The Homer Gibbs Legacy Society

Building on the philanthropy of generous individuals and civic groups that helped to found Cheekwood in 1960, members of the Legacy Society play an important role in helping to preserve this Nashville treasure, planning for the next 50 years with the same ambition that came before us.

By supporting Cheekwood through a planned gift, you automatically become a member of Cheekwood’s Legacy Society. This group of Cheekwood supporters share the common interest of preserving the heritage of this beloved place for generations to come by leaving a legacy that ensures those who follow will continue to enjoy Cheekwood’s treasures.

There are several ways to support Cheekwood through your estate. To discuss options, please contact Elizabeth Sheets, Chief External Relations Officer, at 615-353-6995 or esheets@cheekwood.org.

“Cheekwood is a real jewel in Nashville’s crown, and I’ve been proud to be involved here for nearly 50 years. The art, the history, the beauty of the grounds all come together to make Cheekwood a simply magical place, and I can think of no better legacy to leave than one that will keep that magic going.” – Homer B. Gibbs, Jr.
