GLH History: The first-ever Grace Livingston Hill exhibit opened on October 6, 2012 at Cairn University in Langhorne, PA. 

The roots of this school go back to Grace’s day, when The Grace Livingston Hill Memorial Library was established in her memory in 1948. This exhibit coincided with the University’s Homecoming Celebration and was the inaugural exhibit of their new museum gallery.

On display were several of Grace’s books, a pen used to sign book contracts and a few original contracts, too. Letters, cover art, and Grace’s own Bible were also part of the exhibit. And best of all—an oil painting by artist Walter Stewart. Mr. Stewart painted many of the oils used for early GLH dust jackets and knew Grace personally. This lovely portrait is the only color image known to exist. The family photos in Grace’s albums are all black-and-white, so this is truly a treasure.

The opening of the exhibit featured two lectures by Grace’s grandson, Robert Munce and was very well attended. While the exhibit is now closed, it’s great to know that the University continues to honor the legacy of Grace Livingston Hill.
