It was a great day at Pearl S. Buck International this past Saturday with a reunion of four of Pearl Buck’s children on what would have been Pearl S. Buck's 118th birthday. Henriette Walsh-Wilson visited from San Francisco for the first time in 20 years with her husband, Sandy, and their son, Jonathan. Henriette was greeted by her brothers Richard and John and sister Janice. It was an incredible day. I actually felt emotional seeing them all together. Henriette had great memories that we had not heard before, typical of a daughter, in terms of patterns of silver, stemware, and locations of paintings etc. John and Richard saw their re-created bedrooms for the first time since our renovation was completed this past April. Our curator, Donna Rhodes, was writing the entire time we toured the house to capture their remarks. Henriette’s husband, Sandy, is part of the Alexander String Quartet, (http://www.asq4.com/), and he said he would love to perform here sometime in the future. What a wonderful day for the family to come together and walk through their childhood home. It is a day I will always remember.

Starting our blog
Welcome! This is the beginning of a blog that will be written by the management team at Pearl S. Buck International to inform the public about happenings at Pearl S. Buck International. We agree this is an amazing place to work with many great things going on each day, yet we feel that we are the best kept secret in Bucks County. From this day forward, we hope to share with you more about the exciting legacy of Pearl S. Buck which continues here in Hilltown Township, Bucks County, PA, USA.
This week, we have an exciting event before us. On Thursday evening, June 24th, 5-7pm, we will be hosting a business member's reception and networking event in our garden tent. This is open to business people in our area. It is the second year we hosted this networking event which provides a great way for us to showcase our beautiful gardens, the Pearl S. Buck House, and our membership program. You can register to attend at www.pearlsbuck.org/businessreception.
All for now,
