20th century. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d3dc3ae9bfdfba3b1b9958/1645027906045-QDZSV8O437MEGOBUDMEE/2000-09.jpg Greenville Calendar Images 1991-2010 - September 2000 - Stagecoach (Copy) September 2000 - Stagecoach Maggie Evans Cathcart (left) poses with her brother’s (James Evans) stagecoach.

A November 10, 1881 edition of a local paper attests that Evans was employed from Coxsackie when the previous carrier refused to stop in Greenville. James’s son George survived a publicized 1891 accident when he was about 14 years old, falling on and clinging to the coach’s whiffletree. Many years later, the coach would be used in movies. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d3dc3ae9bfdfba3b1b9958/1645027907068-R7JGEW81552QIYD4J7AD/2000-10.jpg Greenville Calendar Images 1991-2010 - October 2000 - Aerial of Bryant's (Copy) October 2000 - Aerial of Bryant's The beginning of Bryant’s Supermarket (noted in the 1999 calendar) is shown in this mid-1970s aerial shot, before the creation of the mall.

The church was first organized in 1790, with its first minister Beriah Hotchkin. Long-term pastors include Ezekiel VanDyck who served 35 years from 1893-1928, and Harold Page, the church’s most recent pastor from 1967-1999.

City guests would stay for a week, or weeks, at a farmhouse operated by John and Vida Lowe, which in turn was operated by Warren Jesse. The main house was torn down in the 1980s, and the guest room cabins were renovated into today’s apartments. The incline in the inset marks the spot of the main house. A nearby historic marker notes that this location was first settled by the Spees family. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d3dc3ae9bfdfba3b1b9958/1645027926429-ZZG6IGF8MQ5JZHRSEANT/2002-13.jpg Greenville Calendar Images 1991-2010 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d3dc3ae9bfdfba3b1b9958/1645027927532-1BSOHQMV579CSMXNKJQK/2003-00.jpg Greenville Calendar Images 1991-2010 - Cover 2003 (Copy) Cover 2003 Historical marker noting the founding of Greenville https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d3dc3ae9bfdfba3b1b9958/1645027927688-ZLBNLIBGIEKVCTF9Z8B8/2003-01.jpg Greenville Calendar Images 1991-2010 - January 2003 - View of Pond and Academy (Copy) January 2003 - View of Pond and Academy A late-January thaw in 1938 makes for a sloppy Greenville pond surrounded by cathedral-like elms.

Owners allowing hogs to run at large unyoked shall be liable to a fine of 50 cents for each offense.” Also found in the town minutes are the identification marks, similar to brands, that each owner was assigned.

Sunny Hill Resort, on Sunny Hill Road, has evolved into one of the area’s finest resorts, drawing thousands of tourists into the area each year.

Each has contributed his and her time and energy to community projects, perhaps with Gary the most recognizable (GCS School Board).

Long a business fixture on Greenville’s southeast four corners, this building served as a restaurant, ice cream store, IGA store, shoemaker shop, and even as school room space. This building played a significant role in the 1935 Glenn murder case that was Greenville’s “crime of the century.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d3dc3ae9bfdfba3b1b9958/1645027962261-I6XIKTSH8CM4FNUJQF4P/2009-06.jpg Greenville Calendar Images 1991-2010 - June 2009 - Class of 1929 (Copy) June 2009 - Class of 1929 Graduating eighteen years ago, the Greenville Free Academy’s Class of 1929 posed for one of life’s milestones: Back row: Raymond Story, Gerald Ingalls, Christina Hallett, Edna Heinick, Dorothea Jennings, Charles Stevens, Gordon Abrams; Front Row: Hazel Gardner, Ruth Gardner, Marie Bullivant, Julia Anderson, Barbara Wickham, Edna Irish, Ida Stone; Missing: Esther Palmer, Ella Tryon. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d3dc3ae9bfdfba3b1b9958/1645027964706-KMHT0G0M10FDAXXIX2VQ/2009-07.jpg Greenville Calendar Images 1991-2010 - July 2009 - Elliott Carriage Ride (Copy) July 2009 - Elliott Carriage Ride This recently married couple, Merritt Elliott (1898-1989, son of Edith Merritt and Peter Elliott) and Ruth Ingalls (1900-1996, daughter of Carrie Spalding and Truman Ingalls) enjoy a carriage ride near the Ingalls homestead on Old Plan Road in Norton Hill (near junction with Johnnycake Lane). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d3dc3ae9bfdfba3b1b9958/1645027965537-6W5ZYX2WOUS8MD5BXUZ4/2009-08.jpg Greenville Calendar Images 1991-2010 - August 2009 - Freehold Blacksmith (Copy) August 2009 - Freehold Blacksmith Alvah Sutton operated his blacksmith shop (1906-1912) a couple hundred yards north of Freehold’s four corners (today’s junction of SR 32 and CR 67).

Route 81 runs from top left until it meets Rt 32. The pattern of dots in the center is the trees of the orchard that marks the site of today’s GCS Middle and High Schools.

Vanderbilt Theater, the cultural center of the town, is adorned with a cap of snow. The smaller structure served as the office of this gas station, and also as a used car lot office, a branch of the Coxsackie National Bank in the 1960s, before starting as the iconic Mary’s Restaurant. Mary’s, later enlarged, was razed in the 1990s. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d3dc3ae9bfdfba3b1b9958/1645027980144-7IL5CV0KN9IXZKQ48729/2010-02.jpg Greenville Calendar Images 1991-2010 - February 2010 - R.E. Taylor, Bani Utter (Copy) February 2010 - R.E. Taylor, Bani Utter Richard Edwin Taylor (left; 1829-1909) kept a diary from 1858-1902. Twenty-nine years old when he started recording, Taylor wrote every day, capturing a plethora of details about daily life, family events, and community connections. He married Louisa Utter (1831-1916) in 1857. Although we have no photo of her, Louisa’s father, Bani Utter (b. 1795 at Oak Hill, died 1869; fifth child of James Utter who was one of Oak Hill’s first settlers), is shown on the right. The details of the diary were brought to life from Harriett’s longhand transcription and subsequent annual summaries that were presented to Greenville Local History Group meetings. Richard and Louisa’s children included Howard (mar. Augusta Sammons, Elizabeth Schaefer, six ch.); Addie (mar. Bronk Van Slyke, 2 ch.); Isabel (mar. George Allen, 5 ch); Dwight (unmarried); Cora Mae (infant); and Mary (mar. Henry Hedges, 3 ch). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d3dc3ae9bfdfba3b1b9958/1645027981666-JK03DD5HOU0F2YIZNLKN/2010-03.jpg Greenville Calendar Images 1991-2010 - March 2010 - Freehold Renovation, Martinez (Copy) March 2010 - Freehold Renovation, Martinez The preservation/conservation of our town’s historic structures continues. In 2006, Diane (proprietor of The Cutting Corner) and Mark Martinez bought the Lacy House and renovated the interior and exterior structure, reinvigorating one of Freehold’s landmarks. The Lacy House has anchored Freehold’s northeast corner for over 150 years. The Lacy family, a century and more ago, owned the store that anchors the northwest corner; the same Lacy family is associated with the Catskill car dealership. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d3dc3ae9bfdfba3b1b9958/1645027983270-N32NG9D1HFXKJGPA9DX6/2010-04.jpg Greenville Calendar Images 1991-2010 - April 2010 - View Across the Pond (Copy) April 2010 - View Across the Pond A rare rowing across the Greenville Pond reflects the structures of West Street (today’s Rt 81). The Roe house (with the vines) was razed to make way for the National Bank of Coxsackie in the 1960s. Almost seamless behind it is Cunningham’s – a residence, funeral parlor, and, at its earliest, a store. The view beyond traces Rt 81’s westward path up and over the slight rise past today’s post office. (The trees in the inset hide almost all view of the house just beyond.) Also note the classic early century look of elm trees which were devastated by mid-century’s elm blight. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d3dc3ae9bfdfba3b1b9958/1645027984645-4KELPRLC13ZRDVCW41BG/2010-05.jpg Greenville Calendar Images 1991-2010 - May 2010 - Red Mill (Copy) May 2010 - Red Mill Playing key roles in the late-19th century economy of West Greenville (intersection of today’s Rt 81, Red Mill Road, and Ingalside Road), Vern Smith’s saw mill, as well as the Red Mill grist mill (about one-half mile south of the intersection), are open for business.

Often starting by 6 A.M., waitresses not only served three meals to the summer guests but also cleaned bathrooms and boarders’ rooms, swept sidewalks, washed windows, scraped & washed & dried dishes and silverware, and did the host of small jobs that kept them occupied until after supper was served, usually until 8 p.m. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d3dc3ae9bfdfba3b1b9958/1645027992215-BA6ROWKWUN8JJXVMAYJJ/2010-09.jpg Greenville Calendar Images 1991-2010 - September 2010 - Freehold Bridge (Copy) September 2010 - Freehold Bridge This eastward view of the Basic Creek Bridge looks toward Freehold’s four corners. This crossing of the creek along the Schoharie Turnpike witnessed many pre-automobile travelers-through. At least two bridge replacements have superseded the one shown of about 1920-ish vintage. The building on the right serves as an apartment building today; however, the building just beyond, and the building across the street, do not exist, the former burning in a spectacular 1960’s fire. A view through the bridge shows the porch of Parks’ Hotel, recently the Freehold Country Inn, and today the Freehold House. This landscape has most recently changed with the completion of the Freehold Beautification project. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d3dc3ae9bfdfba3b1b9958/1645027991595-QMBPF3226M3XNBBUA1DA/2010-10.jpg Greenville Calendar Images 1991-2010 - October 2010 - Halloween Prank (Copy) October 2010 - Halloween Prank Halloween pranks were much in fashion, even in 1921, as unidentified (or, unconfessed) fun-makers block the school’s entry way.

The stage run ended about 1900 and this photo shows it a few years later having become a curiosity for the local youngsters (unidentified; if anyone can identify them, contact the Town Historian). The stagecoach actually did make an appearance in several movies and, in 1927, was featured in the Albany Times Union showcasing a fashionable Miss Albany. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d3dc3ae9bfdfba3b1b9958/1645027995806-ZWUAMB5I73A4FDUO5PJL/2010-13.jpg Greenville Calendar Images 1991-2010 https://vedderresearchlibrary.org/greenville-calendar-images-2011-current daily 0.75 2025-09-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d3dc3ae9bfdfba3b1b9958/1645028305545-DLUWY5W8IIBMXFTS3DWZ/2012-00.jpg Greenville Calendar Images 2011-Current - Cover 2012 (Copy) Cover 2012 The cover of the 2012 GLHG Calendar is a duplication from the 1977 United Methodist Church of Greenville - Norton Hill Calendar that marked the country’s bicentennial.

A coalition of local organizations and businesses formed the Greenville Winter Carnival Association to “introduce the Greenville Area as a Winter Sports Area as well as a Summer Resort Area, and to give all of the people in the area a full realization of the great facilities that are available to the public during all four seasons of the year.” The two day program featured ice fishing, cross-country ski touring, ice skating, ice sculptures, as well as the racing of snowmobiles and the choosing of the Snow Queen for the popular Snow Ball. Poor snow conditions led to the cancellation of the 1973 event. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d3dc3ae9bfdfba3b1b9958/1645028307167-R1GJQ3LZM17IFWYA1MJK/2012-03.jpg Greenville Calendar Images 2011-Current - March 2012 (Copy) March 2012 A weary horse rests on the side of the Freehold to Cairo road (now State Route 32) about a mile south of Freehold.

