Jodi and Bryan Wolkind, BelleFair residents who have been anxious to learn about High Point Hospital for years, check out a section of an exhibit about the old mental institution dedicated to Dr. Andrew Gralnick’s philosophy of treatment. The exhibit at the Bush-Lyon Homestead in Lyon Park was co-curated by the Port Chester Historical Society and documentary filmmaker Jill Yesko and will be available to view through November.
