The City’s Best-Kept Secrets
Mount Kisco has its own drum corps—the Mount Kisco Ancients Fife & Drum Corps—which was formed in 1937. They have played around Mount Kisco and the country since then, including an early performance at 1939’s World’s Fair in New York. The corps has the largest set of drums still in existence that were created by famed drum maker Sanford “Gus” Moeller. The drums, which were delivered in the 1950s, are still played today. Today, the corps has more than 40 members and plays at local pa- rades every summer.
And BTW...
• Kisco comes from an Indian word. The town isn’t exactly sure which one, but its historians think it’s either "kiskamenahook," which means “settlement near a brook” or "cisqua," meaning “a muddy place.”
• At the Abyss Scuba (abyss-scuba.net) shop, you can become a certified scuba diver.
• John Schneider, actor and co-founder of Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals, was born in Mount Kisco. • Mount Kisco’s municipal complex is recognized on
the National Register of Historic Places. Built in the 1930s, the complex initially housed the town hall, the police station, the library, the jail, and the post office. Today, many of Mount Kisco’s government offices are still housed there.
