Croton Point’s Forgotten Community, 1 p.m. - 2:30 p.m.
Every summer from 1926 until 1964, the Croton Point Park Association took up residence in its bungalow colony at Croton Point Park. They had a baseball team, a community center, weekly dances and a flourishing newspaper—until they were evicted. Enjoy a lecture with slides and archival media in the Nature Center to find out how this group lived, what life was like and what happened after their houses were torn down. Free. Also: Feb. 21.
