Overview
One of Westchester’s unique jewels, Glen Island was originally created in 1879 as a summer resort. In 1923, Glen Island Park and Casino was acquired by Westchester County.
During the 1930’s Big Band Era, The Glen Island Casino was a springboard to musical success for such entertainers as Ozzie Nelson, Charlie Barnet, Claude Thornhill, Les Brown, the Dorsey Brothers, and Glenn Miller and his orchestra, who got their big break when they were chosen to play a summer season at the prestigious Glen Island Casino.
The casino was reopened in December 1983. The original shell of the building and the dance floor in the second-floor ballroom, where the bands played, were retained.
Most recently, a new era has begun. After a $10 million renovation, the Glen Island Casino transformed into Glen Island Harbour Club — Westchester’s premier banquet facility — where new, everlasting memories are created.
