Liz and Dan Gleason from Haddon Heights, New Jersey, were visiting for the 20th time when they commented that it was the first time they had taken the house tour—one of the staples of the Mohonk Mountain House experience.
I asked what they had been doing all those years. Liz replied: “There’s just so much to do all the time, you can’t fit it all in. Every year, there’s a new surprise. This year, it’s the Smiley family parlor.”
