SUMMARY:Freedomland U.S.A.
DESCRIPTION:Located in The Bronx\, Freedomland U.S.A. was celebrated as the “Disneyland of the East.”\nWhile it survived only five seasons (1960-1964)\, to this day the park generates fond memories\namong boomers who enjoyed its American history-themed attractions. \nFreedomland was conceived and built by C.V. Wood and his Marco Engineering Company.\nKnown to many as Woody\, he was Disneyland’s first employee and he brought Walt Disney’s\nimagination to life by leading the team that built that park. He then created Marco Engineering to\nbuild theme parks and other venues across the country. Six Flags Over Texas in Arlington and\nthe community of Lake Havasu\, Arizona\, continue to prosper. The northeast Bronx marshland\nthat featured Freedomland U.S.A. eventually became a housing development and a shopping\ncenter. \nUnknown to Woody and the general public that adored Freedomland during the early 1960s\,\nlandowner William Zeckendorf\, Sr.\, local politicians\, city planners and construction unions\nconsidered the park a “placeholder” until property variances permitted significant development\non the marshland. The variances provided the green light for the construction of the largest\ncooperative housing community in the world. A shopping center was added about a decade later\nand an indoor mall was constructed on the remaining undeveloped land during 2012.\n“Co-op City was on New York City’s blueprints before the first shovel of dirt was turned to\nbuild the park\,” said Virgintino. “Freedomland U.S.A. was doomed to fail before the first guest\nentered the park. As everyone was hailing this great achievement in The Bronx on its opening\nday\, Woody already was concentrating on his Texas park and other projects. Other people\,\nincluding William Zeckendorf\, Sr.\, operated Freedomland U.S.A. and they kept it afloat\, or ran it\ninto the ground\, depending on one’s perspective. The park survived until the land variances\ncould be applied to the property. Then\, Freedomland U.S.A. was declared a bankrupt and the\nland was cleared for development.” \nMichael R. Virgintino \nMike Virgintino is a journalist and marketing communications executive for corporations and\nnonprofits (including historic sites/organizations) who began his career in the newsrooms of New\nYork City area radio stations. He also is an historian and a recognized expert about Freedomland\nU.S.A.\, a 1960s American history theme park located in The Bronx. He has authored\nFreedomland U.S.A.: The Definitive History and Freedomland U.S.A.: More Definitive History\npublished by Theme Park Press and available on Amazon\, Barnes & Noble and other online\nretailers.

SUMMARY:Who was Jonas Bronck?
DESCRIPTION:We can all thank Jonas Bronck for providing the name for our favorite borough.  But who was he and why was he important?  Brian Andersson of the Kingsbridge Historical Society has traveled far and wide to find the answers.  Join us for a special presentation on Jonas Bronck at Edgehill on Thursday October 24th at 7:00 PM. \nBrian Andersson is a long-time board member of the Kingsbridge Historical Society\, the former Commissioner of New York City’s Department of Records\, and a founding director of the Jonas Bronck Center in Savsjo\, Sweden.  2024 marks the 385th anniversary of the settlement of The Bronx by Jonas Jonasson Bronck of Sweden. \n

SUMMARY:Kingsbridge and Spuyten Duyvil in the 1950s (at RSS Center for Ageless Living)
DESCRIPTION:We found a mysterious object deep in the archives of the Kingsbridge Historical Society–an old-looking unlabeled canister of 8mm film.  We were excited to see that the film depicted events in Kingsbridge in the early 1950s in color!  These events were clearly important to local people at the time but it was unclear to us what was going on in the scenes.  Only by referencing back issues of the Riverdale Press could we figure out what was happening.  Join us at the RSS Center for Ageless Living for a special viewing of rare footage of Kingsbridge and Spuyten Duyvil in the 1950s.  Kingsbridge Historical Society president\, Nick Dembowski\, will use the 1950s Riverdale Press to explain the scenes and explore the mindset of a tightly-knit community\, which was uneasy about developments\, both at home and abroad. \nPlease note that this event will be held at RSS (the RSS Center for Ageless Living) at 2600 Netherland Avenue beginning at 5:00 PM on Wednesday\, October 9th.

SUMMARY:The Villa Rosa Bonheur and the Fight to Save It
DESCRIPTION:In 2017\, the beloved neighborhood landmark Villa Rosa Bonheur was bought by investors.  Two years later\, because of “as-of-right” real estate laws\, this architectural gem was reduced to a pile of rubble and carted away.  This presentation outlines the community efforts to try to save her\, and when that failed\, the co-naming of her location where she once stood as “Villa Rosa Bonheur John J McKelvey Sr. Way” as a way of memorializing her former presence in our community. \nStephanie Coggins arrived in the Bronx a few weeks after her 18th birthday to attend Fordham University\, in 1979.  Now 45 years later\, Stephanie is a hard-core Bronxite\, having lived in Belmont\, Bedford Park\, and now Spuyten Duyvil. (including a two-year stint in an apartment over the Fordham Road White Castle parking lot!)  Arriving in Spuyten Duyvil in 2015\, she became enraptured with the green space and architecture of this unique neighborhood. Inspired by the tragic loss of Villa Rosa Bonheur\, she became involved in community activism related to that loss.  Due to her efforts\, in 2022 the intersection of Palisade Avenue and Bradley Terrace step street was legally co-named “Villa Rosa Bonheur – John J. McKelvey Sr Way”\,  to memorialize the loss of VRB to development.  Her current activities include administration of two Facebook Groups based on local community issues\, and memberships in Plant Native NW Bronx\, and the Kingsbridge Historical Society.  Stephanie is the current gardener at Edgehill\, adding native and pollinator plants to it raised beds to enhance this historic landmark.
