Craven’s multimedia program on the history of the mouth of the Croton River will encompass the major historical and ecological themes of Croton Point.

Craven will take visitors from Croton Point’s glacial origins and original inhabitants to brick-making and the railroads, to its notoriety as a landfill and its use now as a beautiful park.

Refreshments will be served. There is no charge, but space should be reserved by calling the Historical Society at 914-941-4393 or emailing mail@briarcliffhistory.org.

The library is at 1 Library Road, in Briarcliff Manor.
