Book excerpt: Take a fascinating journey through the history of Eden, New York with more than 200 vintage photographs and anecdotes from the locals who experienced it. From its inception, Eden has been a beautiful place to call home. For generations, the fertile soils of Eden have yielded outstanding fresh produce, feeding countless individuals locally and in other states. Before the days of easy travel between places, Eden had thriving retail, commercial, and industrial areas. One business still produces that unique musical instrument, the kazoo, and thanks to inventors from Eden, tractors ride more comfortably and train travel is safer. The town produced a handful of poets, a well-known artist, a concert pianist, five state assemblymen, a state senator, and a chief judge of the State of New York Court of Appeals. Author Susan Minekime serves as one of Eden's town historians and is the former director of the Eden Library. Images of America: Eden contains 200 years of photos that have been generously contributed by local residents in order to chronicle the town's rich history.
