Celebrate the 10th anniversary of Martha Hall Kelly’s best-selling book Lilac Girls at the museum that first inspired her!
In 2000, Martha Hall Kelly toured Bethlehem’s Bellamy-Ferriday House & Garden, home of 20-century philanthropist, Caroline Woolsey Ferriday. Kelly departed the property with a deeper understanding of Ferriday’s profoundly moving actions—and an idea. Kelly’s novel, Lilac Girls, is based on the true story of 75 women imprisoned and experimented on at Ravensbrück and how Ferriday brought them to the U.S. for rehabilitation and the trip of a lifetime. Each year, the Bellamy-Ferriday House & Garden welcomes visitors from across the world to tour the home of the novel’s real-life heroine.
In celebration of Lilac Girls 10th anniversary, you’re invited to spend September 26 exploring the property’s fascinating history—plus enjoy an afternoon tea, a chance to meet Martha Hall Kelly, and other surprises!
