Croton Point’s Lost Colony

Every summer from 1926 until 1964, the Croton Point Park Association took up residence in their bungalow colony at Croton Point. They had a baseball team, a community center, weekly dances, a flourishing newspaper—until the county quietly evicted them. We wonder how this group lived, what life was like, and what happened after their houses were torn down. Join Jean Klurfeld, Assistant Curator of the Croton Point Nature Center, to answer these questions and uncover their forgotten history.

Croton Friends of History is dedicated to preserving and promoting the history of Croton-on-Hudson and the Hudson Valley. See our upcoming events on our website.
