PRESIDENT’s Welcome

As we move into our first publication featuring Chamber of Commerce members, local business, and Ossining history we are proud of our accomplishments and excited about the possibilities to come. We encourage you to experience Ossining through the eyes of our residents, business owners, artists, and historians to develop a true perspective of our wonderful Town and Village. It is our hope this guide will be used as a roadmap to experience the best of Greater Ossining and raise curiosity about what it is like to live, eat, shop, and visit Ossining-on-the-Hudson and the surrounding area.

We encourage you to take the Museum-in-the-Streets tour, experience the Arts and green spaces, attend our June-Village Fair, explore our wonderful restaurants + shops along North State Road, Croton Avenue, Pleasantville and Camp Woods Roads, Main Street, and North to South Highland Avenue. Come to the Ossining RiverJam summer concerts, First Fridays Community Crawl, Fall Spooktacular, Holiday Lights Trolley Tour, and Up-the-River Blues Festival; which is the First Ossining Blues Festival since BB King played Sing-Sing in ‘72!

Visit the new Greater Ossining Chamber of Commerce website at www.greaterossiningchamber.org for information about ongoing events and business opportunities.

A little bit about our Chamber and in addition to our ongoing work…the Greater Ossining business community is chock full of cultural diversity and experiences that have prompted the Chamber and our partners to launch new business coalitions such as BAC PACK-Black, African American + Caribbean business group and the LBC-Latino Business Coalition. Our Health + Holistic Coalition has garnered interest from holistic practitioners, chefs, and fitness experts alike. The Youth Business Coalition is beginning conversation in the areas of financial literacy and young entrepreneurship.

These groups are emboldened by the participation and engagement from those with similar interests and a curiosity for creative enterprise. The Chamber wholeheartedly supports their efforts and continues to seek resources and partnerships to support their ongoing work. Additionally, we are grateful to our supporters and sponsors that helped make this wonderful guide a reality. You are now a “forever” part of history and the inaugural Greater Ossining Chamber Directory and Visitors Guide.

We are a reflection of our community…In addition to our veterans, we welcome new Board members that bring an added perspective and influence our community work, business coalitions, partnerships, and local tourism. You are a representation of the diversity and goodness of Greater Ossining and embody what working together can do for our business community. In business since 1945, it has been our goal to operate “in the best interest of Ossining and the surrounding area” as we strive to be inclusive, offer support to our members, interested businesses, non-profit organizations, and partners while upholding the spirit and intent of the Chamber.

In celebration of our work and community partners, the Chamber of Commerce is thrilled to launch this dynamic publication both in copy and digital formats featuring pictures and stories capturing Greater Ossining in action. Next level excitement would be the all-out engagement and interaction of our constituents to bring this guide to life, patronize our businesses, attend events, support the Arts, and enjoy Greater Ossining as much as we do.

RIVER JAM CONCERT SERIES

spend your time in oSSINING

OSSINING, NY: During the summer, the Ossining waterfront is the place to be. With Independence Day fireworks, the advent of new First Fridays programming, and its popular Summer Concert Series and Food Truck Fridays at Louis Engel Waterfront Park.

We are excited about our popular Ossining RiverJam Concert Series. Everyone knows what a great vibe this event has. Attendees enjoy diverse bands and genres, experience a great variety of food, and stay for the friends and the incredible sunsets! Ossining is the place to be!

Ossining RiverJam takes place every Friday evening during the summer. The festivities kick off with a spectacular Independence Day fireworks show and a festive set by a premiere band. All are encouraged to bring your dancing shoes! In the case of rain on a Friday evening, the event typically shifts to Sunday.

Food trucks and craft beverages from local purveyors complete the scene at Louis Engel Park, enabling concertgoers to make a night of it. Food and drinks begin at 5 p.m. so patrons can get their dinner and settle in for a picnic before live music starts at 7 p.m. Local eateries also take orders and make deliveries to a special table in the food truck area, expanding the dinner options available to RiverJam attendees.

