Educating our future generations about Truxton’s history and John J. McGraw, Bill Swisher met with Truxton Academy Charter students to share a quick history of hometown hero John J. McGraw and the events that took place on August 8, 1938 in the town of Truxton, NY.
The 1938 New York Giants played a baseball game against the local Truxton Giants at the John J. McGraw field. After the game they were treated by the ever curteous Truxtonites to a dinner and entertainment at the Truxton Central School, now the Truxton Academy Charter School.
To commemorate the event, Bill Swisher donated a plaque which is now on display at the school which shows the New York Giants team members, three of whom became Hall of Famers, as well as a photo of the school at the time.
Here’s to keeping history in our towns and communities alive and well!
