Croton Point Park - Photos




Time, patience and switching to "G's" laptop, worked magic on uploading the photos.  What follows are a few shots of the park.

This is a very clean, well-maintained Westchester County park.  It's the only place in the entire County where you can park and hook-up an RV.  It is only half-occupied, peaceful and full of walking/hiking paths. It is rich in Native American, Revolutionary War, and War of 1812 history. The remnants of wine cellars dating back to the mid 19th century are located on the property.


Three-story barn from the 1800's

The site where the land was signed over by the Chief of the Mohigan Tribe. It felt sad to read the plaque, realizing all the beauty that was sold off to the Dutch settlers.
My long hike ended at the top of a steep hill.  This is the sign that greeted me. Very apropos.

  2. Probably only vinegar, if any remained before it was sealed up.
