Bernheim Literary Society
What is the Society?
Bernheim Literary Society members are a special group of people who support the Mt. Pleasant Literary Festival with a $50 monetary donation. Stay tuned for events, opportunities for input, and fun!
Why “Bernheim”?
Lisette Clayton Bernheim Hood and her father, Rev. Gotthardt Dellman Bernheim, were distinguished educators at Mont Amoena Female Seminary (1859-1927) in Mt. Pleasant, and the school’s literary society was named for the latter. Reviving the “Bernheim Literary Society” pays homage to Mt. Pleasant’s history as an educational center and “oasis of culture” and recognizes the contributions of community leaders who support learning and the arts.
