THE MAHOPAC STORY

This is the story of a community and some of the people who made their homes in it through the years. It is the history of two hamlets, Mahopac and Mahopac Falls. These hamlets are part of the Town of Carmel in Putnam County in the State of New York. Each has its own post office and its own fire department, but both are part of the same school district, the Mahopac Schools. So we will tell their stories together.

Many members of our community have helped with this book. Some have provided information; others have kindly lent photographs which were used as a reference for drawings. Sincere thanks are given to: Mr. and Mrs. Jesse Agor, Mrs. Carl H. Andre, Mr. Arthur Brady, Mrs. Harold Barrett, Mrs. Charles Carpenter, Mr. Joseph Carr, Mr. Halsey J. Decatur, Mrs. David Edes, Mr. & Mrs. Dennis Gansinger, Mr. Jack Gemmill, Mr. Arthur Jacobson, Miss Dorothy Jewell, Mr. & Mrs. Charles King, Rev. Earl S. McCary, Mr. William H. Spain, and to all those who offered their help in any way.
