Eminence Walk-About Aug 3

EMINENCE — Eminence was once a thriving hamlet, uniquely split among the towns of Summit, Jefferson, and Blenheim, and closely bordering Fulton. According to the 1872-73 Schoharie County Directory, Eminence boasted two churches, a hotel, two stores, a wagon shop, a blacksmith shop, a shoe shop, a milliner, a dressmaker’s shop, and about 20 dwellings.

Though part of Eminence lies within the town of Jefferson, its history has seldom been highlighted by the Jefferson Historical Society. To help change that, we invite you to join an Eminence Walk-About on August 3 at 3:00 p.m., led by Summit Town Historian Karen Cuccinello.

We'll meet by the Eminence Walled Cemetery, located between 109 and 135 Rossman Hill Road, just north of its intersection with Eminence Road. This event is free and open to the public.
