In September 1960, demolition began on Croton’s waterfront business district to construct Route 9. Riverside Avenue, from its intersection with Maple Street up to Farrington Road, was rerouted and most of the old buildings demolished. By the time the project was completed, portions of residential streets from Benedict Boulevard in Harmon up to Wolf Road were also eliminated, along with the beautiful Beaux Arts–style bridge across the mouth of the Croton River.
Village Historian Marc Cheshire will recount the upheaval and loss resulting from this seminal event in Croton’s history. Pre-registration is not required.
