The Libbey House is proud to participate in America250–Ohio and the Time Travelers Passport programs. These initiatives highlight the significant people, places, and moments in our community that helped shape the nation over the past 250 years, connecting our local stories to the broader American narrative. We invite you to visit and discover how Northwest Ohio fits into 250 years of American history—and why it still matters today. Thank you to all our wonderful volunteers, donors and guests for making it a successful year. We have great plans for 2026 in celebration of America250 and hope you can join us for more fun. Libbey House Foundation receives an Ohio Cultural Facilities Grant and a Toledo Façade Improvement Grant for a major restoration project that will stabilize and preserve the home’s historic wrap around front porch. Private donations make up the difference and allows for additional restoration of this historic landmark. Libbey House Receives American Rescue Plan Grant. The Libbey House Foundation has received a grant of $17,500 from funds made possible by the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA). The funds will be used by the foundation to support the maintenance and upkeep of the Libbey House, the home of Edward Drummond Libbey, who brought the glass industry to Toledo in 1888. The Libbey House is the only National Historic Landmark in Toledo. The ARPA funds were awarded through a cooperative program of the Arts Commission of Toledo, the City of Toledo, and the Lucas County Commissioners, and administered by The Arts Commission.