“Our Friday Night RiverJam and Food Truck series has become a great attraction for Hudson River towns and beyond. We have concertgoers coming from as far as NYC to the south and Beacon to the north,” said Gayle Marchica, president of the Greater Ossining Chamber of Commerce. “We are right on the Metro North Hudson line, and Louis Engel Park and the Riverfront are steps from the train. This is one of the best Hudson River concert series around.”

Ossining has also had another exciting Friday focus — Ossining’s First Fridays Community Crawl, a new monthly event born of a collaboration between the Greater Ossining Chamber of Commerce and ENU Builds, a local community organization. First Fridays highlights local restaurants, shops and other businesses along with performances and exhibitions by local artists in a variety of media.

“It’s really been a fantastic, homegrown, organic collaboration between us and the community,” Marchica said. “There is so much here in Ossining to enjoy — we are bringing it all together and sharing it out to the world.”

Locals and visitors can optimize their First Fridays Community Crawl experience with Otocast, a popular tour guide app created by Ossining resident Eric Feinstein. One can load the Community Crawl on Otocast to follow a map highlighting the stops from start to finish.

You can also use the new Gatherboard-powered site OssiningEvents.com for a comprehensive listing of events in and around Greater Ossining.

“With our new Gatherboard solution, it’ll be easier than ever to keep track of all the wonderful happenings in Ossining,” said Jermain Smith, founder of ENU Builds and the driving force behind establishing the Gatherboard for listing Ossining events. “We are so grateful to the Greater Ossining Chamber of Commerce for sponsoring our use of this tool.”

To get all of the details and stay up to date, be sure to bookmark OssiningEvents.com or download the Gatherboard app for your Android or iPhone.

MUSEUM IN THE STREETS

welcome to historic oSSINING

The Village of Ossining can trace its beginnings to 1685, when the Sint Sinck Indians sold their land along the east side of the Hudson River of Frederick Philipse, who established a large manor. After the Revolution, the lands were confiscated from his grandson, a British loyalist, and sold to patriotic tenant farmers who had worked the land for years.

The community prospered as a port, with most of its settlement on the riverfront. On April 2, 1813, Sing Sing became the first incorporated village in Westchester County. In 1825, the Village was chosen as the site of the Mount Pleasant State Prison, due to its proximity to New York City (prisoners were sent “up the river”) and large quantity of white limestone. This stone became known as Sing Sing Marble, and was used for buildings, walls and other products. In 1851, the State gave the prison the same name as the village; Sing Sing.

Sing Sing sat at the confluence of progress. In the 1830s, Benjamin Brandreth established his world-famous Brandreth Pill Works in Sing Sing, make it one of the first industries on the Hudson River. In 1842, the Croton Aqueduct was completed, this engineering marvel carried water from the Croton Dam to New York City and ran through the center of the Village. The unique Double Arch bridge crossing the Sing Sing Kill remains a notable landmark.

By the mid-nineteenth century, the Village’s central business district had moved from the waterfront to Main Street and Highland Avenue. A series of fires in the 1870s destroyed large areas along Main Street; brick commercial buildings replaced those lost. The Village had a flourishing manufacturing base and a bustling economy, but the arrival of the eclectric chair to the prison in 1892 brought unwanted attention. In 1901, the Village changed its name to Ossining, to separate itself from the penitentiary. In 1907, the village boundaries were expanded to include the hamlet of Sparta. Many of the late 19th and early 20th century buildings in the central business district were designed by well-known architects of that era. Today, some of them comprise the Village’s major landmarks - three bank buildings, four churches, Village and Town Hall, the academy library, and the high school.

