Croton Point’s Forgotten Community
Every summer from 1926 until 1964, the Croton Point Park Association took up residence in their bungalow colony at Croton Point Park. They had a baseball team, a community center, weekly dances, a flourishing newspaper – until they were evicted. We wonder how this group lived, what life was like, and what happened after their houses were torn down. A lecture with slides and archival media taking place in the Nature Center
