Image Addition
editAdded an image of the sign at the entry point for the French Hill parcel. Perhaps I will go up to the Indian Hill parcel and snap some photos of that park. Alan Kroeger (talk) 19:28, 5 July 2008 (UTC)
History Workspace
editI will add this section later but want to work it out here
French Hill parcel owned previously by William Delavan Baldwin a portion of which was donated to the state of New York in order to build the Taconic State Parkway. William Delavan Baldwin was a one time chair of the Otis Elevator company
The inscription on the plaque reads:
French Hill Farm
An Estate of 550 acres assembled by William Delavan Baldwin
First President of Westchester County Park Commission.
Established 1922
The heights east of this spot were occupied by the French army
under Rochambeau during the American Revolution.
Mr. Baldwin donated more than 25 acres of this farm including this site
to the State of New York in 1928 for the Bronx River Parkway extension
build under the direction of the Westchester Park Commission.
==Will complete this as time allows, hopefully sooner, and add it to the full article when it seems reasonably complete. Alan Kroeger (talk) 15:49, 6 July 2008 (UTC)
Incorporate directions to get to sites
editI really don't know the best way to incorporate the way to access the parks into the main copy since most parks don't have proper address and these are particularly hard to find. I will leave it up to another user:
- To access the Indian Hill parcel, drive on Indian Hill Road until you reach the parking lot. To access the French Hill parcel, drive to the end of Old Baldwin Road.[1]
