Set in the picturesque Litchfield Hills in historic Woodbury's village center, the Glebe House Museum offers the visitor a glimpse of Revolutionary War era Connecticut. The simple but elegant 18th century farmhouse is furnished as the home of the Reverend John Marshall, his wife Sarah, and their nine children who lived in the "glebe" during the turmoil of the American war for Independence. Today, the Glebe House Museum and Jekyll Garden is a non-profit educational institution that seeks to make itself available to everyone as a unique historical, religious, and cultural landmark by preserving its heritage and providing programs and opportunities for education, research, and reflection.

Museums exist to cultivate connections. Museums educate visitors, preserve objects, tell stories, create intrigue, and generate curiosity while providing an accessible, relevant, credible space for these exchanges to occur.

It’s a tall order to cultivate varied connections within our communities, which requires continued reflection, learning, resources, change, and intentional engagement. As we approach the United States’s 250th anniversary, let’s reflect on how museums are sites for conversations and civic involvement, how representation can connect rather than fragment people, how museum professionals create a sense of shared identity, and even how museums are simply powerful, tangible, places within our communities.

How are you cultivating connections

We hope you will join us at the 2024 Annual Conference hosted by the Utah Museums Association in partnership with the Utah Division of Arts & Museums.
