HUNTINGTON, NEW YORK…Huntington’s African American Historic Designation Council (AAHDC) was awarded a fifteen hundred dollar matching grant from the National Trust for Historic Preservation’s John E. Streb Preservation Fund for New York.
In collaboration with the Town of Huntington, the Long Island Rail Road (LIRR), and Friends of the Huntington Train Station (FOHTS), a portion of the funds will be used to present an informative and engaging exhibit at the Huntington Train Station. The exhibit will include highlights from Huntington’s African American History with a Long Island Railroad component, including photos and narratives of The Coltrane Home in Dix Hills, The Booker T. Washington House in Fort Salonga, Bethel A.M.E. Church and Evergreen Missionary Baptist Church in Huntington, and the late Samuel and Rebecca Ballton of Greenlawn with two of the houses he built including the one where they celebrated their fiftieth wedding anniversary. The exhibit will educate and inform the public about the contributions of African Americans to Huntington and the larger society; increase public awareness and support of the value of historic, architectural and cultural preservation; encourage more participation and financial support from public, private and governmental agencies, and encourage the Town of Huntington and the LIRR to co-sponsor similar programs. Part of the grant funds will also be used to establish a web site to present a vehicle for the Council to share its research with the public, and allow the public to share knowledge with the Council about African American contributions to the Town.

A New Beginning for the Fuchs Pond Preserve Property
This is the year of the new beginning over at the Fuchs Pond Property in Northport. The property had been in need of refurbishment and a little tender loving care and all 2009 pilot programs proved successful.
“The first major change at the site was the renovation of an existing apartment. This has become the home of a NYS DEC Police Officer which has been a tremendous asset in alleviating vandalism at this location,” said Councilman Mark Cuthbertson. The area has also been cleaned up extensively including removing a run down out-structure.
