The cottage has been infested by powderpost beetles. William Casey chose hardwoods for the cottage, the better to carve the amazing designs into, but that is exactly the type of wood that the larvae of the powderpost beetle love to eat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We are desperate to stop them before they emerge this season and do considerable amounts of damage to the priceless architecture and art that is Casey\u2019s Cottage. Unfortunately, the bill for fumigation is roughly $30,000. The Friends of Mexico Point Park will share this burden with Parks, Recreation, and Historic Preservation, and the Town of Mexico. We hope to raise $10,000 for our share in combatting this pest and preventing further damage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you\u2019ve ever spent an afternoon strolling through the cottage, enjoyed an event held within, or would love to help save a piece of absolutely unique local history, please donate to the cause.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:66.66%\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"668\" src=\"https:\/\/mexicopointpark.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/caseys-cottage-interior-1024x668.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-773\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mexicopointpark.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/caseys-cottage-interior-1024x668.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/mexicopointpark.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/caseys-cottage-interior-300x196.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mexicopointpark.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/caseys-cottage-interior-768x501.jpg 768w, https:\/\/mexicopointpark.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/caseys-cottage-interior.jpg 1050w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:25%\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:50%\">\n<form action=\"https:\/\/www.paypal.com\/donate\" method=\"post\" target=\"_top\">\n<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"hosted_button_id\" value=\"863NRVGMZKPEJ\">\n<input type=\"image\" src=\"https:\/\/www.paypalobjects.com\/en_US\/i\/btn\/btn_donate_LG.gif\" border=\"0\" name=\"submit\" title=\"PayPal - The safer, easier way to pay online!\" alt=\"Donate with PayPal button\">\n<figure><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" src=\"https:\/\/www.paypal.com\/en_US\/i\/scr\/pixel.gif\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\"><\/figure><\/figure>\n<\/form>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:25%\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/mexicopointpark.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/MPP-Sunset-2-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-508\" style=\"width:496px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mexicopointpark.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/MPP-Sunset-2-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/mexicopointpark.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/MPP-Sunset-2-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mexicopointpark.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/MPP-Sunset-2-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/mexicopointpark.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/MPP-Sunset-2-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/mexicopointpark.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/MPP-Sunset-2-2048x1365.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo by Wayne Kirby<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-paragraph\">PLEASE NOTE:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Google Maps and Apple Maps have both been found to have incorrect information regarding the hours when Mexico Point Park is open.<\/strong><br><strong>Mexico Point Park is open from sunrise to sunset.
