Estate planning is way too important to neglect. Do not trust non-attorneys or online services to handle your estate plan – the consequences may be dire. The choice of a lawyer is an important decision and should not be based solely upon advertisements.

Estate Planning: 5 Essential Things You Should Know

The Woodland

Join Durand-Hedden for The People’s House? The Reality of Personal Taste in the White House, a talk with Ulysses Grant Dietz. Dietz will survey how the interiors at the White House have changed from the 1817 rebuilding after the 1814 burning, to the sixty-six years since the Kennedy renovations of 1960. Historical images will underscore the reality that no administration has ever left the White House alone, all making changes to represent their vision of home, and how the president and his family would be represented in the world. 
Dietz worked with the Newark Museum for 37 years, much of that time as Curator of Decorative Arts. He is the author of books on Victorian furniture, art pottery, studio ceramics, jewelry, and the White House. He is the great-great-grandson of U.S. President Ulysses S. Grant.
Doors will open at 1:30 pm on Sunday, October 11, and the talk will begin at 2 pm at The Woodland Parlor, 60 Woodland Road in Maplewood. Pre-registration is requested and available at <a href="https://www.durandhedden.org/dhh-events/peoples-house?utm_source=patch&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_campaign=peoples_house_oct2026&amp;utm_content=paid-calendar_listing" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">DurandHedden.org</a>. The talk will be followed by a reception with light refreshments at Durand Hedden House, 523 Ridgewood Road, Maplewood.
Durand-Hedden House &amp; Garden Members should choose Member tickets, with additional event-specific donations always welcome. The event is free for all, but non-members are asked to consider making a donation when getting tickets to support the House, grounds, and our programming. Information on Membership is available on our website. Membership starts at just $25 a year.
Parking for Durand-Hedden House is available on nearby streets.