To the right is a laid stonewall and fence that was in front of the Becker Homestead, later the Brookside Dairy Farm (a boarding house from the 1920's to1940s owned by Harry and Ottilie Levers), which today is a private residence. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d3dc3ae9bfdfba3b1b9958/1645028307715-A6767ZMQD5BEGGOPEINW/2012-04.jpg Greenville Calendar Images 2011-Current - April 2012 - Greenville Center Baptist Church (Copy) April 2012 - Greenville Center Baptist Church The Greenville Center Baptist Church was built in 1817; a Baptist Society had existed since 1793. An early change moved the entrance from the west side to the south side, until a 1854 turning of the building placed this entrance at the west side again (facing the road). In 1938, the bell from the East Durham Baptist Church was raised into the church’s belfry (inset). Over the past fifty years, longer-tenure ministers of this still active church include: Rev. Murray Mayfield (2001-current), Clinton Phelps (1981-1996); Wendell Hiltsley (1974-01980, 1939-1944), and Jacob VanderPyle (1961-1973). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d3dc3ae9bfdfba3b1b9958/1645028308487-2R6FPE0EEURXVDZ1FHGX/2012-05.jpg Greenville Calendar Images 2011-Current - May 2012 - Greenville Renovation (Copy) May 2012 - Greenville Renovation Owner Miss Aileen Hesel and partner Allen Totzeck proudly pose in front of the Ellis-Hesel house. Built in 1884 by Will Craw, this house is known for the previous occupants – Scott & Elgirtha Ellis, and, later, son Phil. (Scott Ellis oversaw the Greenville Central School education community from its centralization in the 1930s until his retirement in 1964; Phil was Greenville Local editor from 1963 until 1997.) Aileen bought the house in 1999 and, with the help of her mother Dorothy (advisor, colors & details & fabric person) and father Larry (locksmith, plasterer, cabinet & window person, crown molding maker), re-established this house—two houses down from the Greenville Arms on South Street—as an attractive mainstay. Greenville, indeed, appreciates those efforts that update and revitalize our community. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d3dc3ae9bfdfba3b1b9958/1645028309073-H3KX82QQ2KSSK2FBPFDN/2012-06.jpg Greenville Calendar Images 2011-Current - June 2012 - Remnants of Freehold Farm (Copy) June 2012 - Remnants of Freehold Farm Ghosts of buildings abound throughout the town if memory allows, or if photos record. This photo taken in 1970 on Big Woods Rd (on the long flat between O’Hara Rd and Weed Rd) presents a scene in which all buildings are gone. The former Noah Shaw Farm operated as a 100+ acre farm. Visible on the far right is the Shaw house, a concrete block milk house on right-center, and the cow barn on the left. The acreage has since been divided and built upon, and a road that was occupied by five houses in the 1950s now sports nearly thirty houses, typical of the modern subdividing of Greenville’s formerly more open land. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d3dc3ae9bfdfba3b1b9958/1645028310014-P0MCQLHMZZ3K9PKYMS75/2012-07.jpg Greenville Calendar Images 2011-Current - July 2012 - Spohler's Elm Grove (Copy) July 2012 - Spohler's Elm Grove Anton (Tony) and Mary Fursatz opened Fursatz’s Elm Grove in 1921, first as a farm and then a boarding house. After Mary and Tony retired, their daughter Anna, who had married Fred G. Spohler (The Spohlers had operated a boarding house in Acra), took control in 1955. With help from their son Fred, daughter-in-law Carol, and family, the resort continued operating. Fred and Carol assumed control of Elm Grove in 1973 until its closure in 1983 after 62 years. Located on Red Mill Rd, near the corner with East Red Mill Rd (also known locally as Shaw Mill Rd), this establishment has since operated as Grace Manor and Higher Ground Christian Center, exemplifying the role that religious organizations have had in operating several former resorts. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d3dc3ae9bfdfba3b1b9958/1645028310488-7NZ0U5D24XH875LS742C/2012-08.jpg Greenville Calendar Images 2011-Current - August 2012 - View of west Freehold from Hill (Copy) August 2012 - View of west Freehold from Hill This nineteen-teens post card shows, in the foreground, the mill area of Freehold on Mill Street, today known as Hempstead Lane.

On the far right is a residence and, more noticeable, the church parsonage (today, a private residence). The mills were powered by water diverted from the Basic Creek into pathways called races. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d3dc3ae9bfdfba3b1b9958/1645028311266-BHCR8DDQD643D6PUZLGW/2012-09.jpg Greenville Calendar Images 2011-Current - September 2012 - Potter Hollow Schoolhouse (Copy) September 2012 - Potter Hollow Schoolhouse The Potter Hollow one-room schoolhouse served its community from 1853-1954, and is now the most authentic one room school house still extant in the Greenville Central School District. In an effort to preserve this building for a “perfect setting for local history presentations by students and community members,” many people worked together – Potter Hollow community members, the Greenville School Board and Administration, the NYS Historic Preservation Bureau, and, notably, pictured here, Richard Ferriolo who has striven to see this project to its fruition. The school house is being considered for the National Historic Register. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d3dc3ae9bfdfba3b1b9958/1645028311849-DXHXR736B3U53R77NE32/2012-10.jpg Greenville Calendar Images 2011-Current - October 2012 - Ingalls Cousins Reunion (Copy) October 2012 - Ingalls Cousins Reunion Although the Ingalls Family has an annual reunion (the 84th in 2012), this Cousins’ Party of August 5, 1956, attracted a sizable gathering.

During the 20th century, a sizeable contingent of Norwegian descent moved to the Greenville Center area (Johannesen, Nicholsen, Salvesen, Gundersen, Mickelsen, Myhre, Lien, and more), adding to the flavor that was, and is, the Town of Greenville. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d3dc3ae9bfdfba3b1b9958/1645028318345-5ICS55BWPCE7QDY3KH4E/2014-02.jpg Greenville Calendar Images 2011-Current - February 2014 - Skating on the Pond (Copy) February 2014 - Skating on the Pond Youngsters frolic and enjoy winter skating on the Greenville Pond, tentatively set in the 1970s.

Left and right rows of residences nestle behind the maple trees that once lined the street. If the picture had been taken four years earlier, the Greenville Hotel (Glen Royal) front would have been visible on the right edge of the photo but the old hotel was demolished to make way for the Pioneer Insurance building. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d3dc3ae9bfdfba3b1b9958/1645028319833-W37IGYAEN2DI2XZO6A6D/2014-04.jpg Greenville Calendar Images 2011-Current - April 2014 - Red Mill Dam (Copy) April 2014 - Red Mill Dam A view not seen for nearly a century, springtime water flows over the Red Mill Dam on the Basic Creek. The Red Mill sits left, using the diverted water to power its machinery and wheels before the availability of electricity. According to local lore, a freshet destroyed the dam, perhaps in the 1930s. In addition to water power, the dam supplied ice for refrigerative purposes (before electricity) and for recreational purposes. The spray of water on the left is probably the diverted water that just powered the mill. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d3dc3ae9bfdfba3b1b9958/1645028320056-031RS25VL4RCSQSCIYK5/2014-05.jpg Greenville Calendar Images 2011-Current - May 2014 - Greenville Methodist Church (Copy) May 2014 - Greenville Methodist Church After a fire in 1873, a new Asbury Methodist Episcopal Church was erected, shown here on the west side of Rt 32 near the junction with Hill Street. The first Methodist Church started in West Greenville in 1825 before it was moved in 1856 to a spot on the east side of Rt 32, just yards north of the building shown. In 1867, a parsonage was built, nearly opposite this structure, and was used as such until the late 20th century. With dwindling attendance mid-late century, this church merged with the Norton Hill church in 1973, the combination becoming the United Methodist Church of Greenville and Norton Hill. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d3dc3ae9bfdfba3b1b9958/1645028322096-LZ5G7TRF8QK7Q6UUB63Q/2014-06.jpg Greenville Calendar Images 2011-Current - June 2014 - GFA Baseball Team 1931 (Copy) June 2014 - GFA Baseball Team 1931 The Greenville Free Academy baseball team of 1930-1931 poses: top, left to right: Charles Raddick, Bill Vaughn, Lefty (Reinhold) Schermer, Chuck Burgess, Charles Winans, Don Blenis, Maynard Makely, Scott Ellis; front: Elmer Carlson, Arnold Nicholsen, Lee Cunningham, Roland Young, Joe Slater, Ken Lawyer; Sitting: Russ Baumann, John Zivelli. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d3dc3ae9bfdfba3b1b9958/1645028322942-76A65YYXWZG6P4DHJ2GG/2014-07.jpg Greenville Calendar Images 2011-Current - July 2014 - Freehold Mill and Dam (Copy) July 2014 - Freehold Mill and Dam As one looks downstream from the Basic Creek Bridge in Freehold near the end of the 19th century, Jennings’ Grist Mill (right) marks a commercial center that had served Freehold since its founding. The mill building was built in the early 1800s and when it was torn down in the early 1900s, its wood was recycled, with part of it used to build a barn on the current Simone farm (formerly Mygatt and Hunt) on Weed Road. Only foundation stones of the mill remain. Across the creek is the local legend, Cow Slip, a large rock that slid from the cliff, killing, according to local lore, a farmer’s cow. In the inset, the tree and the corner of Ruby’s Restaurant obscures the site of the old mill. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d3dc3ae9bfdfba3b1b9958/1645028323396-W5UBHGFHMUMQ06ZJ2Q0V/2014-08.jpg Greenville Calendar Images 2011-Current - August 2014 - Greenville Arms (Copy) August 2014 - Greenville Arms William S. Vanderbilt built this Victorian residence on South Street, Greenville for his family residence in 1889. In 1952, Pierce and Ruth Stevens purchased the property, including house and carriage house, and began the transition to a 20-bedroom boarding house—Greenville Arms—a perfect place to raise four daughters while welcoming guests. As vacationing trends changed, Greenville Arms became a destination for travelers who enjoyed country inns. In 1980, daughters Laura and Barbara Stevens became the innkeepers and, soon after, they founded the Hudson River Valley Painting Workshops to draw artists to Greene County. The workshops thrived and, when Tish and Eliot Dalton purchased the inn in 1989, they expanded the art program. In 2004, ownership passed to Kim and Mark LaPolla, who not only maintained the Hudson River Valley Art Workshops but also enhanced their year-round calendar by instituting Fiber Arts Workshops. A gift shop features their homemade fine chocolates. Now known as the Greenville Arms 1889 Inn, this South Street landmark continues to serve as a symbol of Greenville hospitality and of the boarding house history. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d3dc3ae9bfdfba3b1b9958/1645028324186-5ZJMTZMZT8JRLNMYRXJ9/2014-09.jpg Greenville Calendar Images 2011-Current - September 2014 - Powell's Store (Copy) September 2014 - Powell's Store Powell’s Store (and before as Stevens’ Store) long served Norton Hill until mid-20th century; the building was then used for different businesses (Rich’s Floor Covering, Liberti’s Pizza, among others). The next chapter of usefulness comes when the Methodist Church purchased the building in 2000, renovated it, and today utilizes the Powell Store Thrift Shop as a community asset once again. Residents, long-time and newly arrived, appreciate the preservation efforts that once again restore a venerable piece of our history. The inset shows the older Stevens’ store. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d3dc3ae9bfdfba3b1b9958/1645028324592-8C1SB9XHWV26C6KND84F/2014-10.jpg Greenville Calendar Images 2011-Current - October 2014 - Greenville Rescue Squad (Copy) October 2014 - Greenville Rescue Squad Serving the Greenville area for over forty years, the Greenville Rescue Squad continues, on a volunteer basis, to serve the area’s emergency medical needs.

The two buildings on the left were torn down in the 1960s or earlier. The leftmost was the residence of Will Whitbeck, whose descendants still settle the area; Will’s wife was the telephone switchboard operator that was located in the front room. The second building was used for a barbershop (Burdick, at one time), then moved backward several dozen feet during Will’s time. Of course, the next building is the Freehold Country Store (past owners: Lacy, Wood, Hall, Harr, Nugent, Valentine, Nelsen, Dudley) which has anchored Freehold’s northwest corner for well over a century. Behind the “straighter” wood pole is Doc Lacy’s house, on the east side of what would become State Route 32. The inset shows the parking lot that gives no evidence of past structures. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d3dc3ae9bfdfba3b1b9958/1645028326599-OK519WS4TABWMFTE36CD/2014-13.jpg Greenville Calendar Images 2011-Current https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d3dc3ae9bfdfba3b1b9958/1645028327370-UQ1S5R41BTN6IATIOGM5/2014-14.jpg Greenville Calendar Images 2011-Current https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d3dc3ae9bfdfba3b1b9958/1645028328007-4BPYHANT3QSKTS7866VR/2015-00.jpg Greenville Calendar Images 2011-Current - Cover 2015 (Copy) Cover 2015 Methodist Church, Greenville, on South Street https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d3dc3ae9bfdfba3b1b9958/1645028328764-5ZYO3PTOSLM9M01KMGIB/2015-01.jpg Greenville Calendar Images 2011-Current - January 2015 - Horse Sleigh in Greenville (Copy) January 2015 - Horse Sleigh in Greenville Seated on his horse-drawn cutter, Harry Adriance waits for his wife Millie (person with back toward camera) to voyage home on Hill Street on a wintry day in 1939.

