Gifts Already Made

You may already have included Mitchelville in your estate plan. We’d like to thank you and invite you to join the Dr. Benjamin Williams Legacy Society.

Dr. Benjamin Williams Legacy Society

The late Dr. Benjamin Williams was an educator and historian, and a prolific speaker and writer. He used his talents to enhance awareness and to help develop the Mitchelville Preservation Project.

Dr. Williams was passionate about Mitchelville. He envisioned a destination where children and adults would gather to learn about this important part of American History.

Named in his honor, this Legacy Society in turn honors individuals who have made a commitment to Historic Mitchelville Freedom Park in their will or living trust (minimum $35,000). You can inspire others to follow your lead.

Other benefits include a personal thank you from HMFP’s Executive Director and Board Chair, a donor recognition digital badge, and free access to will and estate planning tools and resources.
