In October of this year, the Croton Free Library and Croton Friends of History will host a presentation of lost New York City amusement parks from authors and educators Barbara and Wesley Gottlock (see www.crotonfriendsofhistory.org)

And remember Freedomland in the Bronx? Freedomland was a U.S. history-themed amusement park in the
Baychester area of the borough of The Bronx, New York City; it opened in 1960 and closed in 1964. Click on the link to see a great old photo courtesy of