The 1960s brought great change to Ossining. Under the banner of urban renewal, a large portion of its downtown business center was declared “blighted” and targeted for demolition. The buildings on the south side of Main Street and northern portion of Spring Street came down in the 1970s in order to make for new and more modern ones, few of which were actually built. Vestiges of Ossining’s historic viallge center center remain along the north side of Main Street and the intersection of Main Street and Croton Avenue, where our historic buildings stand as a testament to the Village’s vibrant past.

hisoric district

The Downtown Ossining Historic District and its core buildings, known as the Crescent, illustrate the peak of Victorian era commercial architecture. While dynamic and changing over the years, it maintains much of its historic character and charm with a walkable scale commonly seen in downtowns that evolved during the pre-automobile era. The vibrant downtown is still enjoyed by residents and visitors to Ossining today. Historic downtown Ossining is bisected by the Croton Aqueduct, a National Historic Landmark that modernized the New York City water supply in the 19th century.

The Museum in the Streets installation was created and organized by the Ossining Historic Preservation Commission. For further information, please visit www.villageofossining.org.

Enjoy a stroll through the Ossining Downtown Historic District!

The Museum In The Streets© is designed as a bilingual history and cultural walking tour. Spanish was chosen as the second language in recognition of the substantial population of Hispanics and Latinos who live in and visit our area.

The Village of Ossining’s Museum in the Streets© has been made possible by the Village of Ossining and in part by a grant from the National Park Service administered through the New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation. The Village of Ossining Historic Commission would like to thank the Village of Ossining Board of Trustees, the Ossining Historical Society Museum, the Village Planning Department, the Village Department of Public Works,

Corporate Council Lori Lee Dickson, and members of the Village staff and participating property owners whose support and contribution have made this project possible.

an active history has shaped the village of oSSINING

Village Historian Joyce Sharrock Cole is a lifelong resident of Ossining. Her earliest documented relative migrated to the region in 1900, when the village was known as Sing Sing.

Cole is a founding member and lead researcher of the Little Bertie County Genealogical Society, which facilitates the Ossining Public Library Genealogy Group. She has curated numerous presentations, including ones for the Ossining Public Library, The Ossining Historical Society, The Ossining Rotary Club, Park School and The Historic Hope Plantation in Bertie County North Carolina.

To give newcomers and oldtimers alike a taste of Ossining’s storied past, Cole provided an abbreviated history of the village.

To learn more Cole;s role as historian and about Ossining’s history, see www.villageofossining.org/village-historian, www.villageofossining.org/village-historian/pages/ossining-history-story-time or visit the Ossining Historical Society Museum, 196 Croton Ave., www.ohsm.org.

VISUAL / PERFORMING ARTS

Diverse Ossining arts scene

offers something for everyone

The diverse creative scene in Ossining includes a community for artists, the village’s center for arts and a collaborative theater.

Here’s a look at those three organizations and what they have in the works for the fall and beyond.

Bethany Arts Community

Executive Director Bonnie Bradley said that in September, the nonprofit will welcome 29 multidisciplinary artists in residency, and each artist will put on a free community program as part of their residency.

“We will feature several exhibits in the fall, including ‘Night Shift,’ featuring the works of Fred Schuback, which will be on display through September,” Bradley said.

IBAC will kick off a month-long celebration of the arts Saturday, Oct. 7 with Artoberfest, a family friendly day full of art activities and performances. October will also hold performances, including Riverside Haunts, an immersive theater experience by Rivers Edge.

Bethany Arts Community was founded in 2015 and first opened its doors in 2018.

“Our founder, David Lyons, had a vision to create a space where everyone has access to the arts in a safe, excepting and nurturing environment; where art is valued for its power to broaden perspectives and challenge assumptions; and the artistic process results in community engagement, a cross-cultural understanding and personal growth,” Bradley said.

Bradley said Bethany Arts Community has grown tremendously since its formation, connecting with the community and expanding community partnerships.

“We have broadened the scope of our programming, events and exhibits. We now have a robust repertoire of community events, classes and festivals,” Bradley said. “Inclusivity and accessibility are a part of our mission. These values are embedded in all of the work we do.”

