Tuesday, April 23 – Morris County
The Mendham Borough Historical Society meeting takes place on Tuesday, April 23, at 1:30 PM in the Garabrant Center, 4 Wilson Street, Borough. Following a brief business agenda, Rikki Lyn Hauss presents “The Doris Duke Story – The Duchess of South Somerville.” The author leads us through exclusive exhibits from the hotly-debated demise of the Duke mansion in Hillsborough, offering a PowerPoint program with photographs, artifacts, along with a comprehensive dialogue on Duke’s life and legacy (and its controversy) as seen through the eyes of former employees as well as candid friends and neighbors of the billionaire heiress. An interesting program in view of Mendham’s recent Pitney property.
Ms. Hauss is a graduate of Hillsborough HS, Rutgers U, and Arizona State U (MSW, LSW); the 2018 self-published book received three nominations for the 2018 Independent Publisher’s Awards (IPPYs). Public invited; parking/program are free. Note time change: 1:30 PM.
