The Woodstock Foundation has picked up another residential property to add to its local holdings – this time by a donation of a historic home from one of its board members.
The recent foundation chair, James S. Sligar, and his longtime wife, Diana M. Sattelberger, made a decision to donate a home at 106 Kendall Road in South Woodstock to the foundation, according to David Simmons, the board president.
“It’s a complete donation,” Simmons told the Vermont Standard this week. “It was a total outright gift.”
Simmons said he expects the property will be used to house another key member of the Billings Farm & Museum staff. The property is about five miles away, he said.
The donated property includes 11.12 acres with the two-bedroom home built in 1794, real estate records show.
The Woodstock Foundation and its subsidiaries play a major role in the economic engine of the Woodstock region. About 600 people are employed through the operation of the Woodstock Inn & Resort, the Woodstock Country Club, and the Saskadena Six Ski Area (formerly Suicide Six), along with the Billings Farm & Museum.
