On Thursday, July 28 travel with us by chartered bus to Rochester for a trip to one of America’s great historic houses, Meadow Brook Hall. Built for the Dodge family on the eve of the Great Depression, this 110-room estate survives as the fourth largest historic home in the United States. Our outing will include a guided tour through many of the fully furnished rooms, a catered lunch, a welcome from Meadow Brook’s Director, and a presentation on the Dodge family’s Presbyterian faith by the Curator. Those seeking an upstairs/downstairs fix following the end of Downton Abbey will find it here – a truly remarkable house and a compelling family story. Transportation and admission will be provided by the Mature Ministries program. Lunch will be $20, paid in advance. Buses leave Ann Arbor at 9:30 a.m. and return around 3:30 p.m.
