Bayport Blue Point Heritage Association: 2019

The Bayport Heritage Association was formed in 1983 and is dedicated to the preservation of the history of Bayport. The association has an extensive collection of archival photographs, vintage clothing, artifacts and books. Through the years, the group has been particularly active in the restoration of Meadow Croft, a John Ellis Roosevelt summer home and now a historical museum on the border of Bayport and Sayville. The association provides lectures and resources- educational, historical, environmental and social programs and services for the community and interested public.

Lion's Club visits Meadow croft

The Bayport Blue Point Community Lions Club visited Meadow Croft this past month. More than 30 members came to Meadow Croft on a rainy Sunday in October to have a tour and enjoy some lunch. Veteran docents Jerry McClusky and Frank Giebfried split the group and led them on a tour the historic home, telling them the story of John Ellis Roosevelt and how his family spent their summers on Long Island. After the tour, the members enjoyed a delicious lunch and had plenty of laughs in the carriage house. Along with the history lesson, the group relished in a tasting of the fabulous wines from Loughlin Vinyards. It was our honor and pleasure hosting such a wonderful community organization!

90th Anniversary for Blue Point Elementary School

Our community recently celebrated Blue Point Elementary's 90th Anniversary, which was hosted by the Bayport-Blue Point Union Free School District, Bayport Blue Point Heritage Association and the Blue Point Community Coalition!
The Elementary School which has been on Blue Point Ave since 1873 has evolved over the years. The brick Blue Point Elementary School building you see today was originally dedicated in 1929 that housed students in grades 1-8 and just 147 students were registered. This year, marks the buildings 90th Anniversary. The dedication of the district and buildings administration team, teachers and staff members, the hard work of its students, and support from the community, has made Blue Point Elementary School the cornerstone to this great community.
This special day wouldn’t be complete without the inspiring words of Blue Point Elementary schools current and former students. BBP High School senior Lizzy A, and lifetime residents and former Blue Point Elementary students, Dennis McCarthy and Joe Monteith, shared the love for their school and the wonderful memories of fellow students, staff and their days at Blue Point Elementary.
After a beautiful celebration with administration, current students, staff and community leaders on the front lawn of the school, the community was invited into the auditorium to browse the photos and memorabilia collected from Historian Gene Horton and community members. It was a fantastic celebration and a wonderful stroll down memory lane. Congratulations Blue Point Elementary school!

Historic Haunts of long island...

On Wednesday, October 23, the BBPHA hosted a special presentation by author Kerriann Flanagan Brosky and paranormal investigator Joe Giaquinto. The two discussed ghosts and legends from Kerriann’s book Historic Haunts of Long Island. The sold-out audience of over fifty people was entertained with the history of various Long Island locations, as well as the paranormal activity that was investigated at these sites. The pair previously investigated Bayport’s own Grey Horse Tavern, soon to be JT’s Farmhouse, which was included in the book.
The ladies’ parlor at Meadow Croft was an appropriate setting for the lecture, as the house will be included in Kerriann and Joe’s next book. The two visited Meadow Croft this past April and researched the history of the house and the Roosevelt family. They also conducted a paranormal investigation. Look for the results when their book is published in 2021!

Thank you!

Meadow Croft is open for tours every weekend from June through October. During this time, trained docents guide visitors through the historic estate, share the rich history of John Ellis Roosevelt and his family and explain the daily happenings of life in the early 1900's.

Our docents are self-less volunteers who give up their weekend time to share this knowledge because of their commitment of preserving local history and making our community a better place. Three cheers for all of them! Thank you for all you do to help the BBPHA achieve it's goals.

Autumn House Tour ~ CANCELLED

It is very unfortunate that we have to cancel this tour again but after months of knocking on doors, handing out flyers and asking friends and neighbors, we just do not have the homes to showcase for our Autumn House Tour. We thank those volunteers who hit the pavement in search of gracious BBP homeowners, but we came up short. When people do commit and then rescind their offer at the last minute, it makes the job even harder to secure homes. Maybe next year...

Historic Haunts of Long Island

Special Presentation at Meadow Croft

October 23 at 7:00

Please join us for a special presentation on Wednesday, October 23 at Meadow Croft as we welcome Kerriann Flanagan Brosky and Joe Giaquinto for their presentation, Historic Haunts of Long Island.

Take a ghostly journey through Long Island’s history, from Native American legends to the Revolutionary War and beyond. Through extensive research, interviews and investigations, award winning author and historian Kerriann Flanagan Brosky, working alongside medium and paranormal investigator Joe Giaquinto, has uncovered Long Island’s eerie history. Kerriann and Joe’s credibility and unique approach to ghost investigating and the paranormal allow them to uncover mysteries and untold tales, like the ghosts that lurk the halls of Oheka Castle in Cold Spring Hills. Even popular businesses have otherworldly visitors, like Bayport’s own Grey Horse Tavern (soon to be JT’s Farmhouse) and the Cutchogue Village Green. Long Island’s history has been unearthed and preserved through the ghost stories and spirts who have made their presence known; those who have lived before us, and those who continue to guide us.

Earlier this year, Kerriann and Joe researched and investigated Meadow Croft and will present some of their initial paranormal findings. We are happy to announce that Meadow Croft will be included in their book to be published in 2021!

