Croton Point Nature & History Hike
Village of Croton Historian Marc Cheshire and Jean Klurfeld, Assistant Curator of the Croton Point Nature Center, will lead a special “ghosts & pirates” hike on Saturday, October 31, at 9 a.m. to explore Croton Point’s fascinating history—particularly the legends about Money Island, the place where Captain Kidd was said to have buried treasure. The hike will last roughly 1.5 to 2 hours. This event is free. Meet at the gate to the RV park, where parking is available. Ages 6 and up; wear sturdy shoes.
