Description

Come celebrate Helena Modjeska’s birthday at her historic home of Arden!

Modjeska was one of the America’s most famous Shakespearean actresses of the late 19th century. Her home, designed in 1888 by renowned New York architect Stanford White, is one of two National Historic Landmarks in Orange County.
