The second installment of The Bronx During WWI series examines Pelham Bay Park. Unknown to many, Pelham Bay was a naval training station in preparation for the war. Today, most of the naval station’s original location is now within the New York City’s Police Department firing range. Join BCHS Educator Vivian Davis as she continues to celebrate The Great War centennial by exploring another facet of World War I history in The Bronx. This presentation will be illustrated.