Located about one mile west of Freehold on CR 67, the Phinney farm (formerly Lusk, circa 1800) started a transformation in the late 1950s, first, into a short airstrip, and later, into a half-mile runway, necessitating the removal of two stonewalls and the leveling of terrain. With Phinney’s death in April 1963, so too did the plans for this building. The name Jodel is memorialized as the middle name of one of Junior’s granddaughters. The inset shows a heady day in the early 1960s, with Junior behind the video (publicity program) and the freshly painted sign. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d3dc3ae9bfdfba3b1b9958/1645028331013-WQIYHPU67QCPT41UCQ27/2015-05.jpg Greenville Calendar Images 2011-Current - May 2015 - Haying Near Newry (Copy) May 2015 - Haying Near Newry The 1917 haying season is underway on the George Conklin farm on Newry Rd—about a quarter mile south of its intersection in Newry with CR 38 (the road to Shepard’s Resort).

The main house became Santa’s Pizzeria, which burned in an all-consuming fire in March 1999. Today, only the motel unit survives, bearing the faintest of testimony to the boarding house heyday in Greenville.

Once a stage stop on the Schoharie Turnpike, the inn/boarding house that anchors the southeast corner of Freehold, was owned by the Parks family, and their relatives, for most of the 20th century. This photo, apparently taken from the middle of the four corners, shows a scene tentatively dated about 1920. Nearly a dozen other Freehold houses advertised for guests, with most closing by the 1950s and reverting to private residences. The Freehold House (Parks Hotel, Freehold Country Inn, Green Dish, Hamlet, etc.) was most recently renovated in 1999, generally utilized as a fine dining and event establishment. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d3dc3ae9bfdfba3b1b9958/1645028334694-WZMFJ3J87LNEMNSIU1ZP/2015-10.jpg Greenville Calendar Images 2011-Current - October 2015 - James Stevens' Price List of Day Lilies (Copy) October 2015 - James Stevens' Price List of Day Lilies The 1946 Price List from Stevens Hills Garden is proof of botanical excellence and curiosity in Greenville. James (“Uncle Jim”) Stevens, in his methodical and inquisitive style, razed a couple outbuildings in 1939 and proceeded over the next fifteen years to devote a dozen garden beds to Hemerocallis, otherwise known as the daylily. Using his bank of index cards for systematic research, he would cross-pollinate, eventually creating fourteen new species of daylilies—among them the Pink Damask, Samarkand, Tinker Bell, and Peter Pan. James traveled widely showing his work, was known nationally, and won prestigious awards—nearly ten from The American Hemerocallis Society and three from The Royal Horticultural Society of England. From his residence and farm, located at the top of the first rise on CR 26 leaving Greenville, James Stevens would share his specialty with community members of similar interests. Born in 1898, deceased in 1969, James was also involved in the Pioneer Insurance Company. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d3dc3ae9bfdfba3b1b9958/1645028335403-IGL02QTLWGYQWHFBZHBQ/2015-11.jpg Greenville Calendar Images 2011-Current - November 2015 - Freehold Volunteer Fire Company (Copy) November 2015 - Freehold Volunteer Fire Company Although East Durham had included Freehold in its fire district, its extensive coverage caused citizens of the Freehold area to found the Freehold Fire Company in October 1945. First based at the former Freehold school house, the company expanded to adapt to the times. The last major adaptation came in 1987 when a four bay building was proudly erected. Recent times has found staffing a difficulty, a far cry from the late 1980s when nearly 70 community members filled a roster. Two of the family names that have served in leadership positions are Maxwell (grandfather Wm., Sr.; father Wm., Jr.; and grandson Mike) and Hempstead (father Everett and son Rich). The Ladies Auxiliary formed in 1962. Pictures show, upper left, clockwise: the schoolhouse and hall before the 1987 construction; current day structures; two Chevrolet fire trucks; and a 1971 photo of FFC leaders: William Maxwell, Jr., George Brown, Larry Waldron, William Maxwell, Sr., James Becker, August Spinner, Ray Bennett, and Bill Tobin. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d3dc3ae9bfdfba3b1b9958/1645028338653-TDZIE1QICRXCUZPHJ4OE/2015-12.jpg Greenville Calendar Images 2011-Current - December 2015 - Norton Hill Methodist Church (Copy) December 2015 - Norton Hill Methodist Church The Norton Hill Methodist Church has served the religious needs of the community since 1873, a surprisingly late date for a hamlet’s first church. Previously, the community had availed themselves of neighboring churches in West Greenville and Greenville. In 1973 the Norton Hill Methodist Church merged with the Greenville Asbury Methodist Church to form The United Methodist Church of Greenville and Norton Hill. Structural additions included a Sunday School wing, sanctuary space, a meeting hall (the former school house), and the Carney Center (located behind the church); the church has also utilized the Stevens/Elliott House (on its west side) and most recently the former Powell/Stevens store (on its east side). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d3dc3ae9bfdfba3b1b9958/1645028339063-NYWP8ADNBIZZ5ONDB5P4/2015-13.jpg Greenville Calendar Images 2011-Current https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d3dc3ae9bfdfba3b1b9958/1645028341463-C2ZCJF64T2LQ2DQDI1TK/2015-14.jpg Greenville Calendar Images 2011-Current https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d3dc3ae9bfdfba3b1b9958/1645028341022-EBEROS9N4NTK1YHYA6M8/2016-00.jpg Greenville Calendar Images 2011-Current - Cover 2016 (Copy) Cover 2016 Mildred Reinhardt’s sketch graces the 2016 cover.

Their first vehicle, a 1939 Sanford 500-gallons-per-minute pumper, was delivered the following month, with a procession of vehicles to follow over the years since and a long history of fund-raisers that the community supported. After utilizing at least two different sites on Main Street for storage of equipment, the fire company purchased the Stevens Shop in 1957 which still houses the Greenville vehicles (2015). Besides providing safety for homeowners, the fire company continues to serve as one of the town’s most significant social centers. The inset shows the fire company parading, with their 1956 Chevrolet keeping pace, in a Greene County Fire Convention hosted by Greenville, possibly 1969.

Joining the live ducks were forty-six Quackers, drawing attention from hundreds of travelers. Initiated by the Greenville Beautification Project, the Quacktastic Ducks were sponsored by local businesses and individuals, painted by area artists, publicized on Facebook, photographed by Beth Schneck, and auctioned in Autumn 2015 with the proceeds going to the Greenville Beautification Project and to the Greenville Educational Foundation. The tradition of live ducks on the pond goes back more than fifty years—“donated” by a community member for the season, fed by many, and reclaimed for safekeeping for winter. John Hull has provided the ducks for the past twenty years; Mrs. Huested and Mr. McCarthy provided ducks and care forty and fifty years ago, according to local sources. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d3dc3ae9bfdfba3b1b9958/1645028345035-9AMWPMQWDC4KC9S4NITK/2016-06.jpg Greenville Calendar Images 2011-Current - June 2016 - Aerial of Tschinkel Farm (Copy) June 2016 - Aerial of Tschinkel Farm A rare 1950s aerial gives testimony to the nature of the typical farm in agricultural Greenville, with farm house, a larger barn, and outbuildings. For almost thirty years, current owners Dave and Marybeth Tschinkel and family have sold round and square hay bales, harvested wood, and raised Pygmy goats on their Plattekill Road farm, about a quarter mile off SR 32. Previously, the Ansbacher family had operated a dairy farm here from the 1930s until the 1980s; before that, the Carlsons resided here, with Mr. Carlson operating a barbershop in his home, with reports of the barber’s chair ring still pressed on the hardwood floor. The property had been part of a larger tract that stretched to the Basic Creek and included what is today J.P. North’s. Dave and Marybeth first purchased a 17 acre farm and have enlarged the farm to 100 acres since their 1988 purchase. One inset shows James, Khrystyne, Marybeth, and Dave in front of the farm house; the other shows the barn that the Tschinkels have saved from ruin. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d3dc3ae9bfdfba3b1b9958/1645028345602-4UXYWBB7GH3RO97WRDZ4/2016-07.jpg Greenville Calendar Images 2011-Current - July 2016 - O'Hara's Corners Homestead (Copy) July 2016 - O'Hara's Corners Homestead Emmalissa McClusky O’Hara and Josephine O’Hara pose about 1930 in front of the 1870 O’Hara Homestead, a stone’s throw west of the center of O’Hara’s Corners, the junction of O’Hara Road and Shipley Road. Born in Ballandary, Ireland, Peter O’Hara escaped English harassment and possible death to start a new life in the United States about 1800. He and wife Lucretia Darbee would bear most of their fifteen children at the original homestead (burned in 1929), a couple hundred yards west of the house shown. Great-great-grandsons John and Peter O’Hara (inset) still maintain the O’Hara presence today—Peter living in the house shown, John spending summers next door. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d3dc3ae9bfdfba3b1b9958/1645028346715-6JYO3BD28TQQDKC9DHU1/2016-08.jpg Greenville Calendar Images 2011-Current - August 2016 - Greenville Renovation (Copy) August 2016 - Greenville Renovation The Talmadge-Irving House, located on North Street, has undergone an extensive renovation under the care of Don Irving and Matthew Terry.

The Irving family bought the house in the late 1800's and it has remained in the family ever since. The property has been painstakingly reinvented while retaining its vintage charm.

In the almost fifty years since, the Auxiliary have served the Greenville area side by side with the Volunteer Fire Company, reacting to emergency situations, fund-raising for improved equipment and vehicles, and creating a social fabric that comprises an integral element of Greenville’s character.

It first sat on the west side of Rt 32, approximately on the center front lawn of today’s elementary school. When the district centralized in 1930, David’s father Ford sold land to the new central school district. The Rundell residence was moved across the street where it rests today, turned ninety degrees clockwise, with the former front door now facing the Episcopal Church. The 1993 GLHG calendar photo showed the house resting on Rt 32 at the end of the Day 1 move, to be completed the following day. The inset shows David standing where the family house stood. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d3dc3ae9bfdfba3b1b9958/1645028355847-X6Z6L0PJVO65DQOZ6CDX/2017-12.jpg Greenville Calendar Images 2011-Current - December 2017 - New School Program (Copy) December 2017 - New School Program This simple brochure marks one of the key events of 20th century Greenville. A national need for improved educational opportunities and Greenville’s burgeoning student population had raised calls for a centralized school district in the 1920s. A positive district vote in 1930 led to construction, with an opening set for the 1932-1933 school year. Today, that building is the Scott M. Ellis Elementary building. The front and inside panels are reproduced; the back panel contained the words of America and The Star Spangled Banner.

