HISTORY OF THE HICKORY HILL COMMUNITY

Hickory Hill is a special community created by a group of World War II specialists and Columbia University alumni who had been stationed in Tappan with their young families and were determined to remain in the area they had grown to love.

In 1950, on the site of the old "McGuillicuddy Farm", the founders strove together to preserve the natural environment of 31 acres of hills, woodlands, fields and orchards as a heritage to be shared by one and all. They created 30 indiviual homes, that have been cared for and enhanced these many years.

It has recently been designated a Historic Area site.

Numerous articles have been written through the years about the innovative cooperative activities and neighborly spirit of the Hickory Hill community and the effects its members have had upon the preservation of the historic treasures in the historic town of Tappan.

The adjoining Hickory Hill Lane adult town homes were built in 1983 by a group of Hickory Hill members with the vision of creating attractive, easy-maintenance homes for members whose children had moved away and wished to remain in the area when their housing needs diminished.

Recently the community was featured in the New York Times because it has attracted the "young" as well as "the young at heart"- writers, artists, actors, physicians, educators and others who value the rich quality of life the community affords its members.

Both Hickory Hill communities share all recreational facilities in common and were designed by the internationally recognized architect, Danforth Toan. Both have won awards and commendations for their wise planning and "rural beauty".
