the Oxmoor mansion and farm; the president and CEO of the Filson is a member of this committee, as are Bullitt family members. Through Mr. Bullitt's estate, the Filson received generous support to develop and enhance programming and research in line with Mr. Bullitt's general interests in philanthropy, education, preservation, and Kentucky history. A subsequent agreement with the Bullitt family provided the Filson with complete title to the important collection of Bullitt family papers, spanning over two centuries of life at Oxmoor, and generously endowed additional funding for scholarship, archiving, and programming expenses. As an important component of the relationship with Oxmoor, the Filson conducts several annual programs and events at Oxmoor. Oxmoor, and a surrounding parcel of land, are owned in trust and managed by a trustee, and are protected in perpetuity through a Commonwealth of Kentucky preservation easement administered by the Kentucky Heritage Council.
