Hi Ron,
If you visit the link above, it will take you to a website that has a photo of the Old Methodist Church that used to sit on Route 9 in Valcour. No such luck finding images of the Valcour stone schoolhouse, however. Will keep searching!
Best, Heather

Ron responded: Re; origin of name of Valcour—no one is really sure of the origin. One of the most prevalent theories, however, is that it was derived from a french word, possibly “valeure”.

These two ladies are to be commended for giving so generously of their time and wonderful talent. I took my almost two year old grandson to the Jan 14th story hour for the first time and was in awe of the skill these two retired teachers displayed as they varied the age-appropriate activities and maintained the attention of approximately thirty preschool children for an hour. Thank you, Miss Dominy and Mrs. Sabourin.

Comment on Peru Hardware has been at the center of Peru for 60+ years by Steve Brown

Very nice article. Growing up, I spent many hours in the store looking in every nook and cranny until either my grandfather or grandmother (Percy and Lula) would shoo me on home.

Well done.
