CALDWELL, NJ - In an act of generosity, the Women's Club of Caldwell presented a $50,000 donation to the Grover Cleveland Birthplace Memorial Association on Friday during the annual July 4 Ice Cream Social. According to the Association's President Dr. David A. Cowell, the gift will be used for the building of the new Visitor's Center which will be housed in the restored Carriage House to the rear of the Cleveland house. The Women's Club gift was meant to be a lead grant to promote fundraising for the Visitor Center among other service, community and historical groups.

Gathered for the occasion along with Cowell was the Association's Board Member Alice Gibson. The Women's Club President Nancy Howley was present as well along with members Carol Crump, Elaine Denman, Beverly Sannito, Connie Shick and Gloria Teshkoyan. 

"The Visitor's Center will be built in the restored and adapted Carriage House,"
Cowell commented. "This is a three year project
that will provide for a large interpretation space, a conference room,
restrooms and a gift shop. It's all designed to conserve the Carriage House, provide for increased heritage tourism, offer community meeting spaces,
a social space, and the need for restrooms at the Presidential Birthplace."

The Grover Cleveland House Museum is state owned and is managed by the NJ Department of Environmental Protection under its division of State Parks, Forests and Historic Sites.
