Summer Seminar Lecture #3 - Seneca Lake Revisited
On Tuesday July 19th at 10 am all members are invited to a free lecture. Rose Hill Mansion is considered one of the greatest examples of Greek Revival architecture in the United States. It is a property with many stories that include agriculture, technology, slavery, immigration, westward expansion, historic preservation, and architecture. Before becoming a historic house museum in 1968, Rose Hill Mansion had been a farm, summer estate, and nursing home. Owned and operated by Historic Geneva (formerly the Geneva Historical Society), Rose Hill Mansion is opened seasonally for guided tours.

Kerry graduated from Binghamton University with a BA in history and received a MA in museum studies from the University of Kansas. For 18 years she has worked for historical societies in Kansas and the Finger Lakes. Currently she is the Executive Director of Historic Geneva which tells the stories of Geneva through online content, the Geneva History Museum, Rose Hill Mansion, and Johnston House.
