Croton Point Park’s Forgotten Community: The Bungalow Colony
October 17 at 2:00 pm - 3:30 pm
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. We will look into how this group lived, what life was like, and what happened after their houses were torn down. A lecture with slides, archival media, and a Q+A afterwards, taking place in the Nature Center.
