As shown on the right, one of the biggest events in Rivertown's history was the day Teddy Roosevelt came to town to give a speech while running for President. A special platform was built for this event. Mayor Amos Biltmore, sitting on the platform behind the candidate, served as host for the occasion. The Mayor was remembered best for having spilled hot coffee on Roosevelt after the speech, and then disappearing from the post-speech festivities. Biltmore was never elected to local office again.

This is a view of the railroad station tower looking north up River Street from about 1903. The houses in the foreground have been taken down, and the Rivertown Products building, not seen in this photo, is to the right side. The tree-lined street was primarily residential in character.
