New Clock Installed in Village CenterA new four-sided Verdin clock has been installed in the Village Center outside the Scarsdale Train Station. The project was made possible through a donation from Wilson & Son Jewelers in recognition of its 120th year in business. The clock prominently displays the name “Scarsdale” and is intended as a lasting downtown landmark. Village officials and staff attended a brief unveiling to mark the installation. |

Bronx River Parkway Reservation Marks 100 YearsOn September 21, Mayor Justin Arest joined county officials and community members to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Bronx River Parkway Reservation, portions of which run through Scarsdale. As Westchester’s oldest park and one of the nation’s first linear parks, the 807-acre reservation remains a vital green space connecting communities. To mark the occasion, historic photos of Scarsdale’s section of the parkway (1912–1922), recently rediscovered in Village Hall and curated with help from the Scarsdale Historical Society, are now on display at the Scarsdale Public Library’s Local History Center. The images, from the Westchester County Archives, capture the river’s transformation from polluted banks to restored parkland and feature early landmarks such as Scarsdale Falls and the Greenacres Tea House. |
