Honoring
Kimberly & Steven Rockefeller Jr.
Kimberly and Steven Rockefeller have made their home in Pocantico Hills beneath Buttermilk Hill and the old apple orchard, where they raised their three children, Steven 111, Christian and Kayla. They have been fully committed to the preservation of this magnificent preserve since the inception of the Friends of the Rockefeller State Park Preserve in 1996.
Kimberly is a founding board member of RSPP and has served for thirty years. Steven’s most noted efforts in advance of park welfare comprised extensive clean up and sawmilling over six summers following the aftermath of a devasting tornado in 2006.
Both Kimberly and Steven are dedicated to cultural exchange and have co-curated numerous Asian art shows in the beautiful art gallery housed in the Visitors Center of the RSPP.
Kimberly and Steven salute all the volunteers and stewards who are devoted to the protection of this treasured landscape for generations to come.
IN SUPPORT OF ROCKWOOD HALL. Proceeds from this event benefit the Preserve's Rockwood Hall, the former estate of William Rockefeller. This unique 88 acres of parkland directly overlooking the Hudson River has become increasingly popular among visitors. Your contribution will help to continue an improvement project that will provide a formal entrance with a courtyard, informational kiosk, restrooms, and expanded parking.
Rockwood Hall is known for its rich history and unique location. As a private home for generations, the foundation and stone gatehouse are all that remain today of what was once a grand mansion. Its spectacular Hudson River views, rare specimen trees, and proximity to the neighboring community have made it a highly popular destination and the Friends are excited to begin planning for robust improvements, including amenities for the public, a designated entry in keeping with the location’s history and landscaping that will have a positive environmental impact.
