"The Friends of Mead Hall was established in 1999 by the Drew University Board of Trustees to ensure the continuing preservation of Mead Hall, a state and national architectural landmark. Constructed between 1833 and 1836, this Greek revival mansion is one of the most eminent examples of that style in the country.
Through a wide range of educational events and programs, the Friends seek to encourage greater public awareness of and support for the University’s signature building and its historical significance to the greater community."
The Friends of Mead Hall is not currently meeting.
