Glebe House Museum Receives 1772 Foundation Grant

Woodbury, CT — The 1772 Foundation, in cooperation with Preservation Connecticut, has

awarded the Glebe House Museum a matching grant in the amount of $10,000 to assist

the organization with the exterior repairs and painting of the Glebe House c.1745.This

program is a collaborative historic preservation technical assistance program of

Preservation Connecticut and the 1772 Foundation.

The Seabury Society for the Preservation of the Glebe House, Inc., is the official name of

the non-profit entity responsible for the care and maintenance of the historic site. Funds to

match the 1772 Foundation Award and complete the project were raised through the

generosity of many local donors. Residents and visitors of Woodbury’s historic Hollow

Road will see the project completed this summer.

“As we celebrate 101 years, we remain committed to preserving our beautiful historic site,

finding new and exciting ways to connect with our community, and

providing engaging experiences for our visitors.

Through this funding, we will complete a project that protects the structure of the

Glebe House and the unique collection contained within,

ensuring its survival for future generations.

This important funding has put our goal within reach. We are grateful for the support.” –

LoriAnn Witte, Director
