Historic Cherry Hill and its collections belong to you-with the board, volunteers, and staff serving as stewards of this public trust on your behalf. We want you to share in our astonishment when some little known detail is unearthed, and give you the opportunity to marvel at all the "stuff" which was, in the end, Emily Rankin's greatest legacy.
Starting April 2009, Cherry Hill is closed to walk-in tours during repairs and restoration. Limited special public programs will be offered during this time.
