Seabreeze Amusement Park

Seabreeze Amusement Park is an amusement park located in Irondequoit, New York. Seabreeze is the fourth-oldest operating amusement park in the United States and the thirteenth-oldest operating amusement park in the world, having opened in 1879. The park features roller coasters, smaller rides, a midway, and a water park. It is a trolley park. History In the 1870s, the lakeshore of Lake Ontario became a tourist destination for residents of the city of Rochester. Several hotels opened at the port of Charlotte and along Irondequoit Bay to entertain summer visitors, and rail lines were built from the city to both destinations. In 1879, the Rochester and Lake Ontario Railroad Company built a line from Portland Avenue in Rochester to the Sea Breeze neighborhood at the inlet of the bay. The company purchased fifty acres at the end of the line to open a resort for picnicking and other summer activities, which opened to the public on August 5, 1879 as Sea Breeze Grove. The Rochester and Lake Ontario Railroad went bankrupt in 1899 and was reorganized as the Rochester and Suburban Railway. Facing competition from other amusement parks along the bay and lakeshore, the park, which was then known as Sea Breeze Park, began adding carnival attractions. In 1903, the first permanent ride, a figure-eight roller coaster, was built in the park. By the 1920s, Sea Breeze Park featured several permanent attractions, including roller coasters, dance halls, a Philadelphia Toboggan Coasters carousel, and a large outdoor saltwater pool known as The Natatorium, which claimed to be the largest saltwater pool in the world. Sea Breeze Park was forced to downsize during the Great Depression, and the trolley line to the park, now owned by New York State Railways, was decommissioned in 1936. George W. Long Jr. began renting the park from New York State Railways in 1937, and officially purchased it in 1946, changing the name to Dreamland Park. Long added several rides during his tenure, including a log flume. Long retired in 1975 and was succeeded by his grandson, Robert Norris, as president. Norris renamed the park Seabreeze Amusement Park. A water park was introduced in 1986. The park's carousel was destroyed in a fire in 1994, and replaced two years later. During the COVID-19 pandemic, Seabreeze remained closed for the entire 2020 season. Operations resumed for the 2021 season. Current rides and attractions Seabreeze Amusement Park features 25 amusement park rides and water park. The amusement park is home to a variety of roller coasters and rides, food concessions, midway games, an arcade, a museum, live entertainment, and picnic areas. The water park features a variety of waterslides, a lazy river, spraygrounds, a wave pool, sunbathing areas, a bathhouse, a retail location, and food outlets.

Seatuck National Wildlife Refuge

Seatuck National Wildlife Refuge is located in the hamlet of Islip, New York, on the south shore of Long Island. It is managed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service as part of the Long Island National Wildlife Refuge Complex. The refuge consists of 196 acres (0.79 km2) bordering the Great South Bay, separated from the Atlantic Ocean only by Fire Island. Situated in a heavily developed urban area along Champlin Creek, the refuge is an oasis for many species of migratory birds and waterfowl. Approximately one half of the refuge consists of tidal marsh, which serves a vast number of waterfowl in the winter months. The refuge attracts waterbirds, white-tailed deer, red fox, and migratory songbirds and raptors. The refuge has been classified as part of the larger Great South Bay, a significant coastal habitat. Management activities include forest and grassland protection and management, wetland restoration, wildlife nesting structure maintenance, and habitat restoration.

Seguine Mansion

The Seguine Mansion, also known as the Seguine-Burke Mansion, is located on Lemon Creek near the southern shore of Staten Island, New York City. The Greek Revival house is one of the few surviving examples of 19th-century life on Staten Island. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and is a member of the Historic House Trust. James Seguine is believed to have purchased property near Lemon Creek between 1780 and 1786, and his grandson Joseph H. Seguine built the house on the property in 1838. At the time, he added a hay barn, carriage house and stables. Joseph was a prominent businessman in the area, founding several companies including the Staten Island Railroad company. He died in 1856. In 1868, the family was forced to sell the house and land. In 1916, descendants were able to repurchase the house and it remained in the family until 1981. In 1981, the house was in serious need of repair, and was sold to George Burke, who had previously restored other historic buildings in the community. Burke not only saved the building but also ensured that the property would not be subdivided. The renovation of the outside of the house took more than five years and sixty gallons of paint. Burke filled the house with his elaborate collection of art and furnishings, many acquired during his years in England after World War II, while he was in the Air Force. After restoring the house and establishing an equestrian center at the site, Burke donated the Seguine Mansion to the City of New York in 1989, and retains a life interest in the site. The New York City Parks Department owns the house. Tours are scheduled by Friends of the Seguine Mansion, by appointment only. The Friends of Seguine Mansion is a not-for-profit 501(c)(3) organization formed for the purpose to own, operate, manage, and do everything normally associated with conducting the business of fund-raising for the care and maintenance of the Seguine Mansion residence and grounds, together with the power to solicit grants and contributions for the corporate purposes.

