An insanity trial orchestrated by her surviving son led to her confinement in an asylum. \nMary Todd Lincoln is still often portrayed in one dimension\, as the stereotype of the best-hated faults of all women. Here her life is restored for us whole. We will discuss Mary Todd Lincoln.

A virtual Fireside Chat event with George Hill\, our President. He will lead the interactive discussion. We are excited to announce our book choice\, The Phantom of Fifth Avenue: The Mysterious Life and Scandalous Death of Heiress Huguette Clark\, by Meryl Gordon. To register for this FREE event\, please email loisbrown@oakhillcemeterydc.org.  \nBorn in 1906\, Huguette Clark grew up in her family’s 121-room Beaux Arts mansion in New York and was one of the leading celebrities of her day. Her father William Andrews Clark\, was a copper magnate\, the second richest man in America\, and not above bribing his way into the Senate. \nHuguette attended the coronation of King George V. and at twenty-two with a personal fortune of $50 million to her name\, she married a Princeton man and childhood friend William MacDonald Gower. Two-years later the couple divorced. After a series of failed romances\, Huguette began to withdraw from society–first living with her mother in a kind of Grey Gardens isolation then as a modern-day Miss Havisham\, spending her days in a vast apartment overlooking Central Park\, eating crackers\, and watching The Flintstones with only servants for company. \nAll her money and all her real estate could not protect her in her later life from being manipulated by shady hangers-on and hospitals that were only too happy to admit (and bill) a healthy woman. But what happened to Huguette that turned a vivacious\, young socialite into a recluse? \nRead or listen to the book and be prepared for an exciting virtual interactive Fireside Chat URL:https://oakhillcemeterydc.org/event/a-special-winter-event-a-virtual-fireside-chat-with-president-george-hill/ LOCATION:DC CATEGORIES:Book Club END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20230415 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20230416 DTSTAMP:20230216T135803Z CREATED:20230214T154744Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230216T135803Z UID:978-1681516800-1681603199@oakhillcemeterydc.org SUMMARY:Spring Dog Day - 2023 DESCRIPTION: URL:https://oakhillcemeterydc.org/event/spring-dog-day-2023/ LOCATION:Oak Hill Cemetery\, 3001 R St. NW\, Washington\, DC\, 20007\, United States ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://oakhillcemeterydc.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/dog-day2-scaled.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20230428T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20230428T100000 DTSTAMP:20230427T141139Z CREATED:20230214T154645Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230427T141139Z UID:976-1682676000-1682676000@oakhillcemeterydc.org SUMMARY:April 28th Event Cancelled - RAIN DATE is May 5th DESCRIPTION:RAIN DATE May 5th 10am\, April 28th cancelled due to bad weather\nArbor Day celebration at Oak Hill Cemetery.

We invite you to experience Oak Hill in all its many forms through an outdoor mindfulness experience. You will be welcomed to slow down\, be curious\, and to use all your senses to connect with this remarkable place. \nOutdoor mindfulness is akin to Shinrin-yoku\, or forest bathing\, a Japanese wellness practice that helps individuals access the healing properties of nature. Research shows that extended contemplative time in nature calms the mind\, promotes well-being\, and cultivates a profound sense of belonging. \nThe experience begins with an orientation to\, and expression of gratitude for\, the place where we will be spending our time. It includes warm-ups\, centering\, and breathing exercises\, a non-strenuous walk\, and an extended sit. We conclude with a returning ritual\, a chance to reflect on the experience and understand how the practice can be used in daily life. \nOur guide is Susan West Montgomery\, a Kripalu Certified Outdoor Mindfulness Guide providing outdoor mindfulness excursions in the Washington\, DC\, region and beyond.
