Ferris Hills and Clark Meadows Men's Group enjoys presentation by Tom Mees on Sonnenberg History Ferris Hills and Clark Meadows Men's Group enjoys presentation by Tom Mees on Sonnenberg History KristenMeyer / Wednesday, July 30, 2025 0 2004 Ferris Hills resident Tom Mees recently gave a fascinating presentation on the history of Sonnenberg Gardens & Mansion State Historic Park to our men's group. With a deep appreciation for local history and a true gift for storytelling, Tom had the audience captivated by his knowledge of this local gem. In addition to sharing historical insights, Tom enocuraged anyone interested in volunteering at Sonnenberg to get involved - help is always welcome! One interesting question came up during the discussion: How did Sonnenberg get its name? Tom explained that "Sonnenberg," meaning Sunny Hill in German, was the postal name of the property when it was purchased. Fittingly, the estate sits at the crest of Fort Hill Avenue. Tom also shared the story of how Fred and Mary Thompson met: at Mary's father's farewell banquet ball in Albany, NY. At the time, her father was serving as Governor of New York State. It was love at first sight. Just six months later, Fred and Mary were married in the Clark family home, located behind the United Church on Gibson Street. Read more
