  • Present home of the Great Hudson River Revival environmental and music festival, every year on Father's Day weekend, organized by Clearwater.
  • I remember Croton Point Park in the mid 70's. I went camping at both the Girl scout, and Boy scout camps on the point. I belonged to a camping organization The National campers and hikers association (N.C.H.A.). I loved going to the cabin at the point where I would climb down to get to the water and walk along the shoreline picking up natural clay. I would look out at Sing Sing prison at night while toasting marshmallows. (Ossining's original name, "Sing Sing", was named after the Native American Sinck Sinck tribe from whom the land was purchased in 1685.) I would love to be able to go back in time to those simple years before I had to get a job, and pay bills.
