HILL-STEAD AT-A-GLANCE<br />
<strong>Hill</strong>-<strong>Stead</strong> offers the public more than<br />
1,000 programs and activities annually,<br />
for all ages.<br />
Volunteers are a high priority. Over 150<br />
volunteers help us get our work done.<br />
Art and decorative collections — masterpieces<br />
by the French Impressionists, 3,500<br />
family-collected objects — get top billing.<br />
<strong>Hill</strong>-<strong>Stead</strong> stewards historic structures, 19<br />
intact period rooms, ornamental gardens,<br />
woodland trails, a pond ecosystem, outdoor<br />
classrooms and a 19,000 document archive,<br />
and features them in a wide variety of<br />
public programs.<br />
With ten buildings dating from 1765 to<br />
1940 and 152 acres of designed landscape,<br />
preservation and cyclical maintenance<br />
projects rate among our highest priorities.<br />

Perhaps the most notable event that occurred in the last year was<br />
the January 2009 arrival of our new Director and CEO, Sue<br />
Sturtevant. Our search underscored the many strengths that reside<br />
at <strong>Hill</strong>-<strong>Stead</strong>. First and foremost, Cindy Cormier and Marie Dalton-Meyer<br />
performed wonderfully as Interim Co-Directors during the search period<br />
and both were finalists for the position, demonstrating the high quality of<br />
our staff and the strength of the resultant management team. Second,<br />
the Search Committee was "blown away" by the depth and talent of the<br />
applicant pool which spanned the globe! Finally, as we entered a period<br />
of economic turmoil, the management team, during a period of transition,<br />
ably managed <strong>Hill</strong>-<strong>Stead</strong>. While we did experience an operating deficit of approximately $150,000<br />
during FY2009, the newly formed management team quickly took steps to contain the 2009 deficit<br />
and to ensure a balanced budget for FY2010.<br />
Maintaining the quality of programming and the grounds remained a top priority in spite of the<br />
economic challenges facing all not-for-profit institutions, and our efforts paid off. Over 30,000<br />
individuals visited <strong>Hill</strong>-<strong>Stead</strong> in the last fiscal year, which is an increase from the prior two year period.<br />
Visitors took part in house tours, enjoyed lectures and programs, and walked the grounds. The<br />
Sunken Garden Poetry and Music Festival flourished and we continued to attract new and broader<br />
audiences. In the past year, we welcomed more than 100 new members.<br />
As 85% of the operating budget is raised from scratch each year, I can’t thank my fellow Board<br />
members, volunteers and staff enough for their steadfast dedication and persistent support of the<br />
museum. This group makes generous contributions to our <strong>Annual</strong> Fund campaigns, which in our<br />
most recent fiscal year grossed $252,000. I want to express my deepest gratitude to the 2009<br />
Chairs of the Theodate Pope Riddle Society, Holly and Stuart Holden, and to the chair of <strong>Annual</strong><br />
Fund, Kathanne Fowler. We were able to meet our <strong>Annual</strong> Fund goals in both years, albeit adjusted<br />
lower for economic conditions, and I am especially proud that <strong>Hill</strong>-<strong>Stead</strong>'s Board contributed over<br />
40% of these totals.<br />
Our two primary fund raising events, May Market and the Benefit Dinner Auction, were masterfully<br />
organized and presented by <strong>Hill</strong>-<strong>Stead</strong>’s core volunteer group, the <strong>Hill</strong>-<strong>Stead</strong>ers, ably co-chaired in<br />
2009 by Elizabeth Carter and Jane Edwards. These two events raised more than $250,000 in support<br />
of educational programs and day-to-day operations. Kudos to Ingunn Hekneby and Michael<br />
Bassock for so ably serving as Honorary Chairs of the benefit dinner auction and ensuring that the<br />
museum’s most important fundraising event was a resounding financial success.<br />
In closing, I am excited to report that the Trustees, Board and Staff recently completed and<br />
approved a five-year strategic plan which sets the course for a strong and energetic <strong>Hill</strong>-<strong>Stead</strong>.<br />
Included in our plan is the launch of an Endowment/Capital Campaign, and to jump-start our campaign,<br />
<strong>Hill</strong>-<strong>Stead</strong> received a $25,000 challenge grant from an anonymous donor.<br />
<strong>Hill</strong>-<strong>Stead</strong>, with its world-renowned Impressionist art collection, landmark site, landscape and public<br />
programs is a place where art and nature meet in the most pleasant and inspiring ways. Please<br />
come visit soon.<br />

