The story
from WikipediaRead it all ↗The village of Bolton was formed from part of the town of Thurman in 1799. Bolton lost some of its territory as three new towns were created in the county.
This village is named after Robert “Bob” Bolton, who moved there in 1788 with his wife Margaret.
The Cadet was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2002. The Gates Homestead was added in 2010.
