Thank you to the McPherson Family!

​

The Mather Homestead Foundation thanks the McPherson family (descendants of the Mather Family) for their generous contribution of the Mather Homestead and its six acres of property in 2017, plus an additional acre of property in 2021, for the benefit of the Darien community.   

 

The family has maintained and preserved the Mather Homestead for over two and a half centuries.  Now, future generations will enjoy the homestead and be educated about its important place in Darien's rich history.    

 

Thank you to the Chilton Family!

​

The Mather Homestead Foundation thanks the Chilton family whose generous contributions have made possible the creation of the Mather Homestead Foundation in 2017, the building of the Elizabeth W. Chilton Education Center in 2020, the seeding of the new endowment in 2021 which will ensure the long time sustainability of the Mather Homestead, and the creation of the Stephen Tyng Mather exhibit in 2022.
