The goal of this Darrtown.com website is to collect and preserve Darrtown-related history.
In our well-intentioned quest to meet our website goal, we gather the physical artifacts (newspaper accounts, diaries, journals photographs, etc.), along with oral stories and present the findings, as accurately as possible.
Some of the information is contradictory and/or incomplete; such is the lot of those who attempt to capture history. We gather as many pieces of the puzzle as we can; position them to the best of our ability; and with good fortune, a more accurate picture of the past gradually emerges.
