SUMMARY:Kingsbridge Remembers the American Revolution - Exhibit Open Hours
DESCRIPTION:1775 Marks the 250th anniversary of the start of the most dramatic 8 years in the history of Riverdale\, Kingsbridge\, Spuyten Duyvil\, Marble Hill and Inwood.  George Washington\, French nobility\, enslaved people\, a Lenape Chief\, common farmers\, and many more shaped the history of our nation right here.  The Bronx streets of today were once a battlefield\, but also the homeland of local residents who faced difficult choices and nearly impossible circumstances. \nKingsbridge Remembers the American Revolution is an exhibit and series of public programs that will shed light on local events of the Revolution and place them in a larger context.  The exhibit features original period artifacts\, artwork\, maps\, digital displays\, and interpretive panels that will bring that period to life.  It will change the way you look at the neighborhood and reveal its amazing past. \nArtifacts from the archives of local institutions are pulled together for the first time–some of which have never been displayed before.  Rarely seen commemorative artwork from the bicentennial compliments newly commissioned artwork by award-winning historical illustrator (and Bronx resident) Gary Zaboly.  Interpretive panels featuring new research and findings tell an inclusive story about the people\, places\, and events that made Kingsbridge important during the Revolution.  A digital interactive map display helps make sense of the area’s geographic importance.  A translated guide to the exhibit will be available in Spanish. \nThe exhibit opens June 8\, 2025 and remains open every Sunday\, Monday\, and Tuesday in June thereafter from 11:00 AM to 4:00 PM.  Evening open hours and summer hours will be announced later in June. \nThis program is supported\, in part\, by public funds from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs in partnership with the City Council. \nThe Kingsbridge Historical Society’s programs are made possible by the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of the Office of the Governor and the New York State Legislature.

SUMMARY:Picturing the Past: A Conversation with Bronx Artist Gary Zaboly
DESCRIPTION:This year the Kingsbridge Historical Society has been thrilled to work with Bronx artist/illustrator Gary Zaboly to craft depictions of people and places in our neighborhood during the American Revolution for our “Kingsbridge Remembers” exhibit.  We have been mining historical maps and records to imagine scenes that have never been depicted before: \nThe local militia company mustered in Kingsbridge in August of 1775. Pen and Ink\, Gary Zaboly\, 2025.\nJoin us for a conversation about this project with Gary Zaboly at the Kingsbridge Historical Society on Thursday\, June 12th at 7 PM.  This event will be held in person but also live-streamed over Zoom (check back here for Zoom details). \nZoom Link: https://us06web.zoom.us/j/86573517661\nBronx artist\, Gary Zaboly\, and Kingsbridge Historical Society President\, Nick Dembowski\, will discuss the process of creating accurate depictions of the people and landscapes of the northwest Bronx and upper Manhattan during the Revolution. Gary Zaboly will talk about the complexities of imagining a landscape obscured by hundreds of years of change and urbanization. These pictures say a lot more than 1\,000 words! \nGary Zaboly\nGary Zaboly was born and raised in New York City and lives in Spuyten Duyvil.  He is an award-winning author\, artist\, and illustrator.  His work has been featured/exhibited in countless publications and places including The Alamo\, the Fort Ticonderoga Museum\, the Custer Battlefield Museum\, and in the collections of Texas Congressman Charlie Wilson and the singer\, Phil Collins! \nThis program is supported\, in part\, by public funds from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs in partnership with the City Council. \nThe Kingsbridge Historical Society’s programs are made possible by the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of the Office of the Governor and the New York State Legislature.

SUMMARY:The Dyckman Oval: How the Kingsbridge Athletics built a ballpark that changed baseball history
DESCRIPTION:Dyckman Oval: How the Kingsbridge athletics built a ballpark that changed baseball history – A presentation by Don Rice (in person AND on Zoom) \nAt the dawn of the 1900s a brand new subway snaked its way north to 242nd Street\, far from downtown’s crowded world. Almost overnight\, North Manhattan and the NW Bronx became a haven for NYC’s weekend sports enthusiasts. Baseball diamonds sprang up\, and semipro teams established home fields along the newly opened subway route. In 1917 the semipro Kingsbridge Athletics leased some land in Inwood\, just a few blocks south of their home turf. They built bleachers and christened the ballpark the Dyckman Oval. Over the years Dyckman Oval hosted dozens of future Hall-of-Famers\, peaking in the 1930s when the New York Cubans battled the Pittsburg Crawfords for two games of the 1935 Negro National League World Series. At the presentation we’ll talk about the teams\, the players and the stories of this celebrated yet largely forgotten ballpark and see rare photos from the era. \n\nThursday April 10\, 2025 at 7 PM at Edgehill (2570 Independence Ave\, Bronx).  Join us there in person or on Zoom at: https://us06web.zoom.us/j/89121030415\nThe Kingsbridge Historical Society’s programs are made possible by the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of the Office of the Governor and the New York State Legislature.

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: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.

SUMMARY:Neighborhood Panoramas: An Art and Photo Exhibit at Edgehill
DESCRIPTION:The Kingsbridge Historical Society’s archive includes early panoramic photos of the neighborhood that have not seen the light of day in decades. Come see these rarely seen gems at our first exhibit at our new headquarters\, Edgehill. \nThe photos depict scenes from Riverdale\, Kingsbridge\, Spuyten Duyvil\, Marble Hill\, and Inwood around the turn of the 20th century. You will be amazed by the neighborhood’s appearance when there was hardly an apartment building in sight.
