1948 Ball in the Cameo Ballroom

On April 15, 1948, The Greenbrier — which had been transformed into an Army hospital during World War II, before receiving a makeover from renowned New York decorator Dorothy Draper — reopened to the public with a grand party, which included a memorable ball in Cameo Ballroom. Life Magazine called the party, “The most lavish on-the-house party of the century,” and guests included the Duke and Duchess of Windsor, Bing Crosby and members of the Kennedy, DuPont, Pulitzer and Vanderbilt families. That party will be recreated with a ball that includes music, dancing, fine fashion, drinks and celebration, just as it was more than 75 years ago.
