Eaton Town Column: Welcome back to Little White Church

A huge welcome back to our beautiful Little White Church. On July 24, about 60 people gathered in our favorite landmark to celebrate our outstanding new steeple and the newly restored Steinway piano. Two women from the N.H. Preservation Alliance spoke to us all about the work that has been done in our church, and presented a plaque to Selectman, Joyce Blue, and pianist Dana Cunningham. Huge kudos to premier carpenter, Thomas Costello, and his team for rebuilding our lovely steeple, whose bell was rung in December 2020, after the steeple was taken down due to deterioration in June 2019. Everyone in Eaton is so proud of the work.

Afterward, Cunningham sat down at our gorgeously restored piano and started to play. Well, I can tell you that the notes resounded all through the church to dazzle us all and show us what has been missing. Just sitting in the pews, looking at the perfect day outside our wavy windows, taking in the new paint, the new stage floor, and listening to that sound, was absolutely amazing.
