To commemorate our sesquicentennial next year, Peerless Rockville has launched it’s first ever Peerless Places Commemorative Ornament featuring the internationally famous Chestnut Lodge Building along with Frieda’s Cottage and the Little Lodge. Since fire ravaged and destroyed Chestnut Lodge this past year, it is only fitting to honor our most famous lost historic treasure.

The regular price is $24.95 but if you order in advance before February 15, 2010, it’s $19.95. Ornaments are available for pickup at Peerless Rockville or by mail starting on March 10, 2010. Proceeds will benefit Peerless’ educational programs and preservation work.

Here is the Order Form with more details.

I can’t wait to get mine. Since our honeymoon, we’ve collected ornaments from every trip and family milestone yet we have none from Rockville.

New Year’s Day Party

If you are in a celebratory mood, Peerless Rockville is having their annual New Year’s Day Brunch:

Friday, January 1, 2010
11 AM -2 PM
Historic Glenview Mansion, 603 Edmonston Drive
Peerless members $10; non-members $15

From the Peerless Rockville invitation:

Begin the New Year with Peerless Rockville as we celebrate the 150th Anniversary of the City of Rockville. Guests will enjoy a buffet brunch, music, raffle prizes, and a special program at 1 PM. Peerless encourages guests to wear historic attire or an heirloom. Please bring a dish or dessert to share.

Sounds like a historic fashion show too!
