Vanderbilt Cup Races

The Melville Methodist Church mentioned above would be the Little White Church in the Wildwood, built in 1810, which stands on State Route 110 north of Duryea Rd. Here’s a c.1906 real photo postcard which also shows the carriage sheds in the background where the third robber sprang out from.

My first thought without sleuthing is that these sign may’ve been posted in or near Idle Hour in Oakdale NY, owned originally by William Kissam Vanderbilt 1. He was also a member of The Southside Sportsman’s Club nearby in today’s Connetquot State Park.

Hi all:  I tried to RSVP via the AACA-GNYR site, but seems it didn’t go through. I would like to swing by and (just like last year), park in adjacent lot, and generally be unobtrusive and stay out of the way (except to look).  Hope that’s still ok?
