There were many lively and eccentric members, and many of the beautiful buildings still stand today. The CCC helped set a precedent for Nyack’s creative and vibrant atmosphere which continues today.
Sadly, unlike the CCC, we do not have elephants. You can purchase this book at Pickwick Books, 8 S. Broadway, Nyack. There will also be a tour of the mansions of the Clarkston Country Club on Saturday, May 15. For more information you can e-mail housetour@nyackhistory.org.