On the far left is the steeple of the Presbyterian Church (Prevost Hall). The bigger building in front of that is Cunningham’s Funeral Home. Just to the right is the Elsie Roe house, razed in the 1960s to make way for the National Bank of Coxsackie. On the far right stands the Vanderbilt house (Greenville Arms). Closest to the viewer, in the center of the photo is the carriage shed for the Vanderbilt house, still part of Greenville Arms. Almost all other buildings no longer exist. The two-tiered roofed building is the Greenville Theater; the building and its side yard is pre-Mary’s and pre-Cumberland’s. Other buildings in the maze of structures in the center include the Greenville Hotel (site of Town Building) and Hartt’s Store (site of parking lot of the Town Building). In the center distance, just below the tree line lies the Greenville Cemetery. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d3dc3ae9bfdfba3b1b9958/1645028360710-RCN9GFSEA7RY3WYB9BFW/2018-08.jpg Greenville Calendar Images 2011-Current - August 2018 - Pleasant View Lodge (Copy) August 2018 - Pleasant View Lodge One of the area’s most vibrant resorts of the 20th century, Pleasant View Lodge started when Eugene and Ria Schmollinger bought the Shult farm on CR 67, about two miles east of Freehold, in 1940. Over the course of the next fifty years, they and their sons Robert and especially Ralph developed a destination resort with a 9-hole golf course, indoor and outdoor swimming pools, softball, basketball and tennis facilities, a bar and ballroom, three restaurants, and a capacity of over 300 guests. (The insets show the old farmhouse in 1940, and the indoor pool possibly in the 1970s.) In 1994, the resort was sold to new owners, renamed Thunderhart, and the golf course was later expanded to its current 18-hole configuration. When neighboring Sunny Hill Resort, owned by The Nicholsen family, acquired the "new" Thunderhart at Sunny Hill in 2007, a 36-hole golf complex was created with the merging of the two courses. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d3dc3ae9bfdfba3b1b9958/1645028360823-F4ZEGCI7N3APK4QBM0HZ/2018-09.jpg Greenville Calendar Images 2011-Current - September 2018 - Surprise Renovation (Copy) September 2018 - Surprise Renovation Originally known as Locust Manor, this former boarding house entertained guests from New York City for many years. Currently resided by Beth (Blenis) Hulbert, the house is located at the Surprise intersection of SR 81 and Willowbrook Rd, greeting travelers as they head westward from Coxsackie on their way to Surprise, Murder Bridge Hill, Horton’s Corners (intersection with Highland Rd), Greenville, and points westward. Built approximately 1840, the home has been in the Boyd/Blenis family for over 100 years. The house was owned previously by Luman and Edna Boyd, followed by their son Howard. With family help in 2007, Barry, Blaine, and Gina restored and updated the interior and exterior, adding the two car garage in keeping with the architecture of the house. Gracing the front lawn are uncle Dennis R. Blenis, father Barry G. Blenis, Beth A. Hulbert, brother Blaine R. Blenis, sister-in-law Gina (Gundersen) Blenis, and cousin Daniel L. Blenis.

This scene shows a game of Snap the Whip, where a line of skaters held hands and skated a circle, with the outermost skaters moving the fastest and usually the first to “snap” the connection. Although undated, the photo is believed to be of the 1910-1920 era, after the old Academy was razed in 1905 and replaced by this building (now the main part of the Library) but before the classroom addition of the mid-1920s. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d3dc3ae9bfdfba3b1b9958/1645028363423-15TKTBGM2XMBMECEBYCC/2019-02.jpg Greenville Calendar Images 2011-Current - February 2019 - Early Well Driller (Copy) February 2019 - Early Well Driller Generations of the Richardson family have serviced the well-drilling needs of the Greenville area and beyond.

The photo captures pages from the newspapers and brochures produced for the festivals, with lists of activities, sponsors, businesses, accommodations, balloon pilots, and advertisers. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d3dc3ae9bfdfba3b1b9958/1645028366983-7TCV80YA3NN65PTOUCU8/2019-09.jpg Greenville Calendar Images 2011-Current - September 2019 - Freehold Renovation (Copy) September 2019 - Freehold Renovation Wayne Nelsen poses with his recently acquired house, one driveway from Nelsen’s Freehold Country Pub near Freehold’s four corners. Long a residence of Purl and Dorothy Howard in mid-late 20th century, and most recently for the past twenty years by the James & Darlene Jollie family, this house has been renovated with a coat of white paint and red trim, a pruning of overgrown branches, and the creation of a stone parking lot in the back that serves both the house and the Pub. The Greenville Local History Group supports the restoring and/or renovating of properties that once again bring a fresh air of community character. The inset shows the house in 1991. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d3dc3ae9bfdfba3b1b9958/1645028367044-QU71NJET3GDL5JVHXZKU/2019-10.jpg Greenville Calendar Images 2011-Current - October 2019 - Turon Farm (Copy) October 2019 - Turon Farm Shady Hill Farm sits proudly on a knoll near the intersection of Rts 26 and 26A. George and Mary (Kacvinsky) Turon, both born in Austria and married near NYC, had lived in Alcove since 1918. Purchasing in 1930 the former Sanford farm, George and Mary established their household: Helen 1910, Mary 1912, George Jr 1913, Charles 1917, Joseph 1918, Mildred 1921, Ruth 1923, John 1926, and Elsie 1931. Early on, Mary followed the lead of other women in the community and started taking in boarders in the “new” Shady Hill Farm, a venture that ended during WWII days. In 1950, son George Jr and wife Martha (Rundell) Turon bought the farm and raised four children. Eventually, the farm land was subdivided, with the eastern portion becoming Turon Road, the western end staying with the farm house, and the improved middle section still clear in 2018. One inset shows an aerial of the farm in 1956, placing the barn that George Jr built when he came to own the farm. The second inset shows Lee Turon (son of John), Elsie Turon (youngest child of George and Mary), and Celia and John Costigan, new owners since 2016. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d3dc3ae9bfdfba3b1b9958/1645028367492-H5DLM6227XWGHDW3549D/2019-11.jpg Greenville Calendar Images 2011-Current - November 2019 - Doris Hempstead's Genealogy Collection (Copy) November 2019 - Doris Hempstead's Genealogy Collection Over the course of her adult life, Doris Blakeslee Hempstead (1922-2002) compiled one of the largest private genealogy archives in the region. Taking information from an obituary, a wedding notice, a request for genealogical help, a trip to an area cemetery, a church record, a Fifty Years Ago clipping in the newspaper, etc., Doris would enter the information and the source on a 3x5 index card, add to a pile, and sort into the pile needed for the time. Over the course of more than forty years, Doris had amassed 50,000 cards which were alphabetized by the Greenville Local History Group ten years ago. Upon her death, Doris’ children—Sharon, Rhonda, Gloria, and Rich—passed along the collection to Town Historian Don Teator. In 2018, in hopes of better visibility and utilization, the 50,000 card collection was transferred to the Greene County Historical Society. The photos show Doris, two scenes of open drawers showing the 38 feet of cards, and the collection’s recent placement in the Vedder Library of the Greene County Historical Society. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d3dc3ae9bfdfba3b1b9958/1645028367587-RQUC3OJ2TH9R7U06ASHS/2019-12.jpg Greenville Calendar Images 2011-Current - December 2019 - Vaughn Family (Copy) December 2019 - Vaughn Family Thurman C.

The sons were the children of Thurman and first wife Charlotte Elliott. Virgil married Anna Babcock, had one daughter Barbara, and lived in Clarksville. Thurman Jr married June Carlson, was a vet in the Delmar/Clarksville area, and raised four children: John, Kathy, Laurie, and Tom. Toot married Betty Winn, lived in South Westerlo, and raised seven children: Millie, Walter, Roger, Cheryl, Lena, and Curt, as well as Ken Friss from Betty’s first marriage. Bill married RoseAnn Spidalieri (GCS teacher), was Greenville’s Postmaster as well as running the IGA store on Main Street, Greenville, and had one daughter Diana. Bob, aka as Murphy, married Marjorie (who had daughters Norma and Marsha from her first marriage) and managed the IGA store before working at Bryant’s. Absent for this reunion was a sixth son, Everett, who married Dottie McArdle, lived in Ballston Spa, and had three sons: Ralph, Billy, and Kevin. The Vaughns were, and are, anchors of the Greenville community, or in the communities in which they lived. The inset shows the some of the grandchildren at a Cousins’ Party on the Fourth of July about 1958 at “Auntie’s” (Fradelia Vaughn).

This photo looks across the pond from the library lawn. From the left: the Pioneer Insurance building (not even a decade old yet after replacing the Greenville Hotel; current Town Offices); in the background, the cupola-crowned carriage barn of the Vanderbilt residence on South Street (today, property of the Greenville Arms ); the small shed that had seen service as the fire house for the town; and, rightmost, the Vanderbilt Theater in its heyday, serving as Greenville’s community and cultural center (it was razed in the early 1980s, today the site of Cumberland Farms). Elms trees dignified the town center until the Dutch Elm blight caused their destruction. The inset shows today’s buildings obscured by the summer growth of young trees. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d3dc3ae9bfdfba3b1b9958/1645028370748-XYWYQ2QJJXROXXQ7BM3R/2020-02.jpg Greenville Calendar Images 2011-Current - February 2020 - First GCS Faculty (Copy) February 2020 - First GCS Faculty The 1932-1933 faculty, the first of the new Greenville Central School building include: FRONT: Leta Arnold, Marjorie DeHeus, Scott Ellis, Ruth Rundell Grenci, Virginia Stevens; MIDDLE: Ethel Ray, Emily Duntz, Goldie White, Don Mabee, Elizabeth Meyer, Leonard Palmer, Mildred Stone Vaughn, Muriel Wooster, Leona Thompson Lewis; Elizabeth Bentley, Eva Button Bott, Mary Mabie, Gladys Beylegaard, Ruth Slater Palmer, Dorothy Mitler Price. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d3dc3ae9bfdfba3b1b9958/1645028370826-R2M0S2HDJLYJI5MS16N6/2020-03.jpg Greenville Calendar Images 2011-Current - March 2020 - Freehold Hotel (Copy) March 2020 - Freehold Hotel A bucolic day awaits the early 20th century four corners in Freehold. A telephone pole stands at the crossing of today’s SR 32 and CR67, waiting for wagons and cars to wend their way. The Freehold Hotel had already anchored the southeast corner for over a century on the Schoharie Turnpike that connected Athens and Schoharie. The wraparound porch gives way to the pillared look mid-century. The Parks family is associated with this structure for most of this past century. To the left sits the Carriage Barn. Note the boards that cross the street in the lower left.

Initial care could take care of twelve patients with later additions of studios, decks, and private rooms in 1950, 1953, and 1955 eventually establishing care of thirty clients. The Far Hills Nursing Home enabled the local community to take care of loved ones closer to home. Ruth Shield also kept an artist studio and, with her husband John, a farm. More stringent NYS regulation caused Shield to finally close her establishment in 1974. Today, the structure is owned and lived in by Dr. Hubicki and family; he is also the owner of the Greenville Medical Center on Rt 26A in Greenville. The insets show four pictures from a mid-1950s brochure. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d3dc3ae9bfdfba3b1b9958/1645028371924-2FCNG4K1VEJS3KLJGMBR/2020-05.jpg Greenville Calendar Images 2011-Current - May 2020 - GCS Teachers - Four Icons (Copy) May 2020 - GCS Teachers - Four Icons Based on input from the Greenville Local History Group and from Greenville Central High School Friends (Facebook), the 2020 calendar recognizes influential GCS teachers on the May, September, and inside back cover pages.

It was a century ago, June of 1920, when Peter & Gurine Nicholsen welcomed their first guests into their farm house. The resort business expanded under their son Arnold and his wife Mae, with third generation Gary, Wayne, and Gail overseeing Greenville’s largest resort. Over the past century, the local area has become a beneficiary not only through the employment of hundreds of people over the century but also from the magnanimous and generous sharing and participation of the family. In addition, many people will attest to the personal relationships developed over the years and of the lessons of life learned through the fulfillment of job duties.

Carrie Garrison (and husband Lew) took boarders from the “City” from about 1920 till the 1950s, with a capacity of 25 listed in the 1947 Chamber of Commerce brochure. (Daughter Marge Bennett would give up her bed and sleep in the garage attic to secure one more guest bed.) Burrless Chestnut Cottage, named after an unusual tree species in the front yard, defied the usual boarding house progression by not being a farm. Today, in the inset, the private residence is owned by Robert and Johanna Titus who proudly maintain a similar sign. The house is located on CR 67, one-half mile west of Freehold’s four corners. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d3dc3ae9bfdfba3b1b9958/1645028374044-EYP6OZFDTJ27IMHJZK8J/2020-08.jpg Greenville Calendar Images 2011-Current - August 2020 - Aerial of Greenville Main Street (Copy) August 2020 - Aerial of Greenville Main Street Main Street, Greenville of 1940 is a familiar scene. Main Street bisects the bottom of photo, highlighting, left to right, the sun-soaked façades of the Baumann building, Stevens Hardware, and Gus Baker’s in a clump. A short break follows before arriving at the Simpson house and a building that is the Doerner Law Office today. Just out of view on the right side would have been Simpson’s Garage, today’s Stewarts. At the bottom sit the larger buildings of the south side: the Pharmacy and IGA store. The photo’s center shows the elongated Stevens store pointing to the Stevens Farm building, today the fire house. Topmost on the left are the trunks of the elm trees that used to ring the pond and park area. Center top is the Perkowski house, today the Pioneer/Rescue Squad office. The inset shows the road level façades of the clump of buildings, in the middle the new Tasting Lab and then Kelly’s Pharmacy. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d3dc3ae9bfdfba3b1b9958/1645028374125-9CBHTJ4H00810W6IVWK5/2020-09.jpg Greenville Calendar Images 2011-Current - September 2020 - Next Seven Teachers (Copy) September 2020 - Next Seven Teachers More teacher recognitions.

