A Heritage of Service: 250 Years of Patriotism Through One Family

Step into Beltzhoover family at Green Leaves’ remarkable living legacy of courage, sacrifice, and devotion to country

For nearly two centuries, Green Leaves has been more than a home — it has been the heart of a family whose story is deeply woven into the fabric of American history. For seven generations, the Beltzhoover family has answered the call of duty, with sons and daughters serving in almost every war since the birth of our nation.

This special event invites guests to step into that living legacy of courage, sacrifice, and devotion to country. Through treasured uniforms, timeworn letters, original documents, historic weapons, and cherished photographs, the remarkable journey of one family’s patriotism unfolds — from the Revolutionary era to the present day.

As you move through the home where this legacy has endured for 177 years, you’ll experience history not as dates in a book, but as the personal stories of those who served, loved, and returned home. The afternoon concludes with wine and light refreshments, offering time to reflect and connect in a setting rich with heritage and meaning.
