All meetings are at 7:30 at the Hermitage (except February, see below) 335 North Franklin Turnpike, Ho-Ho-Kus, NJ 07423. This Wednesday, January 27, we have an interesting program about the evolution of the Hermitage as a public historic site. How does a home go from overgrown disrepair to an historic site? How does the vision of one woman get fulfilled? Were you part of these events? Everyone is invited to join us at the Roundtable.

Henry Bischoff, former Ramapo College Professor and director of historical studies at the Hermitage, “Saving the Hermitage as a Heritage for the
Public.” 2010 marks the 40th anniversary of the death of Mary Elizabeth
Rosencrantz and the Hermitage becoming a public historic site. The saving of the Hermitage for the public, however, evolved over many decades before her death. It is this evolution together with persons and events in 1970 that we can explore together at this roundtable.
