evolution from agriculture and industry to subdivisions and recreation, presented here in vivid
historical photographs, will fascinate longtime residents, newcomers, and visitors alike. Vernon Township reveals a rare glimpse of the
community in its early days. ÝÝFrom Ice Age mastodons to Colonial

past includes antique images of homes, farms, stores, taverns, businesses, schools, churches, and industries. Also depicted are the evolution of local transportation from horse to train to automobile, notable past residents, and the growth of
