The first great collection of Old World Master paintings in the United States was housed for 13 years at the Riversdale mansion in Prince George’s County at the beginning of the 19th century after Henry Joseph Stier, guardian of the Peeters family collection, fled French Republican troops entering Antwerp.

Come learn more about the paintings, the 200th anniversary of this historic event, and what is being done to celebrate it. Prince George’s County Historian, Susan Pearl will be presenting.