Cedar Lane Arts Center

Ceramics Studio Manager Keith Gordon, said Cedar Lane Arts Center and Park offers a wide range of classes for adults and children in ceramics, painting, drawing, sculpting, pastels, calligraphy, watercolors and is steadily expanding with new media and instructors.

“We currently have nine instructors, with 20 art classes available six days per week. In addition, the ceramics studio has memberships for experienced potters and sculptors who work independently when classes are not in session. Most Sunday mornings, ceramic artists in the community can also create in the studio on a drop-in basis,” Gordon said.

Gordon has devoted much of his time over the last nine years to establishing the studio.

“With generous support from many Westchester potters, this has been a most rewarding experience. The Arts Center has developed into a dynamic, inclusive community of creative people of all ages. It has become a source of growth, community and creativity for many in the town and village of Ossining, as well as surrounding communities,” Gordon said.

Cedar Lane Arts Center and Park are on the estate of Rush Kress, built in 1923 by the owner of the Kress Stores national chain. The Arts Center uses a building constructed by the 52 Association as a rehabilitation program for World War II and Korean War veterans.

Gordon said the Ossining Town Board decided to rehabilitate the vacant building, which had been badly damaged by frozen pipes and poor surface water drainage. Work began in 2015 to completely restore the former Blueberry Pond Theater building, upgrade drainage, parking, roads and improve the land around the pond.

The Arts Center opened its doors April 21, 2017 and has held art classes continuously since, but for three months early in the COVID-19 pandemic.

“Cedar Lane has become a much loved park destination for fishing, walking, sports, gardening, nature photography, as well as artistic creativity,” Gordon said.

The Arts Center is fully accessible on ground level, nestled between a large pond and the Ossining Organic Community Garden. Its ceramics kilns and glaze lab are housed in the Kress Estate ice house that was built with foot-thick granite walls.

The park has a soccer field, volleyball, picnic pavilion and a shaded dog park. It is the largest public park in Ossining.

The Arts Center will be holding an open house from 1 to 4 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 22. All interested are invited to see the studios, learn about programs, have a creative experience and view a faculty-student art exhibition.

For more information, see www.villageofossining.org/recreation-and-parks-department/pages/cedar-lane-arts-center.

Westchester Collaborative Theater

Founder Alan Lutwin said he started Westchester Collaborative Theater as a vagabond company 14 years ago, as a playwright looking for a place to stage his own work.

Seven years ago, the WCT found its home, an intimate black box space ideal for innovative, immersive productions and adaptability, as it is also used for classes, rentals of all sorts and musical performances.

“We offer quality, convenience and affordability to those looking for a night out enjoying the arts,” Lutwin said.

Lutwin said WCT is the only theater in the region that just stages new plays that are launched in house, when ready, from scripts developed by those involved with the collaborative.

WCT also offers classes, including one on scene study from 7 to 9 p.m. Tuesdays, Sept. 5 through Oct. 24. Luwin said people are welcome to join late, at a prorated fee.

The WCT is involved in programs developing youth theater and outreach to local senior residences and arts organizations.

That includes bringing plays to residents at Atria on the Hudson, Lutiwin said. The organization also partners with local high schools and SUNY Purchase to offer internships and other opportunities to learn about various aspects of the theater world.

WCT’s Music in the Box program leans toward jazz performances, but offers an inclusive range of artists who play a variety of styles, Lutwin said.

Improv troupe Blind Tiger performs its comedy at WCT, too, one Friday a month, at least through December.

Non-profits

Maryknoll Sisters, Maryknolll Fathers and Brothers, The Center at Mariandale answer the call to mission in Ossining

The Catholic missions of the Maryknoll Sisters and of the Maryknolll Fathers and Brothers, along withThe Center at Mariandale, are located near each other geographically as well as spiritually, with each offering an all-inclusive focus in faith.

