Hill-Stead Museum’s core volunteer group
Join The Hill-Steaders and make new friends while enriching community life. This lively group supports the museum in areas of education, fundraising and outreach. Two volunteer-organized events are key to the museum’s health—an annual dinner auction and May Market. Volunteers are needed for numerous additional programs—whether for an afternoon or on a continuing basis. For more information contact Marie Dalton-Meyer at 860.677.4787 ext 130 or dalton-meyerm@hillstead.org.

Accomplishments
The Hill-Steaders annually raise approximately 20% of the museum’s operating budget. Additionally, their annual dinner auction’s “cause within a cause” helps pay for important capital upgrades—repairing 174 original shutters, constructing ADA access to the Sunken Garden and restoring Hill-Stead’s allée of maple trees.

Activities
Hill-Stead’s calendar offers many opportunities to get involved—family festivals, a holiday party for members, decorating the period rooms, gardening and much more. In addition, The Hill-Steaders hold five organizational coffees a year, where members enjoy presentations by experts. Talks on Feng Shui and art, an antiques “road show” and readings were recent features.
