Durand-Hedden House & Garden

Join Durand-Hedden as noted historic document expert Stuart Lutz leads an illustrated talk on antique manuscripts on Sunday, May 17, from 1:30 pm to 3 pm, at Durand-Hedden House in Maplewood. Lutz will discuss what is available, pricing, and the question he gets most of all: “How do you know it is real?”
Lutz has been operating his business from South Orange for 35 years and makes frequent appearances on the History Channel’s hit show Pawn Stars. He is one of the few experts in the US who can authenticate documents and autographs. Lutz will demystify the work of a professional document and manuscript collector and seller, and display documents related to the Revolutionary War, the Civil War, and the Vietnam War, as well as those associated with famous figures. Lutz’s Vietnam collection is the largest in private hands.
The talk will include a general Q&amp;A. However, we ask that participants not bring documents to be assessed or evaluated. 
Lutz’s oral history book, The Last Leaf: Voices of History’s Last-Known Survivors,&nbsp;will be available for sale and autographing at the conclusion.
While this event is free, please consider purchasing a donation ticket. All donations are welcome, appreciated, and support Durand-Hedden's mission, upkeep, and community events. Both complimentary and donation tickets are available at <a href="https://www.durandhedden.org/event-details/authenticating-documents-lutz?utm_source=patch&amp;utm_medium=community&amp;utm_campaign=lutz_may2026&amp;utm_content=calendar_listing" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">DurandHedden.org</a>. Parking for Durand-Hedden House is available on nearby streets. 
The House and the Country Store will be open from 1 pm to 4 pm.