Maryknoll Sisters part of ‘One Earth Community’

“The Maryknoll Sisters believe that we are all part of ‘One Earth Community,’ that all of us, regardless of race, nationality, gender, background or personal identity, are all connected as a human family, with each other and with all creation,” said Maryknoll Sisters PR and Digital Communications Manager Chelsea Lopez.

Lopez recalled the words of Pope Francis: “God created the world and entrusted it to us as a gift. Now we have the responsibility to care for and protect it and all people, who are part of creation. Protecting human dignity is strongly linked to care for creation.”

To that point, Lopez said Maryknoll Sisters give witness to God’s love and devote their lives in service overseas.

“As nurses, doctors, teachers, theologians, social workers, environmentalists and more, we serve the needs of the people — the poor, the ailing and the marginalized — where we are missioned,” Lopez said.

That mission began in 1912, when Maryknoll Sisters became the first group of Catholic Sisters in the United States founded for overseas missions. Today the organization has nearly 280 Sisters serving in 18 places around the world, Lopez said.

Locally, all are invited to the Maryknoll Sisters’ first Fall Festival since the COVID-19 pandemic.

The festival is set to take place from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 30 at the Maryknoll Sisters Center, 10 Pinesbridge Road, Ossining. The rain date is Sunday, Oct. 1.

Lopez said admission and parking will be free. The event will feature music, vendors, food trucks, a bubble show, international crafts, homemade fall baked goods and live raffle drawing for a $5,000 cash prize. All proceeds from the Fall Festival will benefit the elderly Maryknoll Sisters living at the Center in Ossining.

“Some of the Sisters at the Center continue to volunteer their time around the community, but many of the Sisters at the center are getting older and require their own medical and spiritual care,” Lopez said.

To learn more, visit www.maryknollsisters.org/featured-stories/fallfestival23/.

Maryknoll fathers and brothers creating a ‘culture of mission’

Linda “Chuck” Bottos, Executive Assistant to Robert Ambrose, COO/ PR, Events & Marketing Support Manager Center Operations for Maryknoll Fathers and Brothers, said the the organization is a Catholic Society of Apostolic Life of missionary priests and brothers who, for more than 100 years, have modeled themselves after the compassion and love of Jesus Christ in reaching out to those in the world who are most in need.

“Pope Francis challenges the Catholic Church to create a culture of mission, one in which all Christians respond to their baptismal call to be missionary disciples,” Bottos said. “Maryknoll answers this call to mission by sharing the good news of Jesus Christ to those who have not heard it, and by ministering to the hungry, sick and marginalized in more than 20 countries across the globe.”

Lopez said the work of the Maryknoll Fathers and Brothers involves direct evangelization and various pastoral ministries, healthcare, education, agricultural and vocational training, HIV/AIDS ministry, disaster relief, and many more in service as heralds of God’s love and hope in the poorest areas around the world.

The Maryknoll Fathers and Brothers Mission Center, 55 Ryder Road, Ossining, stands on top of a hill overlooking the Hudson River. Its Chinese inspired architecture is a tribute to the group’s very first mission to South China more than 100 years ago.

The Fathers and Brothers invite everyone to attend Mass, which it webcasts live from 9 to 10 a.m. ET every Sunday from its Queen of the Apostle Chapel.

For more information, visit maryknollsociety.org.

The Center at Mariandale ‘a pathway to the sacred’

While The Center at Mariandale, 299 Highland Ave. in Ossining, is not affiliated with the Maryknoll Sisters or the Maryknoll Fathers and Brothers, it does share similar values with its two neighbors.

“The Center has a strong commitment to care of the earth, social justice and promotion of the arts as a pathway to the sacred,” said Executive Director Carl Procario-Foley.

The Center at Mariandale is a retreat and conference center sponsored by the Dominican Sisters of Hope. Procario-Foley said that in the course of a year, more than 3,000 retreatants of all different faiths — high school youth, college students, young adults and seekers of all ages — come to The Center for renewal and rejuvenation.

