“The Havemeyers of Mountain Side Farm” with Tom Dunn
Join us for an afternoon with Tom Dunn discussing one of the most popular Mahwah families, the Havemeyers of Mountain Side Farm.
Tom has been studying Theodore Havemeyer and his family since about 2000, when Ramapo College bought the "Havemeyer House" for use by its then-president. Havemeyer was a partner in a sugar refining company that later became the largest participant in the Sugar Trust in the 1890's. Havemeyer first bought property in Mahwah in 1879 and, between then and his death in 1897, acquired over 3000 acres.
During Theodore's lifetime, it was one of his principal homes, and there he created Mountain Side Farm, a major state-of- the- art dairy farm. One or more members of the Havemeyer family continuously occupied parts of Mountain Side Farm from 1879 for 116 years until the death of Theodore's grandson, Henry O. Havemeyer, Jr., in 1995.
This one-hour slide presentation will trace the history of this important Mahwah family and property; include the story of a tragic death; and reveal some other surprises.
