We are looking forward to hosting the concert this Sunday. Tickets are still available!

Make it a Mother’s Day to remember! 💐

Start with a 10:00 AM guided tour of Oscar’s home at Highland Farm—an intimate experience that takes under an hour, leaving time to grab a quick brunch before the next event.

At 12:00 Noon, head over to the County Theater for a special Mother’s Day singalong screening of The Sound of Music🎶

Can’t make the movie? No problem! Another one-hour tour of Highland Farm will be offered at 2:00 PM—perfect timing to enjoy the charm of Doylestown Borough afterward.

Then, beginning at 3:15 PM, join us at the James-Lorah Memorial Auditorium for “tea with jam and bread,” inspired by Oscar & Dorothy’s favorite afternoon tradition. Enjoy a warm cup and a sweet treat, generously sponsored by Aurora Bistro. ☕🍰

At 4:00 PM, the celebration continues with a special concert by Broadway veteran and Bucks County native Jenny Lee Stern—joined by her daughters! Through beloved Great American Songbook classics, they’ll share stories of family, life on stage, and the joy of being “Together Wherever We Go!” ❤️

Pick just one event or enjoy full day of Hammerstein with Mom!

Wonderful to host this amazing group last night. A Woman's Place serves anyone facing domestic violence in Bucks County.

We are grateful to the VIA of Doylestown for giving us use of the James-Lorah Memorial Home for Tuesday's Night of Remembrance. The space offered the sense of community necessary for this important evening, and the candlelit outdoor portion of our ceremony provided reflection, recognition, reminiscence, and remembrance.

We look forward to sharing more pictures of our event soon.
