​A Special Thank You!

​As we close out 2022, we extend our immense thanks to all of you.
Over the last year, we’ve seen renewed attention to and support of the irreplaceable Richard Morris Hunt’s 1872 'Jewel of Beacon'.
The Howland Cultural Center is successful because of you—musicians, artists, lovers of the arts and preservation, sponsors, friends, tourists, our community and especially to all of our individual volunteers.

Thank you for helping us celebrate the #Howland150 this year!
Join us in the new year as we continue ​to champion programs for all — building our future while honoring our past.

​"Being generous of spirit is a wonderful way to live." -Pete Seeger

The Architect
Richard Morris Hunt, the preeminent American architect of the 19th Century designed this masterpiece as the Howland Circulating Library in 1872. It was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973 and reopened as the Howland Cultural Center in 1979.

The Philanthropist
​
General Joseph & Eliza Newton Woolsey Howland commissioned their brother-in-law Richard Morris Hunt to design the Howland Circulating Library along with designing the grand music room addition at their Howland Estate just south of the library building.
