Montgomery, NY – The Friends of Hill-Hold Fund was recently established within the Community Foundation of Orange and Sullivan with a donation from the Helen C. Bell Charitable Remainder Trust to support the Hill-Hold Museum and the Amy Bull Crist Education Center.

The Friends of Hill-Hold and Brick House wish to preserve Amy Bull Crist’s lifelong effort to educate Orange County residents concerning our rich local heritage. Amy Bull Crist devoted countless hours and energy toward educating the children of Orange County and preserving Orange County’s vast history. A new educational center in Amy Bull Crist’s name would be used for visiting school groups, hands on teaching, adult workshops and lectures, a gift shop, and ticket sales.

The Friends of Hill-Hold welcome any new members interested in joining them. Please visit their website at www.hillholdandbrickhouse.org for more information.

Contributions to the Friends of Hill-Hold Fund may be made to CFOS-The Friends of Hill-Hold Fund and sent to the Community Foundation of Orange and Sullivan, 30 Scott’s Corners Drive, Suite 202, Montgomery, NY 12549.
