The People of Georgetown: Craig Abrahamson

(Editor’s note: This is the first of a three-part series on The People of Georgetown. In honor of the town’s 150 years since incorporation, the Courant will profile three lifelong Georgetown residents to explore the town and its history through their eyes.)

Craig Abrahamson lives three blocks from his childhood home on Taos Street, where he would ride his bike to and from City Park.

Now, Craig, who has three children of his own, can walk to his civil engineering office on Sixth Street. Even while he’s changed over the past 51 years, Georgetown has stayed relatively the same.

“People are attracted here for a reason, even if they can’t always articulate what it is,” he said. “… People work hard to live here — there’s something about it that they cherish.”

Giving Back
Over the years, the Abrahamsons have served on and volunteered for organizations around the county, including with Georgetown Community School, which their three children attended. Craig also served as the town’s police judge at one point.

Being an active part of the community is important, they said, to develop personal connections and deeper relationships with their neighbors and friends, as well as creating a vibrant place to live.

“You don’t just get to live in a small town because nobody survives if everyone just lives there,” Craig said. “You have to give back.”
