The afternoon program will be presented by Jacqueline Haun, Library Archivist for the Lawrenceville School, on the history of the Lawrenceville School and the Mershon connection to the school. Included in the program is a short walking tour of the school including “The Old Brick,” a historic house owned by Mershon family members for 137 years from 1755 to 1892.
Following the Lawrenceville School program, we will travel to the Lawrenceville Cemetery for a short remembrance service at the grave of Henry Mershon II. September 20th will be the 270th anniversary of his death in 1738.

We will carpool from the Palmer Inn at 6:30 p.m. We will order individually from the menu, so you do not have to pay for the meal when you fill out the Registration from for the Reunion. Please mark the Registration form for dinner, if you plan to attend, so we can make the proper reservations at the restaurant.
