Clark's+Woods



Clark's Woods - The Clark Homestead was established in 1700 with the erection of a large house, portions of which stood until 1914. The land surrounding the home became known as Clark's Woods and its picnic grove was popularly used by Woodhaven families in the late 1800s. According to local legend, General George Washington stopped at the Clark Homestead and spent the night during the Revolutionary War.

10 years after the last trace of the Clark Homestead was torn down, the Cross Bay Theater was built (opened December 1924). This theater sat over 1,400 people before it was split into multiple theaters. The Cross Bay Theater would remain in operations for over 80 years, finally closing in June, 2005. Currently the location of Modell's Sporting Goods.
