Friends of Patton Homestead, Inc

The Friends of Patton Homestead, Inc (FPH) is a private 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation which is independent of the Town of Hamilton. In late 2021, FPH adopted the name “Friends of Patton Homestead ” to more accurately reflect the inclusivity of its reach.

The mission of Friends of Patton Homestead is to preserve history, honor veterans, and to welcome community. It is dedicated to supporting and preserving the historic Patton Homestead as a valued community asset and to helping to provide educational, recreational and cultural opportunities to local and regional residents.

The vision of FPH is that the Patton Homestead is a historic place where families, the community and Veterans enrich their lives through cultural events, seasonal festivals, military focused programming, Veterans’ gatherings, social events and retreats.

In August 2018 the FPH signed a Memorandum of Agreement with the Town of Hamilton to formalize its role in working with the Town on a wide variety of matters related to the property (strategic planning, operating & capital budgets, fundraising, reporting to Town meeting, etc).

The Board of Directors of the Friends of Patton Homestead, Inc is:

• Leandra DeFeo, President (Hamilton)

• Marc Johnson, Treasurer (Hamilton)

• Maj. Paul Cancelliere [US Army -Ret.] (Wakefield)

• Deborah Bai-Lannon (Hamilton)

• Kim Cassella, Vice President (Topsfield)
