Westmoreland Sanctuary plans Winterfest


Westmoreland Sanctuary Nature Museum, located at 260 Chestnut Ridge Road, Mount Kisco, will hold its fundraising event, Winterfest, on Friday, Jan. 24, from 6:30 to 9 p.m. 

The dress code is casual chic.

The event will feature wood-fired pizza from a local food truck, hot cider, beer and wine, and live music.

All proceeds from the event will benefit Westmoreland Sanctuary, supporting conservation efforts and educational programs for generations to come. 

The funds raised during Winterfest will directly benefit the ongoing work at the Sanctuary’s Environmental Education Center. The organization would like to add a public water system and bathroom to support its growing educational programs. It said this is a crucial development to accommodate the increasing number of participants and visitors to the sanctuary.

Tickets are $135 per person and $150 at the door. Sponsorships are available.

Since its founding in 1957, Westmoreland Sanctuary has been dedicated to acquiring, enriching, and preserving land for the free use, enjoyment, and education of the public. The sanctuary spans 699 acres and serves a diverse community, including over 10,000 program participants each year.

Westmoreland also maintains over 8.5 miles of trails, attracting between 20,000 to 30,000 visitors annually. The sanctuary is a key resource for local schools, serving students from six or seven school districts, both public and private, as well as schools from New York City.

Model train show on display in Bedford Hills through Jan. 28

The Bedford Hills Historical Museum is hosting a “New Model Train Show” on the lower level of the Town of Bedford building located at 321 Bedford Road, Bedford Hills.

The display is open Thursday and Saturday through Jan. 28, from 1 to 3 p.m. 

Visitors can see the HO Gauge model trains run on the track in the village that was built by the late Dr. Robert Bibi of Katonah and donated by his wife, Maria, and reinstalled at the museum. With the guidance of our board member and train aficionado, Rick Carmichael, members of the Olde Newburgh Model Railroad Club installed the HO-gauge set at the museum where it remains on display. 

The museum says the new model train display is great for kids of all ages and adults, and it’s free of charge.
