Readers will learn how the local St. John's Anglican Church welcomed its first worshippers when Beethoven was still performing in the concert halls of Europe. They will meet Cornelius van Nostrand, born in 1730-twenty-six years before Mozart and eleven years before the first performance of Handel's Messiah-and now at rest in St. John's churchyard. This rich history also includes such diverse figures as Amelia Earhart-who discovered her love of flying at an aerodrome overlooking Hogg's Hollow-and Northern Dancer, the most influential Thoroughbred racehorse in history. Members of the British Royal Family-including two Kings of England-were also regular visitors to the area, staying in later years with E.P. Taylor and his wife Winifred at the Taylors' Windfields Farm, where Northern Dancer was also a resident.
