Libbey House Announces Spring Lecture Series: Focus on the “Libbey Legacy of Education”
In celebration of the 100th anniversary of Libbey High School and the 150th anniversary of the founding of the University of Toledo, the Libbey House Foundation will host lectures on the two institutions and their connections to the Libbey family.
A Legacy Not Forgotten: Edward Drummond Libbey’s Influence on Toledo Public Education and the Significance of Libbey High School
Lecture by Sue Terrill, Libbey High School alum, will present “A Legacy Not Forgotten: Edward Drummond Libbey’s Influence on Toledo Public Education and the Significance of Libbey High School,” on Tuesday, April 18, at 7 p.m. The talk will discuss Mr. Libbey’s service on the Toledo Board of Education in the early 1900s, and the impact Libbey High School had on the alumni and the City. Terrill was a vocal advocate for preserving the school, which was demolished in 2012.
A special reception to celebrate the birthday of Edward Drummond Libbey will take place prior to the lecture at 6:30 p.m.
Space is limited to the first 50 people. Sign up soon to reserve your place.
All lectures will begin with a reception at 6:30 and lecture at 7:00 p.m. in the first floor parlor of the Libbey House, located in Toledo’s Historic Old West End at 2008 Scottwood.
The cost of each lecture is $10, and includes the reception prior to the talk. Proceeds from the lectures will help fund a major restoration project for the Libbey House that will begin in the Summer, 2023.
