| Geraldine R. Dodge (PLACEHOLDER IMAGE) |
This handsome
room has been dedicated to Geraldine Rockefeller Dodge
(1882-1973), daughter of William and Almira Goodsell Rockefeller,
wife
of Marcellus Hartly Dodge, and community-minded resident
of Madison, New Jersey. During her lifetime, Mrs. Dodge
provided money and land in order to see Madison not only
grow but
flourish, and established Saint Hubert’s Giralda,
a local animal shelter, in 1937.
The “Dodge Room,” founded
as a permanent memorial for Mrs. Dodge in 1975, is home to
a number of paintings and sculpture that reflect her life
and keen interest in community and animal welfare.
