Welcome to The New Everything Croton, a collection of all things Croton--our history, our homes, our issues, our businesses, our schools--in short, EVERYTHING CROTON.
THE CROTON HISTORICAL SOCIETY FACEBOOK PAGE REMINDS US THAT Inez Milholland lived in the house on Alexander Lane that was built as the administration building for opera diva Lillian Nordica’s planned opera house and school. Milholland moved there in 1913, after her marriage to wealthy coffee importer, Eugene Boissevain. She died just three years later in California at the age of 30, her husband at her side.
In 1923 Eugene Boissevain married poet Edna St. Vincent Millay in Croton, at a private ceremony in the garden at the home of artist Boardman Robinson on Mt. Airy Road South.
