Westchester Dinner Marks Historic Harvest of 27 Attendees
The Westchester County Historical Association held its largest annual dinner with 140 attendees on October 28 at the Presbyterian Community House in White Plains. Charles J. Dunlap was reelected president, and a gift from Felix Warburg funds restoration of the Hammond house between Valhalla and East View. A bill for a national monument to the Battle of White Plains was introduced, while a plan to acquire park space on Mount Misery behind the Washington Headquarters was urged. Speeches by John H. Finley and Dr. George F. Kunz highlighted preservation and regional unity. Twenty-seven Scarsdale members attended.