A Place Where Art & Nature Meet 5
When I joined <strong>Hill</strong>-<strong>Stead</strong> <strong>Museum</strong> as Director and CEO in<br />
January 2009, I was captivated by the beauty of the collections<br />
and landscape. As a relative newcomer, I threw<br />
myself into learning everything I could about the history of <strong>Hill</strong>-<strong>Stead</strong><br />
to gain a better sense of this unique National Historic Landmark.<br />
After attending every program available to the public, I was able to<br />
discern five major assets that we offer: a renowned Impressionist<br />
collection, a Colonial Revival house that is an architectural wonder,<br />
a beautiful formal Sunken Garden and three miles of walking trails,<br />
plus 152 acres of pastoral and woodland property and an important agricultural / farming heritage to<br />
interpret and cultivate in new ways.<br />
In the spring of 2009, <strong>Hill</strong>-<strong>Stead</strong> <strong>Museum</strong> began to see a rise in the number of visitors, members<br />
and gift shop sales. As an institution we are becoming increasingly more visible in various media<br />
and the press and are very much an integral part of the Connecticut museum world. Cultivating<br />
new, serious partnerships with different organizations such as Leadership Greater Hartford,<br />
Stanley-Whitman House, CT Historical Society, Greater Hartford Arts Council, Mark Twain House,<br />
Harriet Beecher Stowe Center, Discovery Center and New Britain <strong>Museum</strong> of American Art has<br />
helped build credibility and excitement around our mission and values.<br />
Our capital projects in 2009 were funded by a grant received from the Connecticut Trust which<br />
allowed us to take two important steps toward the preservation of our two barns on the lower<br />
part of the property. The “Assessment of Existing Conditions” report of the barns, completed in<br />
October 2008, is the road map to the stabilization of both barns and will enable us to write grants<br />
for this work. We were also able to hire an architectural historian, Rachel Carley, to amend our 1991<br />
National Landmark Application at the National Park Service. The amended report carefully<br />
describes all of the buildings and the significant landscape features on the estate, not just the Pope<br />
Riddle House. It also changes <strong>Hill</strong>-<strong>Stead</strong>’s designation from a single building to a historic district.<br />
This report is now in the hands of the CT Commission on Culture & Tourism's Historic Preservation<br />
Office, who will get it to Washington for us. A major capital improvement project well underway is<br />
the installation of a sophisticated fire detection and suppression system funded through major<br />
grants from the Maximilian E. & Marion O. Hoffman and William and Alice Mortensen Foundations,<br />
and the US Department of Housing and Urban Development. This major improvement will preserve<br />
the historic house, rich archives, priceless collections and important business files far into the future.<br />
More than 2,500 students from around the region representing schools K–college visited <strong>Hill</strong>-<strong>Stead</strong><br />
in 2009. The students and their teachers were here for an extended period of time, taking full<br />
advantage of the property and resources. We are proud that there is such a high rate of repeat<br />
visitation. In addition, we have poets-in-residence based at two Hartford high schools, A. I. Prince<br />
Technical and Greater Hartford Classical Magnet School. Our education programs at the museum<br />
are supported in part by SBM Charitable Foundation and Farmington Bank. We receive support for<br />
our Poetry Outreach Program from Ellen Jeanne Goldfarb Memorial Trust and Lincoln Financial.<br />
6 <strong>Hill</strong>-<strong>Stead</strong> <strong>Museum</strong>
Just checking our website, www.hillstead.org, gives a complete idea of all the public programs<br />
that are offered here. They range from nature walks for all ages to the Sunken Garden Poetry and<br />
Music Festival to summer adventure programs for children and new letterboxing and family backpack<br />
activities. The museum also has a strong online presence with its internationally-read nature blog<br />
at hillsteadblog.wordpress.com and its Facebook page at www.facebook.com/hillsteadmuseum.<br />
I’m convinced that <strong>Hill</strong>-<strong>Stead</strong> has something for everyone. Please make time to come back for a<br />
visit and find out what you can gain from the full <strong>Hill</strong>-<strong>Stead</strong> experience.<br />

COLLECTIONS & ARCHIVES<br />
Accomplishments in <strong>FY09</strong><br />
New low-voltage, white halogen painting lights<br />
were installed on 8 of the museum’s 19 major<br />
works of art. In contrast to the old fixtures – frame<br />
lights with incandescent bulbs installed by the first<br />
<strong>Museum</strong> Director in 1951 – these lights allow for true<br />
color rendition, and illuminate the entire canvas.<br />
Collections review was completed in the period<br />
rooms. Since the project began in January 2000,<br />
nearly 3,300 items have been examined, described,<br />
numbered individually, photographed and logged into<br />
the collections database. Many interns and volunteers<br />
spent countless hours assisting with this project.<br />
The Sonia Osborn<br />
<strong>Museum</strong> Studies<br />
Internship, developed<br />
between <strong>Hill</strong>-<strong>Stead</strong> and<br />
Westover School, was<br />
launched in April 2009.<br />
In honor of Westover’s<br />
long time art history teacher, Sonia Osborn, the internship<br />
is intended for junior or senior AP Art History<br />
students looking to pursue in-depth study. During<br />
their time at the museum, each student must work<br />
on a collections project, research a piece in <strong>Hill</strong>-<br />
<strong>Stead</strong>'s collection, and explore a subject of her<br />
choosing that illustrates the <strong>Hill</strong>-<strong>Stead</strong>–Westover<br />
connection.<br />
