Cornelia Bewersdorf

Cornelia has been with the Hyland House since 2019. Inspired by the Early Guilford Days, she started volunteering and making costumes. Cornelia is inspired by the way history is embraced by the Hyland House. She believes that living history is the most effective and most fun way to educate children and adults.
