Memorial Day...

Village of Elbridge, May 2009.

Don't forget both vilalges have a Memorial Day Parade.

Elbridge in the morning and Jordan in the afternoon.

Did you know?

The Village of Jordan is celebrating the 175th year of existence! Maybe we'll get some historical information from jack Horner, Village Historian.

Jack, are you out there somewhere?

Spring is in the air......

Flowers are popping up, skunk is in the air, the blue birds & robins are back and the winter jackets can almost be packed away.

This little guy is out of hibernation.

Old Jordan School

Are these photos of the same school?

On the right is the old Jordan School after it was burned. The view is from Lawrence Street.
Does anyone know what year it burned?

Dave V. emailed the photo showing the school after the fire. Dave added that in the background, to the right is the roof of our (Vrooman's) barn with the cupola on top.

Before I forget to post.....

This Jordan Crock sold at public auction for $7,935 at Crockerfarm Auction in Maryland (March 20009).

It is called a JORDAN, NY Stoneware Jug w/ Cobalt Bird in Wreath.

Pretty neat that Jordan created such lovely and valuable stoneware.

Answers to some questions here.

The Pizza Sam's building;
It's my understanding that it is still for sale. Not sure why it is being left to fall apart.
The same person that had it as Pizza Sam's still owns it.

Someone suggested handing out flyer's advertising this blog page. Great idea. I've made the flyer's up and will start getting them out and around.

Dave V. has emailed more photos which I will get posted this week some time.
