Please take a moment to consider our Annual Appeal

What does The Henderson Cultural Center at Hunt Hill Farm provide for you and our community? The short answer is “a surprising variety of truly unique cultural events for everyone”.

Here’s just a sampling of what we provided in 2009 to more than 5,000 local families and friends:

  Cooking School Classes - Musical Performances
        Preservation Activities - Camps for Kids
  Our Wine and Beer Fest - Our Annual Barbeque
    Student Art Gallery - Smithsonian Programs
      Scholarships for Classes and Programs
          Free Artist-in-Residence Program
          Free Gallery Shows & Artist Talks
Skitch Henderson Museum & Property Tours (on 129 acres preserved for future generations)

Plus we hosted events for other organizations including:

          New Milford Hospital Family Day
    Smithsonian Museum Day - Heritage Walks
          Area Schools Holiday Concerts
    CT Open House Day - CHAIRish The Arts
        Locally Grown History Program
          Northville Residence Meeting
          Girl Scout & Brownie Classes

These are challenging times for everyone…
and even more so for nonprofit organizations like the Henderson Cultural Center that depend on public support to “do the great things we do”. We need your help to continue to serve our community.
Please keep us at the top of your giving list!
Your contribution to our Annual Fund Appeal will enable us to continue to provide our community with important cultural programs that enrich our lives and instill in our children the values of creativity and skilled effort and the virtues of music, art, cuisine and preservation.

Thank you so much for helping us to preserve the creative legacy of Ruth and Skitch Henderson
begun so many years ago.

We are here for you.
We hope you will be here for us.
