Bell Middle School is the Centerpiece of Downtown Chappaqua
The site of the October 5th Chappaqua Children’s Book Festival is the centerpiece of downtown Chappaqua. Bell Middle School has a bit of an Ivy League feel (some have said Hogwarts-esque). It will be gorgeous on a beautiful fall day, surrounded by big oaks with kids dashing between author tables and families picnicking on the grass. Right across the street is the town gazebo where we’ll be featuring entertainment late in the afternoon. Be sure your calendars are marked!

2013 Exhibit Opening Reception New Castle’s Beginnings – Our Founding Farms
The new exhibit traces our town’s origins from Native American lands through the farms of the nineteenth century, to the estates and housing developments that turned New Castle into the community we know today. A focus on several local farms and their products will be featured – Sutton Farm, Dodges Farm, Brann Farm, Taylor and Annadale Farms, and of course the Greeley Farm.
The first farms of New Castle were established on large tracts of land purchased from the Native American trible of the Mohegan Confederation, inclusing the Sintsincks. Even our hamlet’s name, Chappaqa, has Native American roots. The area was called Shepequa, which referred to the abundant water sources that made farming possible. Many other Native American words have been retained in the names of our streets and landmarks.
There will be interactive aspects to this exhibit plus a seminar series featuring speakers from local farms operating today.
A public opening reception will be held on Sunday, March 3rd from 3:00-5:00 pm.
The exhibit will run through the year at the Greeley House, 100 King St, Chappaqua NY. The hours are Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays & Saturdays 1:00-4:00 pm or by appointment 914 238-4666 For more information visit their web site: www.newcastlehs.org
