Three Views of Copake in our last issue
It was interesting to see the three views of Copake in your last issue. The General Store was built by my great grandfather, Grant D. Langdon in 1890 after he old store that had been moved from up main street burned. That building was the Methodist Church before it was moved to the corner. An account of the fire is in my book Scandal in the Courtroom.The building where the Drug store is was the livery for Miller House, which was owned by my great grandfather at one time too. His grandfather, John Langdon was Supervisor and had a town office in the building. My second book is now available and also includes some local history. It is Rebels of the North, How Land Policy Caused the Civil War. Both books are available at my web site, www.grantlangdon.com.
