As a charitable non-profit corporation, THE FRIENDS OF CEDARMERE, INC., strive to build membership and solicit tax-deductible grants and donations, either financial or in-kind, to maintain Cedarmere's historic gardens. We also work to re-open historically significant rooms in the main building and the Mill for various uses, including:
performances
workshops
special exhibits
research programs
lectures and tours
other site-appropriate functions and events
In addition, The Friends of Cedarmere Inc. assist and advise Nassau County with respect to increasing public awareness and appreciation of the historical, cultural and environmental heritage of Cedarmere, and its brilliant and influential former owner, William Cullen Bryant - the prominent 19th century poet, newspaper editor and civic leader.
