Eatons Corners Historic District is a grouping of three architecturally distinguished properties which are the only intact, surviving remains of the early nineteenth century crossroads hamlet of Eatons Corners. The district of approximately 5 acres includes the entire lots of two homes; the Barlow Tavern circa 1820s and the Brumley Homestead circa 1840s, and a portion of the the Eaton Homestead circa 1800. Eatons Corners is the only small, family controlled hamlet in the town of Duanesburg to retain its integrity of design, setting, feeling and association.

James Eaton received a lease for farm lot 263 from James Duane in 1785. Eaton was a gentleman farmer of considerable wealth and pretension as can be seen from the elegance and sophistication of the Eaton Homestead, a distinctive example of Federal style architecture.
