Florence Scott Libbey —
granddaughter of Jesup,

one of Toledo’s founders.
As a lover of art, Florence

urged her husband Edward
to establish an art museum.

In 1901, the Libbey’s founded
the Toledo Museum of Art.

One hundred Toledoans
pledged ten dollars each

to be founding members.
We thank you, Florence.
