Show Notes
The towering silos on Lower Main Street in Callicoon, NY, have long been an emblem of the town’s history, since the 1930s. However, with the passing of time, their age is becoming more evident, and there’s an effort underway to ensure these structures are preserved for future generations.
The ENGN Civic Creative Center, located right next door to the silos, has launched a fundraising initiative aimed at safeguarding these iconic landmarks that have become a cornerstone of the community.
They’re hosting a Brunch, Raffle, and Silent Auction on Sunday, April 13, at Callicoon Brewery.
Farm and Country’s Rosie Starr traveled to Callicoon and spoke to Caroline Prezosi and Isaac Diebboll, members of the ENGN team, about the importance of maintaining the silos as more than just a historical structure, but as a symbol of Callicoon’s identity.
