🏛️ History of Florence Scott Libbey

The Florence Scott Libbey 419 Race celebrates Toledo history and the icons who helped make T-Town great! Florence Scott Libbey, along with her husband Edward Drummond Libbey, founded the Toledo Museum of Art. Together, their legacy continues on today.

Florence married Edward Libbey in 1890, two years after he arrived in Toledo to relocate his glass company. In 1895 the Libbey's built their home in Toledo's fashionable Old West End Neighborhood, at 2008 Scottwood Avenue. In 1912 the Toledo Museum of Art was built on land donated by the Libbey's.
