The Colonel Peter Vroman house of Schoharie, New York reflects the history of its times – from the Mohawk Iroquois who first inhabited the land to Dutch slaveholders, from the Revolutionary War patriot Colonel Peter Vroman to millers establishing saw and grain mills, from an enterprising widow building an antiques business to a folk artist creating the on-site Easter Egg Museum, each lends a voice for telling the story of this house and of this country. Learn about shoes hidden in walls, mysterious markings in the cellar, an unrequited love-triangle, and even murder. Follow the growth of the country through the changes to the house, both inside and outside, through numerous maps and photographs.  See the house from cellar to attic and learn how it has changed. Enjoy this beautifully illustrated, well-researched book about this historic house and gain insight into living with history. 3
