APACC presents ‘Afternoon Tea with Phoebe Hearst,’ April 13
ATASCADERO — Hearst Castle is a state monument dedicated to the memory of two people; “to William Randolph Hearst, who built it, and Phoebe Apperson Hearst, who inspired it.” Everyone has heard of William but who was his mother, Phoebe? Phoebe Apperson Hearst was one of the most influential philanthropists in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. She founded organizations and sponsored innovations that affect Americans every day. The University of California at Berkeley, the PTA, Mount Vernon, and the National Cathedral School are just a few of the institutions that, if not for the “little lady from California,” might not exist for the 21st century public.
