We are very excited to share the third and final film that Ryan Hanlon of Route 3 Films gifted to us. Not many people know just how big a role he played with our restoration efforts. It was fitting that his daughter, Audrey, got to play Lucy Haskell at this unique milestone in the history of our beloved park and it's historic structures. This film highlights our annual birthday party in July to celebrate Lucy Haskell's birthday. 2015 was her 135th and the playhouse marked it's 130th summer!
Enjoy and don't hesitate to contact us if you are interested in joining our dedicated team of volunteers.
