Her hardest hue to hold.
Her early leaf’s a flower;
But only so an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf,
So Eden sank to grief,
So dawn goes down to day
Nothing gold can stay.
– Robert Frost
Memories are part of our personal history. Our experiences of a special person, a place, a time, or an event forever recorded in our minds. They may be passed down through the generations or lost completely when our time on Earth is done. Memories of a beloved hometown can be especially vivid and comforting . We invite you to share your personal memories of Eliot. It doesn’t matter if you have lived here 8 months or 80 years, or if you haven’t lived here for quite some time.
