As a child and summer resident, Marisa Tomei performed here. The area is also rich with wildlife - deer, turtles, ducks, and fish. In 1938 through community efforts, an eight-acre lake was developed. There is a small private beach as well as volleyball and handball courts. For the hungry, there is a picnic area with wooden tables and benches.
Residential dues help pay for the upkeep.
As you travel up the dirt roads, many of which are dead ends, the homes resemble old summer cottages with enclosed porches tucked behind the trees. One home with wealthier origins, now owned by town councilman Fred Margolies, is stone-faced and known for its terraced flower and vegetable gardens. Next to Mr. Saul's house now sits a decrepit shack. He said this very small home was owned by a Mr. Shumansky who moved there in 1932 to die of tuberculosis. Mr. Shumansky was a mason, doing much of the stone work throughout the neighborhood.