Seguine Mansion

Seguine Mansion (Manoir Seguine), également manoir Seguine-Burke, est un édifice historique situé sur Lemon Creek, près de la rive sud de Staten Island, à New York. La maison de style néo-grec est l'un des rares témoignages existants de la vie du XIXe siècle à Staten Island. Il est inscrit au registre national des lieux historiques et est membre du Historic House Trust. Histoire James Seguine a acheté une propriété près de Lemon Creek entre 1780 et 1786, et son petit-fils Joseph H. Seguine a construit la maison sur la propriété en 1838. Il ajouta une grange à foin, une remise et des écuries. Joseph était un homme d'affaires de premier plan dans la région, fondant plusieurs sociétés, dont la société Staten Island Railroad. Il mourut en 1856. En 1868, la famille fut contrainte de vendre la maison et le terrain. En 1916, les descendants purent racheter la maison qui resta dans la famille jusqu'en 1981. En 1981, la maison avait sérieusement besoin de réparations et a été vendue à George Burke, qui avait auparavant restauré d'autres bâtiments historiques. Burke a non seulement sauvé le bâtiment, mais a également veillé à ce que la propriété ne soit pas divisée. La rénovation de l'extérieur de la maison a nécessité plus de cinq ans et soixante gallons de peinture. Burke a rempli la maison de sa collection d'œuvres d'art et de meubles, dont beaucoup acquis au cours de ses années en Angleterre après la Seconde Guerre mondiale, alors qu'il était dans l'armée de l'air. Après avoir restauré la maison et créé un centre équestre sur le site, Burke a fait don du manoir Seguine à la ville de New York en 1989 et conserve un droit à vie sur le site. Le département des parcs de la ville de New York est propriétaire de la maison. Des visites sont programmées par les Amis de la Maison Seguine, sur rendez-vous.

Senate House State Historic Site

The Senate House State Historic Site is located on Fair Street in Kingston, New York, United States. During the Revolutionary War, New York's First Constitutional Convention met in Kingston, where it adopted the first New York State Constitution on April 20th, 1777. Upon being elected, the first New York State Senate met in the home of local merchant Abraham Van Gaasbeek, which is today referred to as Senate House. After roughly one month, the Senate, along with the rest of the new government was forced to flee from advancing British troops just prior to the Burning of Kingston on October 16th 1777. Since it was established as a State Historic Site in 1887, Senate House has served as a historic house museum. The site now includes a museum building in addition to the historic house, as well as a number of other contributing structures. It is currently it is owned and operated by the New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation. In 1971 it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the first building in Kingston listed. At that time it was a contributing property to the small Clinton Avenue Historic District. Four years later, in 1975, the original district was replaced with the larger Kingston Stockade District, which retained the Senate House and all the other properties of the original district. The house first belonged to Wessel Wesselse Ten Broeck, born about 1636, who emigrated to New Amsterdam from Wessen, in Westphalia in 1659. It is generally described as having been built in 1676, but can be certainly dated to some time before his death in 1704. The ground floor of the house consists of three rooms, lined up along the street, with an entrance hallway between two of the rooms. As is typical of early Dutch houses in the Hudson Valley, the house is of stone, with the exception of the rear wall which is brick, laid in Flemish bond.

Sentinel Range Wilderness Area

The Sentinel Range Wilderness Area, an Adirondack Park unit of New York's Forest Preserve, is located in the towns of Wilmington, North Elba and Keene, Essex County. It is bounded by NY 86 on the north, NY 73 on the south, and private lands on the east and west. The area contains 5 bodies of water covering 74 acres (29.6 ha), 13.8 miles (22.2 km) of foot trails, and a lean-to. The Sentinel Range and its slopes dominate the area and five small ponds are situated near the northern and northwestern boundaries. Sentinel Mountain and the general northeastern quarter of the area are characterized by bare rock outcropping that resulted from forest fires more than a half century ago. The terrain is steep and rugged, with some vertical cliffs facing north and northeast. The eastern slopes of the area have a hardwood forest that regenerated after the forest fires. There are mixed hardwood and softwood stands, primarily along brooks on the eastern slopes. The remainder of the area has a mixed hardwood-softwood cover with some small pockets of white pine between ledges near the northern boundary. Good views may be obtained from the top of Sentinel and Pitchoff Mountains, but forest cover restricts the view of Kelburn Mountain, Stewart Mountain, Slide Mountain and Black Mountain. There is an excellent view of the Wilmington Notch-Whiteface Mountain section from a lean-to site on the south side of Copperas Pond. More than thirty years ago a ski trail was constructed from the west boundary to South Notch, and a lean-to was constructed at the terminus in the Notch. The trail was reported to have been little used for skiing, but is maintained as a foot trail. The lean-to was eliminated because of deterioration and lack of use. The major portion of the perimeter is readily accessible to the public from highways but has not been as susceptible to penetration as some of the less rugged state land because of its terrain.
