Class of 1966

Susan Inglis Seal retired from a long career in high-end residential real estate sales in 2010. After retirement and aside from enjoying her children and grandchildren, she put her efforts into saving Odell House Rochambeau Headquarters near her home in Hartsdale, N.Y. The house was built in 1732. It stayed untouched in the Odell family until the late 20th century. It was where Gen. Rochambeau stayed for six weeks in 1781 while he met with George Washington. The house stayed boarded up and neglected for 50+ years. Susan convinced her local town government to take ownership and title on March 4, 2020. Despite the pandemic, plans are moving ahead to create a museum by the 250th anniversary of the Revolutionary War. The house is part of the National Park Service Washington-Rochambeau Revolutionary Route (WARO). More information at odellrochambeau.org. Susan can be reached at [email protected].
