Author Mike Virgintino will talk about Freedomland U.S.A., the 1960s American history theme park located in The Bronx. Known as the “Disneyland of the East,” Freedomland had significant connections to Disney, Hollywood, Broadway and the leading entertainers of the day. Unknown to the park creator/builder and the general public that adored Freedomland U.S.A., the landowner, local politicians, city planners and construction unions considered the park a “placeholder” until property variances permitted significant development on the marshland. The variances provided the green light for the construction of Co-op City. A shopping center was added about a decade later and an indoor mall was constructed on the remaining undeveloped land during 2012. Mike will explain the rise and demise of Freedomland with vintage film, plenty of photos and a memorabilia display. Sign up required.
