🏛️ Historical Significance

The Florence Scott Libbey 419 Race celebrates Toledo history and the icons who helped make T-Town great! Florence Scott Libbey and her husband Edward Drummond Libbey founded the Toledo Museum of Art. Florence was the daughter and heiress of the wealthy Maurice and Mary Jane (Tallant) Scott and granddaughter of Jesup Scott, founder of the University of Toledo.

Following Edward Libbey's death in 1925, Mrs. Libbey remained an active contributor to Toledo culture. The Libbey home at 2008 Scottwood is managed by The Libbey House Foundation and is listed as a National Historic Landmark.
