Image Addition

edit

Added 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)Reply

I 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)Reply

Incorporate directions to get to sites

edit

I 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]
