Abstract:
The Minnette C. Duffy Award is the state's highest award for preservation, restoration, or maintenance of grounds related to historic structures. The Bethania Historical Association, Inc. received the 1991 award. Along with fifty surrounding acres, Bethania, founded in 1759, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975. To prevent the loss of historic land to development, the association recently added 500 acres of surrounding landscape to its National Register District.
