EATON — The Eaton Village Preservation Society has announced that the non-profit group has reached its $500,000 fundraising goal to purchase 116 acres on Lyman Mountain overlooking Crystal Lake and the iconic Little White Church.

The viewshed, with serves as the backdrop to countless photos of the church and lake, had been threatened by a potential logging operation, prompting the preservation society to launch its “Save the View” campaign to acquire the land.
