For several decades beginning in the late 1800s, steamboats regularly stopped at several locations in Hempstead Harbor, including a popular dock in Glenwood Landing near the intersection of Glenwood Road and Shore Road. Passengers who disembarked there often stayed at one of three nearby hotels: Ayers’, Hahn’s, or Karatsonyi’s. Accommodations might also be found in cottages at Larssen’s Woods, located west of Larsen Avenue between Grove Street and Glenwood Road. Visitors to the area enjoyed an idyllic stay, picnicking beside ponds, combing the beach, and sailing in the harbor. See these and many other historic neighborhood scenes in the Gold Coast Postcard Collection at Long Island Memories (www.longislandmemories.org).