The second photo, taken approximately 1935, is a lighthearted depiction of country living, with Fanny on the left and her sister-in-law Mary D. Phinney Lennon “making repairs” to the road. Fanny had married Osman Phinney in 1916, bore no children, and endured his tragic death in 1939. She became a Freehold fixture—maintaining the farm and 150 acres, helping Phinney family members, supporting her nephew Virgil’s airport project, and living a dignified life until her death in 1981. Her grand-niece Linda Phinney Matthews still resides on land formerly owned by Fanny. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d3dc3ae9bfdfba3b1b9958/1645028374771-X9BK2Q6H6IJ84AA9XJZ5/2020-11.jpg Greenville Calendar Images 2011-Current - November 2020 - Greenville Center Renovation (Copy) November 2020 - Greenville Center Renovation Jeff Pellerin poses in front of his house on West Road, one-third mile east of Greenville Center’s four corners. In 2003, Pellerin bought a dilapidated house, with barns, in need of major repair and renovation. Although Jeff claims there is more work needed, the newly painted house has caused passersby to once again appreciate this photogenic abode and setting. Many residents remember the house belonged to local legend Anna Flansburgh Hallock (1883-1972) who resided here most of her life. The GLHG continues to commend community members, long-time or recently acquainted, who restore, renovate, or upgrade historic structures, improving the ambiance of the community, even those set on our back roads. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d3dc3ae9bfdfba3b1b9958/1645028375250-BB61IKCY4LIQ4XI1JY5W/2020-12.jpg Greenville Calendar Images 2011-Current - December 2020 - Winter Looking North up North Road (Copy) December 2020 - Winter Looking North up North Road A mid-winter peacefulness settles over Greenville’s four corners in February 1945.

Left, Ken Dudley, son of Lester and Mae Dudley, was born in 1945 in Westerlo, moved to Freehold in 1954, and would have graduated with the GCS Class of 1962. Ken married Anna Marie Trombley in 1974 and raised their children: daughter Donna Mae (m. Adam Klob, ch. Colby, Molly, Monte) and son Brian (m. Amanda Robisch). Ken started Tip Top Furniture in Freehold in 1978 (seven years earlier in Ravena), a destination furniture store that serves a regional area. In 1987, Ken and Anna bought the Freehold Country Store which serves as a community anchor. In addition, Ken is a life member of the Freehold Volunteer Fire Company, served as a Greene County Legislator for twelve years, and started the East Durham Flea Market in 2018. Ken takes pride in his community service over the years: Kiwanis, GCS School Board, M. J. Quill Irish and Sports Center. Right, Stanly R. Ingalls, son of Randall and Cornelia Ingalls, grew up Norton Hill, graduated from GCS in 1966, and served in the Navy SeaBees. He was deployed to Vietnam from 1969-1970. In 1970, Stan married Ellen Bush who passed away in 1985. They raised three children: Megan (m. John Lafferty, ch. Eian), Genevieve (m. Tom Howley, ch. Ellen and Olivia Hagan), and John (m. Jeanette Partington, ch. Alex, Clare and Noah). In 1990, Stan married Helen Campbell who passed away in 2017. Stan has spent his entire life at GNH, the business his grandfather Stanley L. Ingalls started in 1937 in Norton Hill. In 2004, as President and CEO, Stan moved the Norton Hill anchor store into the former Ames location in Greenville. GNH also serves the Windham and Latham communities. Among several other awards over the years, in 2005, Stan was named Lumberman of the Year by the North Eastern Retail Lumbermen's Association, an honor also bestowed upon his father and his daughter Genn. Stan has been an active member of the Asbury United Methodist Church for 38 years, serving on the board of Trustees, on the Administrative Board, and as the Chairperson of the Finance Committee. Stan was also instrumental in the planning and building of the UMC Daycare center which continues to serve the community. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d3dc3ae9bfdfba3b1b9958/1645028378894-YBK7JG3TSI90Q43R55L2/2021-02.jpg Greenville Calendar Images 2011-Current - February 2021 - Straightening Rt 32 (Copy) February 2021 - Straightening Rt 32 After two decades of petitioning and lobbying from the Greenville Rotary and area businesses, NYS DOT effected a major reconstruction of a six mile stretch of State Route 32, centered near the intersection with State Route 143 in Dormansville. This reconstruction almost straightened the curves by Boomhower Rd, moved the road uphill near Dickinson Falls, and made SR 32 the non-stop, 55 mph road it is today. The upper-left photo shows the T-intersection by the older Agway, with the longer drawn-in black line showing the new curved roadway; the shorter blackened line shows the new approach on 143 which today comes to a stop. The lower-right photo shows the view from the south approaching the Hiawatha Grange (just off the right side of the photo) and curving toward the former Agway. Issues of the 1992 Greenville Local chronicled progress of the project, with completion the following year. Business leaders had not only wanted a more convenient ride but also hoped that business and population growth might come to Greenville. In the summer of 2020, that same section was re-paved. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d3dc3ae9bfdfba3b1b9958/1645028378998-SJOHCMX02OV2YPQR0BCW/2021-03.jpg Greenville Calendar Images 2011-Current - March 2021 - Arrival of Covid (Copy) March 2021 - Arrival of Covid The effects of the COVID-19 pandemic seemingly first appeared in Greenville in March 2020, with directives from NYS to close business, school, and social gatherings. Although the death toll in Greenville seemed to be minimal (as of Labor Day 2020), the social effect was widely experienced. Evidence can be seen in this quintet of photos: center: sign in front of school; upper left: price of gallon of gasoline at Cumberland Farms fell below two dollars; upper right: Freehold Country Store clerks Donna Madl and Kim McGahan wearing masks behind the food counter; bottom right: the Greenville Library sign announcing the closing date, to be partially opened in July; lower left: Mountain View Brasserie server Barbara Klob delivering take-out meals to parked cars.

Although COVID-19 suspended operations in Spring 2020, The Tasting Lab, at full capacity, can serve 85 customers with a menu of appetizers, burgers, and wings along with two dozen or more beers.

Although this location is uncertain, the Elliotts did have a farm on Old Plank Road in Norton Hill, near the intersection with Johnnycake Lane. Until the mid-twentieth century, Greenville was dotted with dozens, if not hundreds of small farms, with dairy farming the major form in the early-mid 1900s, and perhaps the Town of Greenville’s largest industry. Eventually, the economy of scale forced many farmers to abandon the farming business. Clarice married Charles Adamson and had a daughter Sylvia; Betty married Fred McAneny and had children Debbie, Eleanor, Richard (Miller), John, Beth, Michael, and Dan. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d3dc3ae9bfdfba3b1b9958/1645028387343-944MPUKURDJ5RZBCPHJN/2021-09.jpg Greenville Calendar Images 2011-Current - September 2021 - Freehold View (Copy) September 2021 - Freehold View A bucolic North Street, Freehold slumbers on a quiet circa-1940 day.

Carrie would chronicle their lives in a life-long diary that painted a panorama of family and town life. Fifty years later, Carrie wrote in her diary: “A little bit of fine snow this morning. The great day is here. We have done nothing all day but get ready for the party. Our 50th Anniversary was celebrated at Warren’s [her son who owned Ingalside Farm] this eve. 53 guests there. Our own family & some of the people who was at our wedding. Geo & Francis, Ed & Minnie Henry Lorenze & wife Alida Bryant. Aunt Bertie Elmer Hunt & wife. A wonderful party a grand time.

Located on Jennings Road, one quarter mile north of the Town of Greenville/Greene County line off of State Route 32, the main house was the site of Webb and Marie Jennings’ House on the Hill Resort during mid-century. The visually distinctive ochre dome of the Interfaith Peace Temple serves as a landmark beacon for travelers. Sold in 1986 to the SRV group, the church and retreat was headed by Bruce Hilliger (Swami Atmavratananda) upon his arrival in 1988. Now Greenville’s longest continuously serving minister in the area, Swami Bruce coordinates not only the Retreat’s religious services but also a busy schedule that has invited many community purposes (AA meetings, food co-op, karate & aerobics classes, meditation, etc.). The Greenville community also recognizes Bruce as a long-time school bus driver, substitute teacher, and guitar/music teacher. One inset shows an interior view of the wide area floor of the Interfaith Temple as it looks toward the Catskill Mountains. A second inset of the Interfaith stone, set on the Temple’s front façade, contains the symbols of five major religions, namely Buddhism (wheel of Dharma), Hinduism, Islam, Christianity and Judaism. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d3dc3ae9bfdfba3b1b9958/1645028391624-XNV20R5E6422O3JBYMH9/2021-13.jpg Greenville Calendar Images 2011-Current https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d3dc3ae9bfdfba3b1b9958/1645028392954-ANSK1OE06VD4O7VNDFOV/2021-14.jpg Greenville Calendar Images 2011-Current https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d3dc3ae9bfdfba3b1b9958/1645028393509-4CEGYYK1639STETEGY7L/2022-00.png Greenville Calendar Images 2011-Current - Cover 2022 (Copy) Cover 2022 Another Mildred Reinhardt sketch gracing a calendar cover https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d3dc3ae9bfdfba3b1b9958/1645028394624-3R0VV2DTR3GMUJKWKTT0/2022-01.png Greenville Calendar Images 2011-Current - January 2022 - Zan Bryant (Copy) January 2022 - Zan Bryant In the second half of the twentieth century, Alexander “Zan” Bryant Jr. shaped Greenville more than any other person. Born in 1932 to Al and Pearl Bryant, Zan graduated from GCS in 1950. He married Carol Thompson, enlisted in the Marines, and served in the Korean War. After being discharged in 1954, he joined his father in the family store. In 1961, Al and Zan had the vision that would turn Greenville into a regional shopping destination. This started modestly as a new supermarket, occupying the front of today’s Tops Plaza. They would expand it numerous times until it became Bryant’s Country Square containing the largest volume independent supermarket in New York State and numerous other shopping opportunities, while providing employment for thousands of local residents. He would partner in opening Greenville’s first self-service gas station as well as its first sewer treatment plant, bringing in Ames Department Store, State Bank and Dollar General, among others, while developing businesses countywide. Later, Zan would partner in developing residential properties, including Turon Road, and culminating in starting Country Estates that would grow to provide homes for 150 families.

A library or library association has functioned in Greenville at various times since the town’s formation over two hundred years ago. The current site hosted the Greenville Academy in 1815 until its razing in 1905 for construction of the current building in 1906. It use as a school ended with centralization in 1930/1932 and then re-utilized as a school in the 1960s as emergency space. In 1957, a town vote established this building as the town’s library. The friendly and helpful faces upon entering: clerk Phyllis Wolf (retiring Fall 2021, after many years of service), Library Director Barbara Flach (director since 1991), and clerk Bethany Best; missing clerk Jodi Omoto. The Library Board of Trustees include: Joan Smith, Carol Schreiber, Kathie Quackenbush, Margaret Finch, Jerry Adinolfi, and Melissa Palmer. The inset shows the pre-1906 Academy Building. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d3dc3ae9bfdfba3b1b9958/1645028397400-BBC4Q9YM1JQHW1IU3WRC/2022-04.png Greenville Calendar Images 2011-Current - April 2022 - Newry Renovation (Copy) April 2022 - Newry Renovation Brian and Robin Johnson stand before their home in Newry, at the intersection of CR 38 and Newry Road. In 1997 they purchased this former home of Daniel S. Miller (1762-1839) and Betsy (Jones) Miller (1771-1855), who moved here from East Hampton, NY around 1801, and established a tannery, harness and shoe-making enterprise. Daniel S. Miller was elected as a Commissioner of Highways at Greenville’s first Town Meeting held on April 5, 1803. In 1806 he was an Incorporator of the Greenfield Turnpike, which ran from his home to Rensselaerville. He was among the first Trustees of Greenville Academy chartered in 1816. He operated his businesses for many years, and was a central figure here at Newry. Daniel S. Miller was considered to be a prominent New York merchant, as was his son, Daniel Stratton Miller (1806-1878), who moved to NYC. Daniel and Betsy Miller had four sons and five daughters, and their home remained in the family for over one hundred years. Robin and Brian have raised their two daughters, Allison and Casey, here, and love the land and the sense of history that surround them. They have restored the foundation, floors, fireplaces and fixtures; have replaced the boiler, roof and gutters; and remain committed to the ongoing efforts of their stewardship. The GLHG continues to applaud home owners and community members who restore, renovate, or upgrade historic structures, improving the ambiance of the community, even those set on our back roads. One inset shows an early stage of renovation; a second shows the historic marker beside the house. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d3dc3ae9bfdfba3b1b9958/1645028399384-95V0HH1191UNV3Q0LOHE/2022-05.png Greenville Calendar Images 2011-Current - May 2022 - The Mamas (Copy) May 2022 - The Mamas The Mamas were a choral nonet of Greenville area women who performed gratis for area and regional events. With a nod to the 1960s rock group The Mamas and the Papas, this group originally formed in 1972 as The Mamas Without the Papas.

