Join us for a lovely Garden Party Lunch at Rockwood Hall celebrating the Friends' ongoing endeavors since 1996 to protect and maintain the Rockefeller State Park Preserve. Funds raised by the event will go towards the revitalization of Rockwood Hall including amenities for the public and a designated entry in keeping with the location's history and landscaping. As a private home for generations, the foundation and stone gatehouse are all that remain today of what was once a grand mansion. Its spectacular Hudson River views, rare specimen trees, and proximity to the neighboring community have made it a highly popular destination. The event will be outside, under a tent. friendsrock.org/2023-garden-party.
