Progressive Farm to Historic House Museum: Rose Hill Mansion

Historic Geneva’s Executive Director, Kerry Lippincott, will share the story of preserving Rose Hill Mansion. She will look at how the house was restored and became a National Historic Landmark.

Once a working farm, at least fourteen different families called Rose Hill home between 1809 and 1965. Since 1968, the mansion has been operated as a historic house museum. Kerry will tell the story of the many people who have lived and worked on the property and examine how the site transitioned from a private home and farm to a museum.

The program series will be held at the Geneva History Museum at 543 South Main Street in Geneva and is open to the public. There is a suggested donation of $5 to support our programming.

2026 marks the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence. Historic Geneva is commemorating the anniversary with exhibits, programs, and blog articles. “Progressive Farm to Historic House Museum: Rose Hill Mansion” is part of the 250th commemoration.