Elena served as the early leader of the group—the newcomer who could play guitar and teaching vocals. Carol, Bruni, and Jeannette had replaced original members Barbara Van Auken, Cathy Quackenbush, and Sharon Adinolfi. During their seven years, the Mamas rehearsed every week during the school year and performed for Rotary, the local resorts, anniversaries as well as the College of St. Rose, the Cerebral Palsy Telethon, and other regional benefits. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d3dc3ae9bfdfba3b1b9958/1645028399864-9U0KO6LXMS0HR0UL8OKY/2022-06.png Greenville Calendar Images 2011-Current - June 2022 - Groundbreaking for New School Building (Copy) June 2022 - Groundbreaking for New School Building A growing GCS student population led to an approved proposition of a new Jr-Sr High School on property to the rear of the then GCS K-12 building that fronted State Route 32.

The table maker, David Turner, was born about 1810, lived on the former Augstein Farm on Maple Avenue, about one-quarter mile from the SR 81 intersection. Crafting these tables in the mid-1800s, Turner is believed to have made as many as 170 tables. The table, in its simplest form, is a two-panel top, forming a 42”x42” square or oval. Spreading these two panels reveals an extending mechanism, made only with wood elements, that, with additional leaves, allows the table to spread to more than ten feet, often allowing twenty-five people to utilize the table. Descendants of Turner—among them members of the Ellis, Ingalls, Lockwood, Merritt, Spalding, Losee, Rundell families—often found a note attached to the underside of the table top identifying the maker. Top photos show Mike Knott’s table closed and extended; bottom photos show Barbara Stevens closed table and Don & Debra Teator’s open table with details of the extender. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d3dc3ae9bfdfba3b1b9958/1645028401691-EXY2AOR1OB0R59PSC9GA/2022-08.png Greenville Calendar Images 2011-Current - August 2022 - CJCLDS Church (Copy) August 2022 - CJCLDS Church Post-WWII has seen several new churches satisfy the religious needs of our community. After purchasing a site in 1996, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints erected its meeting house on County Route 41, Greenville Center, with John V. Gulisane, Jr., serving as the Branch President of the new unit. The congregation was first organized in December, 1989, renting space from the Freehold Christian Congregational Church, County Route 67, Freehold. The building was dedicated on July 6, 1997. Currently, Wayne Marquit serves as Branch President. Historically, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints was organized on April 6, 1830 in Fayette Township, New York, beginning with six members. Currently, there are over 16.7 million members worldwide. Past calendars have featured these churches: Freehold Congregational (1998 calendar), Grenville Episcopal (2000), Greenville Presbyterian (2001), Greenville Catholic (2002), Greenville Center Baptist (2012), Norton Hill-Greenville Methodist (2014 & 2015), and Greenville SRV (2021).

Early 20th century educational policy and reform recognized the need for the maze of one room school houses to better serve and be served for the changing economy and culture. A vote in 1930 approved the formation and centralization of the new Greenville Central Rural School, with twenty-two local school houses joining the Greenville Free Academy. Currently, the school district represents over forty original, smaller school districts from the Towns of Greenville, Rensselaerville, Westerlo, New Baltimore, Coxsackie, Cairo, Durham, Berne, Coeymans, New Scotland, and Conesville. One of the most recent additions was that of the Potter Hollow district, contributing the “head” of the “duck,” looking “leftward.” Although not part of the official district area, many Durham area students were given the choice of attending Greenville or Cairo until the early 1970s. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d3dc3ae9bfdfba3b1b9958/1645028407676-JD0D4G74QC5RYIYKKUP4/2022-12.png Greenville Calendar Images 2011-Current - December 2022 - Interior of Vanderbilt Theater (Copy) December 2022 - Interior of Vanderbilt Theater The Vanderbilt Opera House served Greenville as its cultural center.

Paul was born in Greenville, the second child of Andy and Eva Macko, graduated with the GCS Class of 1973, and worked at Sunny Hill Resort until 1981 before working at NYS Department of Corrections until 2007. “Retirement” led to serving on the Town Board for a term. Macko was first elected as Supervisor in 2010 and is now serving his seventh term—the second longest Town Supervisor service in town history. Accomplishments of Macko’s tenure include the much talked about but finally completed sewer system; an upgraded and expanded water system; improved and expanded sidewalks, especially on Main Street and north to Country Estates Rd; a substantial revision of zoning laws; an update to the Comprehensive Plan; plans for a water tower replacement; and, dear to his heart, full support of Greenville’s Beautification project (decorative lighting, planters, banners, the Ducks and auction, Prevost Hall development, etc.) The list of Town Supervisors since 1900, in reverse chronological order: Paul Macko 2010-current, Kevin Lewis 2008-2009, Aldo Cardamone 2004-2007, Brian Wickes 2000-2003, Chris Martens 1996-1999, William Maxwell Jr 1991-1995, Frank Tiberi 1986-1990, Kenneth Huemmer 1982-1985, Len Cuifo 1980-1981, Ed Murphy 1978-1979, Andrew Macko (Paul’s father) 1970-1977, Curt Cunningham 1969, Fred Flack 1964-1968, Arnold Nicholsen 1954-1963, David Horton 1949-1953, Stanley Ingalls 1940-1947, Robert Van Houten 1922-1939 (longest tenure), Harrison Gardiner 1920-1923, Lewis Hoose 1914-1919, Truman Ingalls 1910-1913, Henry Botsford 1902-1905, and O.

Located on State Route 81, a quarter mile west of the Red Mill Rd & Ingalside Rd intersection, Breezy Knoll opened its doors probably in the 1920s. Following the pattern of a farm house taking boarders to supplement income, Breezy Knoll (aka Jesse’s Breezy Knoll, Breezy Knoll Acres) advertised a capacity of 75 guests in 1945 and that number grew to 125 in 1960. One of its local claims of fame, unverified, was “Longest Bar in the Catskills.” The chain of ownership started with the Jesse family (Fred and Minnie) in the 1920s and ended with a group of seven partners, one of them Al Kozich, in the 1960s (Joey D, Little Al also remembered). The resort closed in the early-mid 1970s and sat vacant for a few years before the next reincarnation.

OCDR is connected to the main temple building Yeshe Nyingpo located in NYC. OCDR acts not only as a spiritual place but also as guardianship of Tibetan culture, tradition, and ancient artifacts brought over from Tibet dating back up to 2000-2500 years. One structure is the World Peace Stupa, built with the aspiration that all wars and disasters would be averted, contains relics of Lord Buddha and other saints. The founder, His Holiness Dudjom Rinpoche, along with current leaders, worked tirelessly to upkeep the center for the community’s benefit. In keeping with the Buddhist principle, the door is open to everyone. For more info, visit: www.dudjomtersar.org.

Previously operated as a farm by the Sherrill and Vanderbilt families, the Town of Greenville purchased the 156 acre property in 1992 from Joan Vanderbilt Davidson with the assistance of an Iroquois Pipeline grant and through a myriad of community fund-raisers and contributions. A newly formed Citizens Park Committee guided early progress and was recognized by a 1993 Greene County award for Most Outstanding Planning Achievement. That committee morphed into the current Community Partners of Greenville which continues to guide park progress. The page shows the park sign, the newspaper clipping of the award notice, a hand-drawn map of the nature trail, the North Barn peeking through the playground, hikers on a backwoods trail, and a Debra Teator aerial. This aerial shows the South Barn to the left of the North Barn. In front of the North Barn is the Vanderbilt house and barns that were razed in 1999, now sitting as a vacant lot in front of the park. The park entrance starts from Rt 32 on the right side of the aerial, continues along the wooded stonewall, and then turns a right angle to the rear of the North Barn. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d3dc3ae9bfdfba3b1b9958/1672944047529-DVUFO6V7EDTPMKWFG2YS/2023-12.png Greenville Calendar Images 2011-Current - December 2023 – Simpson - Arctic Cat Business (Copy) December 2023 – Simpson - Arctic Cat Business Simpson Sales and Service, owned by Fred and Bruni Simpson, became the largest Arctic Cat snowmobile dealer in the entire Northeast in Autumn 1969 with this shipment of 126 snowmobiles on three tractor trailers.

Looking for a vertical siding alternative in the 1970s, Vedder took a one-side finished, 7.25 x .75 board, cut a .375 tongue hanging on the rough side and a 1.25 inch tongue hanging on the smooth, planed side. When butted together, the result was a flush fit on the smooth side and a .875 innie-groove on the rough side. This contrasted with the common board-and-batten in which two boards are placed on a wall, with a gap between, to be covered usually by a 3-4 inch board, leaving an outie projection. The competition to the Vedder siding was T-111, a 4’ x 8’ panel with thin lengthwise grooves every eight inches. Vedder siding was first milled at GNH, its production ending when the sawmill closed in the 1970s. Currently, a national company utilizes the same pattern, calling it Rustic Channel. Any credit to Frank Vedder was lost. One photo shows the pattern on the Howley house in Freehold. A second photo shows the Flach barn complex in Newry, utilizing the Vedder siding, while a third shows the siding pattern in a close-up of a Flach barn, The other two photos show a cut-out of the smooth side and of the rough cut, innie side. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d3dc3ae9bfdfba3b1b9958/1736956379458-JPVM890M9307U2PSUEC2/image-asset.png Greenville Calendar Images 2011-Current - March 2024 – Academy, Presbyterian Church (Copy) March 2024 – Academy, Presbyterian Church One of the oldest photos in the Historian’s files, this photo, perhaps from the 1880s, shows the Greenville Academy and Presbyterian Church on a bright leafy day. Although both buildings still stand (inset), their current uses have changed to our Library and the Prevost Hall. The Academy served as a regional learning center from 1815 to 1932 when GCS centralization combined 22 one-room school house districts. The Academy was razed in 1905-1906 to make way for a newer Academy. The Presbyterian Church served the community until about 2000, followed by community efforts to preserve this historic building as a community/performance center.

They started the business by taking in the overflow guests from Twelve Maples, the boarding house across the street (site of today’s office). Willow Rest Farm, as the Schirmers named their new business, thrived as they expanded and raised six children. Son Reinhold (Reiny) Schermer (spelling change) married Josephine (Jo) Gawel in 1942, bought the business in 1948 and they started their first year as the renamed Pine Lake Manor in 1949. Reiny and Jo’s daughter Joanne married Tom Baumann in 1963 and they entered the business in 1972. Their children (Amy, Kevin and Jacquie and their families) are also actively involved in running the business.

Possibly built during the lifetime of David Horton Jr and his son Marcellus, and lastly utilized by Floyd and Will Bates, this barn, and the dozens of others like it in the Town of Greenville, came to symbolize a bucolic rural mythology. Many a Greenville area family’s way of living was determined by the hard work this lifestyle demanded. Today, these rural grand dames give a nostalgic look to our area, albeit a fading one as one after another either collapse from neglect or have been razed for newer ways. This barn, with its commanding view of the Catskills Escarpment, joined the list of defunct barns when it burned nearly a half-century ago.

