Notes |
Mary Mason Scott, the last Brown family resident to live in Liberty Hall, and a Colonial Dame died in 1934. In Scott's 1928 will, she left her home and its contents to her brother John Matthew Scott. She specified in her will that in the event that her brother was not living at the time of her death, Liberty Hall should be left to the Society of the Colonial Dames of America in the State of Kentucky. John M. Scott sold Liberty Hall to a group of concerned citizens (which included Colonial Dames) in 1937. The Colonial Dames began managing the property and opened it as a museum. |
