Preservation

In 1963, Mrs. Harry Clark Boden, IV fulfilled a lifelong dream when she bought Mount Harmon. She hired Albert Kruse, AIA, restoration architect of the Court House in New Castle, Delaware, to restore the manor house to the period of 1760 - 1810 when her direct ancestors of the Louttit and George families lived there. Mount Harmon has been in the public domain since 1974 when Mrs. Boden donated it to a national preservation organization so that it would be maintained and opened to the public in the future.

In 1997, Friends of Mount Harmon, Inc. became the owners of Mount Harmon. Their mission is to preserve and interpret the plantation for the enjoyment of visitors.