A 1940 meeting held at May Chatterton’s home sought interested gardeners who then formed the Clematis Garden Club. It was named for the vine growing over the front door of Bramblewood, Ms. Chatterton’s house. CGC utilizes the talents of gardeners from a twelve town area of Greene, southern Albany, and eastern Schoharie Counties, with meetings often held in the Town of Greenville. Activities include regularly scheduled meetings, field trips, lectures, demonstrations, open houses, planting and beautification work, recognition of Gardens of the Month, and charity fundraisers. It also is a member of the Federated Garden Clubs of New York State, Third District. Current membership numbers around fifty.

This type of drive, in early 20th century Grenville, could be to a nearby field or even through a nearby village. Mary was known to drive her herd to the Stevens Hill area (hill overlooking southwest corner of Greenville Four Corners). Mary V Hickok (1883-1960) married Roswell “Rod” Talmage (1859-1941) on 4 Jan 1902 by Rev. R. D. Van Dyck. At least three spellings mark this surname, with the Greenville Cemetery listing Tallmadge. An estate auction of note took place in 1960, after Mary’s passing, at her homestead located about a mile north of SR 81 on Ingalside Rd, across from the Ingalside/Camp Malka swimming pool. The buildings on the Talmadge property (another spelling) fell into disrepair and were razed. Rod’s taxidermy business was noted in the October 1992 calendar. courtesy Judith Rundell https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d3dc3ae9bfdfba3b1b9958/1736958722728-QV2IKSADXDHDEQW5F204/image-asset.png Greenville Calendar Images 2011-Current - May 2025 – Greenville Drive-In (Copy) May 2025 – Greenville Drive-In Dwight Grimm and Leigh Van Swall pose by the movie projector of the Greenville Drive-In, a venture they assumed ten years ago in 2015.

Fame found the drive-in when a Taylor Swift video featured the movie screen. The Drive-In first opened in 1959 under the ownership of Pete Carelas and family. In 1988, a group of eleven community members assumed control and kept the Drive-In open into the new century. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d3dc3ae9bfdfba3b1b9958/1736958833178-7VSWNCUQAJ747BSGY6V6/image-asset.png Greenville Calendar Images 2011-Current - June 2025 – Raffo Villa Resort (Copy) June 2025 – Raffo Villa Resort A vacant spot 1.1 miles north of Freehold’s Four Corners on SR 32 belies the activity of thousands of guests who stayed at a series of resorts located there, whose names graced four different eras. In the early 20th century, The Oakwood was one of the largest hotels in town. By the 1920s through 1940s, Raffo Villa advertised itself as the largest Italian American boarding house in the Catskills, hosting up to 125 guests at a time. In the 1950s, the Nilsson House anchored the same site with added amenities. In the 1960s, the Conservative Baptist Camp (not pictured), added a block building and presented a religious flavor. The only buildings that remain from this complex today are the block building that houses the Carlsen Gallery on the west side of SR 32 and the Annex across the road on the ridge line that is an apartment building hidden behind trees. Also on the east side of the road are vestiges of ball courts; the large, leveled tract of lawn is the former swimming pool.

George’s father, William S. Vanderbilt, succeeded the Lewis Sherrill family in farming this 160 acre parcel. Earlier records mention acres of buckwheat, corn, oats, rye, wheat, potatoes, and apples. In later years, hay for cattle became dominant. The photos show machines of the 1920s, long ago enough to render these agricultural practices as almost unrecognizable. This farm was but one of dozens of farms that populated the Town of Greenville and its environs, making this industry one of the economic engines of the area, joined by the up and coming tourism business. This photo album belonged to the family of David Rundell, neighbors of the Vanderbilt farm, and whose farm land would, soon after these photos, become the site of the new Greenville Central Rural School District.

A September 2023 invitation attracted several hundred community members to a barbecue celebrating a new 40’ x 80’ covered space that not only will serve as a community center in the years ahead but is a memorial to family members of GNH Lumber, Inc. – Stanley L. Ingalls, Randall (Buddy) S. Ingalls, Walter H. Ingalls, and Stanley R. Ingalls, all of whom current GNH President John Ingalls said during its dedication, “chose service over self.” GNH provided the plans and materials for the pavilion; Delaware Engineering assisted with permits; and local contractors, vendors, and volunteers helped bring the project to fruition. A prospective Eagle Scout project took on the task of constructing twelve picnic tables and benches for the pavilion. Those from the Greenville community who use the pavilion also enjoy a splendid view of the Catskill Mountains to the south. The inset shows the length of the building from the south. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d3dc3ae9bfdfba3b1b9958/1736959252003-QXCQ6FK8FA9NGEY6P5C2/image-asset.png Greenville Calendar Images 2011-Current - October 2025 – Irving House (Copy) October 2025 – Irving House Almost two hundred years marks the presence of the Irving family in Greenville. The earliest Irving in Greenville arrived about 1830. William Irving ran Irving’s Pharmacy on Main Street until he passed in 1922. One of Greenville’s landmark houses, built around 1780 and located two residences south of The Westerner, was owned by Marion Irving until she passed in 1991. The photo shows the Marion Irving house in the 1920s (Marion, sitting left) while the inset shows her great-nephew Don Irving and husband Matthew Terry near the end of their renovation in 2016. Currently, Don Irving owns four adjacent properties – the Marion Irving house, the William Irving house, The Westerner, and the Knowlton. A past calendar photo noted the glitter of Christmastime in the Irving area. The nearby road, Irving Road, further testifies to the Irving influence. Note: in 2024, the Westerner closed its doors after fifty-seven years in operation.

In 1947, founder George Baumann moved his septic cleaning operation from Hudson, NY, closer to Baumann’s Brookside, his brother Russell’s resort, in Greenville. As outhouses were phased out, septic tanks were installed, and the task of cleaning them was undesirable but necessary. George turned over the business to Russell the same year, and, in 1965, Russell’s son-in-law Richard Schreiber (husband of Russell’s daughter Carol) joined the business. A diaphragm pump was used first, but it proved inadequate in some cases. In 1971, Rich and Carol bought a vacuum pump that initially was used for businesses located close to Brookside. Soon, other resorts in the area requested the service. Rich and Carol’s son-in-law Kevin Lewis joined the operation in 1994; Tucker joined in 2022. Nowadays, the collected product is disposed of at approved DEC septic collection sites. Word of mouth about the business has spread throughout Greene and southern Albany Counties, which now comprise its service area. Baumann’s Septic Cleaning thanks its many customers of the past three-quarters of a century for their loyalty. caption assist – Roe & Kevin Lewis https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d3dc3ae9bfdfba3b1b9958/1736959421523-8KDLDZB6FVMWQK4B9SKK/image-asset.png Greenville Calendar Images 2011-Current - December 2025 – Greenville Cemetery (Copy) December 2025 – Greenville Cemetery A local history gem, the nearly twenty acres of the Greenville Cemetery has served as a final resting place for many area residents since the 1780s. The oldest section holds the names of the settlers mentioned in Greenville’s earliest records and documents. With its view of the village and Catskill Mountains in the distance, it is a bucolic setting. It is inevitable that cemeteries face the encroachment of time, tree and other foliage growth, the settling of roads, and rising costs. Operated as an Association Cemetery (with no formal link to a funeral home), the Cemetery Association Board is tasked with offering a public service and ensuring well maintained grounds. In the last couple years, a group of community minded individuals has risen to the challenge of volunteering to help sustain a well-kept place that is respectful of the town’s deceased. This group encourages other community members to be a part of this effort, whether through physical involvement and/or financial support. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d3dc3ae9bfdfba3b1b9958/1736959528792-JHDN0VW9L1X4545DGVZX/image-asset.png Greenville Calendar Images 2011-Current - 2025 Recognition, pg 1 (Copy) 2025 Recognition, pg 1 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d3dc3ae9bfdfba3b1b9958/1736959597526-9209EIFL1J0LRXGDHLCM/image-asset.png Greenville Calendar Images 2011-Current - 2025 Recognition, pg 2 (Copy) 2025 Recognition, pg 2 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d3dc3ae9bfdfba3b1b9958/1736959660252-K3WWEF5LMQVRQVYZIC4T/image-asset.png Greenville Calendar Images 2011-Current - 2025 - Back Cover Notes (Copy) 2025 - Back Cover Notes https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d3dc3ae9bfdfba3b1b9958/04e9e6d7-9760-4068-9a68-4442c397a83f/2026-15.png Greenville Calendar Images 2011-Current https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d3dc3ae9bfdfba3b1b9958/2b26afa5-16c7-48fc-ae02-d556971c06f3/2026-00.png Greenville Calendar Images 2011-Current Cover 2026 – Greenville Local History Group 2026 Calendar 2026 Calendar – Blueprint 1904 Academy Façade https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d3dc3ae9bfdfba3b1b9958/7334b067-45a5-41f2-a80f-c1bd72056be2/2026-01.png Greenville Calendar Images 2011-Current January 2026 - Episcopal Church - 200 The 200th anniversary of the founding of Greenville’s Christ Episcopal Church was marked in 2025. A brief history of its origins can be found in the 2000 GLHG calendar (March). The present building was consecrated in 1857. It has several stained-glass windows and still maintains the bell, pews, altar rail, and pulpit from a former building. It also features a pipe organ, and, in 2015, the church was placed on the National Register of Historic Places. As part of its anniversary celebrations, it participated in the NY Landmarks Conservancy’s Sacred Sites Open House wherein the public was invited to visit and learn more about its building and history. Bishop Jeremiah Williamson, the 10th Bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Albany, also led a special Sunday service. A free concert featuring several talented musicians from the local area was held along with other special events to mark the many ways its congregation has contributed to the community over its long history. Photos include: church exterior, church interior, National Register of Historic Places plaque, and musician playing the pipe organ. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d3dc3ae9bfdfba3b1b9958/9197172e-a977-4295-96d5-de7ab06f9857/2026-02.png Greenville Calendar Images 2011-Current February 2026 - Beers 1867 – 1990 GCS The Atlas of Greene County (Beers, et. al., 1867) presented a close-up road map of the four corners of the hamlet of Greenville, where today’s Routes 32 and 81 cross. Structure markers and property boundaries with names of the homeowners and businesses are labeled and placed along its main roads. A Greenville Business Directory is included at the bottom of the map while the twisting path of a creek wends its way through the hamlet. In 1990, as part of a GCS Challenge Program, 4th grade local history project (teachers: Dively, Piseco, Bader, Henke, and Halley), students re-surveyed the hamlet, collected house histories, and communicated with the current homeowners. Complementing this project was the addition of students’ sketches of thirteen notable structures lying inside the hamlet map that stretches from today’s Vanderbilt Park to the north, Hill Street to the south, today’s Post Office to the west, and Stevens Hill (today’s CR 26 & 26A) to the east. Notable 1867 surnames were Spees, Knowles, Botsford, Stevens, Wakely, Sherrill, McCabe, Earl, Hartt, Talmage, and Budd. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d3dc3ae9bfdfba3b1b9958/0359c503-fc99-417c-aca8-a680002df091/2026-03.png Greenville Calendar Images 2011-Current March 2026 - Freehold View 1929 Needing to accommodate a burgeoning automobile culture, major roadways between hamlets were transformed into State Roads. This 1929 view of the dusty road leading into Freehold was taken about 100 yards north, or uphill, from the intersection of what is now known as (?) Sunny Hill Rd and the newly created State Route 32. The inset shows the current day view. On the left in the earlier photo, visible are Freehold’s one room schoolhouse (before centralization, with its location in the current photo blocked by today’s firehouse) and, just beyond, the Sutton Garage and house (the Elsasser house, blocked in the present day view). In the foreground on the right is the Story house, where S. Edna and her brother Ward resided (today, the Rosa house). S. Edna Story was a long-tenured teacher in the school building across the road. Beyond the Story house is a line of trees that blocks the view until more buildings may be seen in the distance. These structures are tentatively identified as the back of the Freehold Country Store (also visible in the current photo) and the Antus house (the site today occupied by Tip Top Furniture). Just beyond, out of sight, lie the “four corners” at the center of the village. The gauzy view of the Catskill Mountains ethereally reveals patches of land that are forested today. main photo: courtesy Maryann Morrison https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d3dc3ae9bfdfba3b1b9958/60c92c68-e0f6-4e85-964f-eeb2dc998475/2026-04.png Greenville Calendar Images 2011-Current April 2026 - O’Hara Cemetery Peter O’Hara (1775-1856, inset) escaped from Ireland as a young adult, settling in the southwestern Greenville area that would take on his surname, O’Hara Corners. Arriving about 1820 and settling into a new homestead (later burned in 1929), Peter and his wife Lucretia Darbee would bear ten more children to complement the six they already had. Upon his retirement, great-great-grandson Peter I. O’Hara returned from CT to another of the O’Hara homesteads closer to the Corners. With his partner John Garofalo, he renovated this newer homestead, upgrading the grounds and continuing to maintain the well-kept O’Hara Cemetery. Because the O’Haras were strong adherents of the Roman Catholic faith, consideration for the location of the area’s first Catholic church was given to O’Hara Corners before it was decided to place it in nearby East Durham. However, this connection led to Albany Bishop, later Cardinal, McCloskey to consecrate the O’Hara Cemetery in 1848 as one of the first Catholic Cemeteries in the region. The main photo shows the cemetery with its backdrop of fields and the Catskill Mountains. A second inset shows the current Peter O’Hara with his brother John O’Hara standing in front of the current homestead (photo from the 2016 calendar). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d3dc3ae9bfdfba3b1b9958/43a862a7-0b5a-4c60-9a75-ebba65383125/2026-05.png Greenville Calendar Images 2011-Current May 2026 - Main Street c1930 A sultry summer day captures the four corners in Greenville, presumably in the 1920s.

