History

Mary Elizabeth Rosencrantz was born in the Hermitage and lived there until her death in 1970 at age 85. Unmarried and one of the last descendants of Elijah Rosencrantz, who purchased the Hermitage in 1807, she recognized the historical value of her home and willed it to the State of New Jersey for use as a museum and park. Around 1890, she posed with a favorite doll near the house's south veranda.
