MORE ON THE FORMER DANISH HOME---NOW THE GURDJIEFF FOUNDATION OF NY--RIVER JOURNAL

Welcome to Everything Croton, a collection of all things Croton--our history, our homes, our issues, our businesses, our schools, our houses or worship--in short, EVERYTHING CROTON.

A steep, narrow road winds uphill from Quaker Bridge Road in Cortlandt to a century-old estate modeled after a quaint European farmstead.

A towering archway opens onto a cobblestone courtyard surrounded by a stone- and wood-framed stable capped with a clay tile roof built for J.M. Kaplan, who owned Welch’s Grape Juice and later became a prominent philanthropist.

The 48-acre property, in the Teatown area near the Croton-on-Hudson border, is entering a new chapter this summer, after the Danish Home for the Aged sold the estate to the Gurdjieff Foundation of New York in 2023.

TWO WATCH PARTIES IN ONE WEEK

Croton has the best watch parties---from President Trump's Bombshell Revelations to the final Spain-Argentina FIFA romp, it was a whirlwind of a week----yes, some serious stuff, some fun stuff too, and always good food.  The traditional art of hospitality that many of us remember from our youth, is still alive and well.

Shoprite and Apple helped to keep the charcuterie boards on budget---and Capriccio's provided the best Grandma Pizza....

Then there were the goodies in honor of Argentina and Spain--here are some of the appetizer recipes we sampled:
