The
mission of The Speaker’s House is to celebrate
the heritage and home of Frederick Muhlenberg, the
first Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives,
and create programs to inspire leadership and civic
engagement in the timeless issues of our nation.
In
1999 a grassroots effort led by local citizens saved
from demolition the former residence of Frederick Muhlenberg.
After gaining non-profit status, the board embarked
on an awareness-raising campaign in order to raise the
funds necessary to purchase the building. The first
fund raising event was hosted by then-Speaker of the
House Dennis Hastert.
In
2006, the Montgomery County Commissioners granted
The Speaker’s House $415,000 to purchase the
1.9 acre property and house through the Green Towns/Green
Fields program, placing the property under a conservation
easement in order to ensure that it is permanently
preserved as open space.
