Photos by Fay
Fay (Dees) O'Brien lived in Darrtown during the late 1940s and early 1950s, when her parents operated a convenience store that was located on the east side of main street, opposite Glardon's Grocery - which became Don's Carry-out.
Fay traveled from her California home to Darrtown for the September 26, 2009 Darrtown Gathering at the Hitching Post tavern. Upon returning to the west coast, Fay mailed the following images to the webmaster.