Left center is A.J. Cunningham Funeral Home, flanked on its right by the Elsie Roe house. In 2026, it is the site of National Bank of Coxsackie’s Greenville Branch. Behind the cars in the thicket of trees sits the barely visible, picket-fence-lined house on the northeast corner, Tiny Diner’s spot today.

In 1945, Paul and Eleanor Biskupich, with sons Joe, Paul Jr, and Bill in tow, bought the farm, changing the name to Better Days Farm. They continued the farm, restaurant, bar, and grill. A capacity of 35 guests soon grew to 75 with the addition of a motel unit. A new filtered pool, seen in the aerial photo, also enhanced accommodations. Paul died in 1963, leaving Eleanor to continue the business. In 1986, the resort was sold, with a long tenure as Hollowbrook Lodge with the Kelliher family. In 2005, current owners Jim and Sharon Molloy (inset) purchased the property and have operated the Hollowbrook Inn and Restaurant for the past twenty years. The aerial (taken before the motel units were built) shows the resort grounds, all east (rightward, in the photo) of State Rt 32.

Located on North Street, the original business was the creation of William and Jennie Irving along with their son Richard. The business began as The Westerner Steakhouse in an existing barn still located on the property. In 1969, ground was broken on the current road front building, destined to become a diner and gift shop. Launched as The Westerner in Spring 1970, it was an instant success. The second section of the building, added in 1971, allowed more space for Western style apparel. With burgers and soft goods not mixing, the diner closed. The third and final section was completed in 1972 with a “Blazing Saddles” style facade resembling a Gold Rush era town. The Westerner filled a niche by catering to summer tourists and students going back to school with new jeans and more. In 2003, the original family proprietors were succeeded by grandson/nephew Donald Irving. This third generation revitalized apparel, footwear, and gift brands, while still stocking other merchandise from childhood summers spent by customers in the original store. An added tradition was the dazzling holiday light displays spread across multiple properties surrounding the store. When it was closing, one customer expressed the town’s feeling that “The Westerner made Greenville different.” Photos include the front of the most recent store, its holiday light display, and a Country Store in the Steakhouse building dating to the 1980’s.

Meant to involve the local communities and formed to train local volunteers to spot enemy aircraft, these structures were recycled for other purposes after WWII. The King Hill structure (April 1995 GLHG calendar) has faded into the mysts of memory. However, this Ground Observer Corps building, once located almost 200 yards east of the Norton Hill Church on Rt 81, passed through several hands before being “discovered” in derelict condition (see inset) by Walter Preisner who undertook a year-long effort, at his own expense, to renovate the building. Bernard Preisner, Walter’s grandfather, was one of many volunteers at the King Hill building, and thus became the inspiration for a grandson to pay tribute to his family and to the people who served the US. The main photo shows Walter Preisner next to the renovated building in a field near Gayhead.

The trucking company was started in 1944 when Ed and Ruth Van Auken bought their first truck operation in their hometown of Cooksburg. Hard work combined with good business sense allowed for a business expansion and a family move to Greenville in 1957. Sons John (Jack) and Jim joined in the leadership in 1957 and 1961 respectively. Jim’s sons, Ed and Jim Jr., assumed management duties in 2009. Ed’s daughter, Alex, was added to operations in 2025.

Its formation began with the efforts of Rev. Ernest and Nancy Fink. They started a fledgling ministry, the Greenville Bible Training Center, at the Hiawatha Grange in Dormansville, before purchasing the former Quackenbush Pharmacy on Main Street, Greenville, and renaming it the Greenville Christian Life Center. With a rapidly growing membership and the purchase of property at their current site, GCLC broke ground on July 9, 1989, for a structure that would become both a sanctuary and a child education center. When the Finks left for a new venture in Albany about 2000, GCLC continued on. Changes in membership numbers and the viability of their school coincided with the congregation changing its name to House of Glory. In 2018, Pastor Marcy Bibens, along with her husband Roy (inset), arrived in Greenville from Albany to continue their community mission work and outreach.

A cardboard tube, lying undiscovered in a dusty attic for over a century, proved to contain blueprints, dated 1904 and 1905, for the new building. The floor plans from 1905 were used and are easily identifiable by frequenters of the Greenville Public Library, occupant of the building since 1957. Blueprints for these floors are shown here. The library today occupies the first floor where the “classrooms” were. Bathrooms have replaced the north staircase. The second floor’s “recitation and assembly rooms” now provide space for book sales held by Friends of the Library, and there is a kitchen where the school’s library was located. Other past uses of the building have included fish fries, classrooms for GCS students, and a hearing room used by the Town Justices. The plans for the interiors of both sets of blueprints are similar, but in a different layout. However, the façade pictured with the 1904 blueprints is noticeably different. It appears on this calendar’s cover. The inset shows a current view of this building. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d3dc3ae9bfdfba3b1b9958/d36da1c9-7a59-437a-8447-021296f23d20/2026-12.png Greenville Calendar Images 2011-Current December 2026 - Town Building 1955 Dedication The Open House for the new Town of Greenville garage and town offices on CR 26A in January 1955 marked a benchmark day for Greenville. Town Supervisor Arnold Nicholsen declared that “the building represents probably one of the finest Town garages in this area both from an architectural and from a practical standpoint.” The $30,000 bond issue would “result in building a 50’x100’, concrete block construction, with flat roof ceiling, height 14 feet with four large overhead doors, each 12x14 feet on the long side of the building. The interior would be divided to allow for a workshop with a grease pit and office 15x20 feet for a meeting space and for town records, as well as two bathrooms and toilet basic facilities.” The structure today serves as the Town Highway Department, and the Town Board meets in the former Pioneer building. One inset shows Dedication Day with nine of the ten men identified: Councilmen Leland Cunningham and Raymond Hunt, Justice of the Peace William Graf, electrical and heating contractor Wilbur Baumann, Superintendent of Highways John Parks, Town Supervisor Arnold Nicholsen, painting contractor Phil Algozzine, Town Clerk Howard Adriance, and Justice of Peace Ray Bennett. The other inset shows the building today. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d3dc3ae9bfdfba3b1b9958/4c744085-4609-4866-b5b8-01bb04beeae0/2026-13.png Greenville Calendar Images 2011-Current https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d3dc3ae9bfdfba3b1b9958/78e7d010-1077-45d5-bcfa-f478fb1e27a3/2026-14.png Greenville Calendar Images 2011-Current https://vedderresearchlibrary.org/transcripts daily 0.75 2025-09-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d3dc3ae9bfdfba3b1b9958/1758215875124-TTAFABS1KQ7JFEUWHPZY/unsplash-image-h-huws0YRo8.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1589847921926-YXCEN2JVL6T6OEYSBTQG/image-asset.jpeg https://vedderresearchlibrary.org/book-store daily 0.75 2025-12-03 https://vedderresearchlibrary.org/book-store/ashland monthly 0.5 2025-08-09 https://vedderresearchlibrary.org/book-store/athens monthly 0.5 2025-08-14 https://vedderresearchlibrary.org/book-store/bridges monthly 0.5 2025-12-16 https://vedderresearchlibrary.org/book-store/bronck-family monthly 0.5 2025-12-16 https://vedderresearchlibrary.org/book-store/catskill monthly 0.5 2025-12-16 https://vedderresearchlibrary.org/book-store/childrens-books monthly 0.5 2025-12-16 https://vedderresearchlibrary.org/book-store/coxsackie monthly 0.5 2025-08-09 https://vedderresearchlibrary.org/book-store/durham monthly 0.5 2025-08-09 https://vedderresearchlibrary.org/book-store/genealogy monthly 0.5 2025-12-03 https://vedderresearchlibrary.org/book-store/greene-county-historical-society monthly 0.5 2025-12-17 https://vedderresearchlibrary.org/book-store/hudson-river monthly 0.5 2025-12-16 https://vedderresearchlibrary.org/book-store/hunter monthly 0.5 2025-12-16 https://vedderresearchlibrary.org/book-store/jewett monthly 0.5 2025-08-09 https://vedderresearchlibrary.org/book-store/john-m-ham monthly 0.5 2025-12-11 https://vedderresearchlibrary.org/book-store/new-baltimore monthly 0.5 2025-08-09 https://vedderresearchlibrary.org/book-store/oak-hill monthly 0.5 2025-12-16 https://vedderresearchlibrary.org/book-store/railroads monthly 0.5 2025-12-11 https://vedderresearchlibrary.org/book-store/revolutionary-war monthly 0.5 2025-12-11 https://vedderresearchlibrary.org/book-store/thomas-cole monthly 0.5 2025-12-16 https://vedderresearchlibrary.org/book-store/windham monthly 0.5 2025-12-16 https://vedderresearchlibrary.org/book-store/p/reports-to-the-homefront-all-four-editions monthly 0.5 2025-12-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d3dc3ae9bfdfba3b1b9958/74ee3be2-2c1c-4f15-98f3-8a0c45ad3d09/IMG_3904.jpeg Book Store - Reports To The Homefront (All four Editions) - IMG_3904.jpeg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d3dc3ae9bfdfba3b1b9958/a59728b2-ee40-40ea-ba55-724db7670527/IMG_3844.jpg Book Store - Reports To The Homefront (All four Editions) - IMG_3844.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d3dc3ae9bfdfba3b1b9958/4a71025d-448b-4f72-b48a-86281948f6f6/IMG_3843.jpg Book Store - Reports To The Homefront (All four Editions) - IMG_3843.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d3dc3ae9bfdfba3b1b9958/fba93f87-6324-4521-9636-e62ccfecdf0b/IMG_3842.jpg Book Store - Reports To The Homefront (All four Editions) - IMG_3842.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d3dc3ae9bfdfba3b1b9958/e69cf635-c134-4a6f-8a24-ac2f009dc0ed/IMG_3841.jpg Book Store - Reports To The Homefront (All four Editions) - IMG_3841.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d3dc3ae9bfdfba3b1b9958/54a2a60a-696b-4a4b-83d0-0a0cb07ba1ea/IMG_3905.jpg Book Store - Reports To The Homefront (All four Editions) - IMG_3905.jpg https://vedderresearchlibrary.org/book-store/p/intimate-friends monthly 0.5 2025-12-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d3dc3ae9bfdfba3b1b9958/a3ecd75c-4c26-472b-828b-1693deca7703/IMG_3901.jpg Book Store - Intimate Friends - IMG_3901.jpg https://vedderresearchlibrary.org/book-store/p/river-of-dreams-the-story-of-the-hudson-river monthly 0.5 2025-12-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d3dc3ae9bfdfba3b1b9958/26c846fc-aab8-4d5a-8948-2184f3c3f98e/IMG_3831.jpg Book Store - River of Dreams;