The Center’s Hope Garden grows vegetables for the clients of Fred’s Pantry in Peekskill, and its quilting ministry, Hands for Hope, creates quilts that are sent all over the world, most recently to the Ukraine.

Procario-Foley noted that in 2022, The Center at Mariandale launched the Hope Volunteer program, a year-long residential, volunteer program for 4 to 6 post-collegiate young people, who serve the community and assist especially with youth retreats.

The Center also collaborates with Ossining’s Open Arms for Refugees to house refugee families as they transition to find employment and housing.

To promote inclusivity, The Center at Mariandale offers a number of initiatives.

“First, it has a series of offerings on anti-racism, most notably its St. Martin de Porres celebration honoring the first Black saint of the Americas,” Procario-Foley said.

The Center has a longstanding commitment to support the flourishing of women, as well.

“The very popular ‘Shine On; retreats, hosted by Kacey Morabito, radio host on 100.7 WHUD, focus on the health and wellness of women,” Procario-Foley said. “The Center also engages in outreach to the LGBTQ community by sponsoring Sanctuary retreats, opportunities for support, sharing of spirituality resources and community-building.”

Originally the home of the former Ossining Sisters of the Sick Poor and their homebound health outreach, the retreat center opened in the late 1970s, first serving only religious sisters and, in the last thirty years, including people of all walks of life, Procario-Foley said.

NATURE

Teatown offers seasonal nature programs on more than 1,000 acres of land

Autumn is a very exciting time at Teatown, the nonprofit nature preserve and education center.

“The landscape is beautiful because of the changing leaves, and we offer a ton of programming for children, adults and families,” said Teatown Communications and Marketing Manager, Lauren Zallo.

Located along Spring Valley Road in Ossining in the Lower Hudson Valley, Teatown holds 15 miles of hiking trails, a two-acre island refuge for more than 230 species of native wildflowers, year-round programming, wildlife exhibits and natural science day camps in the summer and during school breaks.

“We manage and protect more than 1,000 acres of land,” Zallo said.

Zallo noted that Teatown’s hiking trails are open every day, from dawn until dusk. But for major holidays, the Visitor Center and its Nature Story are open every day, too, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Staff is set for seasonal activities throughout the fall and into the winter.

“We typically hold two programs per weekend, one Saturday and one Sunday,” Zallo said.

Those will include:

• Guided hikes (fall color hikes, a post-Thanksgiving hike, etc.)

• Meet the Animals events for children and families where environmental educators and nature guides will introduce Animal Ambassadors (birds of prey, turtles, snakes, porcupines)

• Mushroom walks

• Environmental craft events

On Halloween weekend, Teatown will be holding its annual family-friendly Enchanted Forest, a 30-minute guided adventure featuring a cast of whimsical characters and familiar woodsy friends.

Along with the walk, tickets include crafts, Halloween treats and parking. Teatown members receive a discounted ticket price.

Teatown will be holding “A Night in the Woods” gala, its biggest annual fundraiser, Sunday, Oct. 1 at the Lyndhurst Mansion in Tarrytown. For tickets and information, see teatown.org/gala.

Zallo said staff also is working out the details for many other events, including the Teatown Hudson River EagleFest to be held sometime in early February.

“This year will be the 20th annual EagleFest, featuring thrilling live bird shows spotlighting birds of prey, bird walks where you can view eagles through spotting scopes, heated tents filled with educational displays and exhibits, crafts and games for children, food trucks and more,” Zallo said.

If any or all of the above piques your interest, Zallo suggested becoming a Teatown member.

“One of the main benefits of membership is discounted admission for all programs, and free parking. Otherwise it’s a $7 per car fee, each visit. Family membership level and above are also eligible to book children’s birthday parties and receive early and discounted summer camp registration,” she said.
