Official Room Opening of Butlers Pantry

A TRIBUTE TO THE MEMORY OF MARIA VEZENDY

1:00 to 4:00 p.m.

After almost 100 years, the original table that was in the Jackson Mansion’s Butlers Pantry is back in place thanks to Maria Vezendy and all of the over 125 persons who donated to the Maria Vezendy Memorial Fund. Her appreciation for history, hard work and dedication and board service is deeply missed, but thanks to your generous donations, it will never be forgotten.

Maria started the room sponsorship program for the Jackson Mansion. Upon Maria’s death, she requested that in lieu of flowers that donations be made to the Berwick Historical Society. The Board of Directors and her family decided to use the over $6,000 to finish restoration of the room in her honor. What you will see on Saturday May 26th is a completely restored Butlers Pantry.
