I drew the above pen and ink sketch some 20 years ago, when Mr. Chamberlain of Hamilton Square let me borrow the photo from which this sketch was rendered. Back in the 19th century, the building occupied by today's "Cookie Cottage" was the general store of Hooper, Chamberlain and McCabe. The store was the main source of groceries and farm supplies to the residents of the town of Hamilton Square, and the many farmers in the area.
