The Arabella and Henry Huntington Heritage Society

In 1919, Henry Huntington made the momentous decision to leave a legacy to the American public. After several years of developing extraordinary gardens and building important collections of art, books and manuscripts, he and his wife, Arabella, signed the legal documents which would assure the fulfillment of this dream. After their deaths, their private esate would be transformed into a public institution, operating on an endowment that Mr. Huntington provided in his Will. The permanent endowment provides ongoing support for the important cultural institution that bears his name.

People today use similar basic legal instruments -- wills and trusts -- to accomplish their annual gifts and in the plans they make to benefit this institution in the future. We salute and honor the members of the Arabella and Henry Huntington Heritage Society as keepers of an important tradition that sustains and advances the work of the Huntington Library, Art Collections and Botanical Gardens.

The Heritage Society was established to express appreciation and to acknowledge the generous supporters whose estate plans benefit The Huntington.

Charitable Gift Annuities, Charitable Remainder Trusts, bequests, trust arrangements, and other gifts commonly called "deferred gifts" or "planned gifts" qualify you as a member of the Heritage Society.