Registration is required and a $5.00 fee will be collected at the door. Please email bbphistorical@gmail.com or call 631-245-8457 to register. Seating is limited to 50.

Remembering Gene Horton

It is with great sadness that the BBPHA shares the passing of Gene Horton. Gene was our historian, a teacher, author, world traveler, speaker, volunteer, and friend. He loved his community and tirelessly gave of himself as he lovingly shared his knowledge of Bayport and Blue Point with all he knew.

Gene was born in Brooklyn NY in 1942. He went on to graduate from Providence College and began sharing his love of history in his teaching career at the East Moriches School from 1964 through his retirement in 1997. Gene authored 6 historical books and was a frequent contributor to the local paper, the Bayport Blue Point Gazette. He was a member of many historical societies, an honorary member of the Blue Point Fire Department, and the Local History Room at the Bayport Blue Point Library was named in his honor.

Gene's contributions to the BBPHA are endless. He has chaired events, donated items, was a featured speaker, was a docent at Meadow Croft, put his house on the Autumn House tour, and so much more. His love of history was infectious and his commitment to preserve the history of the towns he loved was admirable.

One of Gene's favorite quotes was: To preserve our past is to enrich our future. Gene has enriched the lives and hearts of many. He was a true gentleman and will be missed.

Historic Moonlit Cruise

Our postponed Historic Moonlit Cruise was supposed to happen on August 28th, but unfortunately Mother Nature had other plans for that evening. It certainly was disappointing for those of us who have toured the Great South Bay before and learned so much about our local nautical history. It was also disappointing for those who have not had the chance to attend. Full refunds should have been granted through PaPal or other means. Please reach out if you have questions or concerns. Fingers crossed that next year the weather will cooperate! Are you listening Mother Nature??!!

Odds and ends...

Meadow Croft House Tours: Historic tours of the Roosevelt Estate are happening every weekend from now through October. The times are 2:00-4:00 on Saturday and Sunday. See how life was in the early 1900's as you experience a guided tour with a trained docent. Always something new to see and learn!

Summer Solstice Walking Tour

After a year off, residents were once again able to mark the beginning of the summer season with a stroll through historic Blue Point, sponsored by the Bayport-Blue Point Public Library. This year’s tour was held on June 21st, 2019 and led by Frank Giebfried of BBPHA, with help and guidance from our local historian Gene Horton.

The tour began at Blue Point Avenue Dock, and along the way many beautiful homes were visited, as well as the sites of the great summer boarding houses from last century. Some of the historic spots included Avery’s Five Mile Look Hotel, Grandview Gardens Private Beach, the Monterey Hotel, the South Bay House, and the Megill estate. We also visited the homes of Ballington Booth, jazz clarinetist Johnny Mince, and Nobel Prize recipient Raymond Davis Jr.
Thanks to Brittney Parrot for allowing us to walk the property of the Megill estate, and also to Jason Borowski for allowing us access to Grandview Gardens Private Beach. We also appreciate Wendy Bennett from the library for her help in organizing the tour, and for arranging access to the grounds of the future library.

Finally, special thanks to Gene Horton for developing these tours and starting this wonderful tradition. We hope he’ll be back next year. See you all then!

This is our biggest fundraiser which allows us to complete updates, repairs and displays to Meadow Croft and offer free programs like the summer concerts for our friends in the BBP community. While 3 months away, this venture takes a tremendous amount of planning and preparation and WE NEED YOU! If you would like to help or volunteer or have a historic, interesting or architectural significant home that we could showcase, please contact us. Contact info found below.

Kite Day

On Sunday June 23rd, BBPHA held it's first informal event of the summer season, Kite Day. It was a beautiful day and we thank everyone who came out to enjoy the gorgeous weather and fly a kite. Kids of all ages had a fun time!

Don't forget: Tours of the Meadow Croft estate are happening every weekend from June through October from 2:00-4:00. Hope you can come down to check out all of the renovations and new exhibits this year. See you there!

Academy Street Visits Meadow Croft

On a beautiful spring day under sunny skies, about 75 students and their teachers from Academy Street Elementary School in the BBP School district walked to Meadow Croft. They were met by trained docents who divided up the group and shared the rich history of John Ellis Roosevelt's summer home. Students loved the tour and marveled that President Teddy Roosevelt visited his cousin and the property on horseback all the way from Oyster Bay. They had lots of questions and returned to Academy Street with a new found respect for a piece of local history, found right in our own backyard. Thanks for visiting kids!

A special THANK YOU!

A special shout out to our friends and neighbors the Sayville Fire Department! On June 30th a quick moving, terrible squall developed over parts of Suffolk County. The weather rapidly turned for the worse as large, dark clouds moved in. The wind vigorously picked up and hail followed by rain began to fall as strong winds blew through our area.

A tour group was visiting Meadow Croft and while they had shelter from the storm many trees toppled down and one blocked the entrance/exit to the property. A call was made to the Fire Department and they quickly came with their equipment to help with this problem. The good news is no one was hurt and in a short time, the entrance was once again open.

Thank you again to our heroes; The Sayville Fire Department!
