Amelia Peabody (philanthropist)
Amelia Peabody (July 3, 1890 – May 31, 1984) was an American philanthropist, sculptor, and breeder. Peabody studied sculpture at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts under Charles Grafly. At her farms, Powisset Farm and Mills Farm in Dover, Massachusetts, she raised registered Hereford cattle, Yorkshire pigs, sheep, and thoroughbred horses. For many years she chaired the Arts and Skills Service of the American Red Cross, which promoted art therapy for wounded servicemen during World War II. On her property in 1948, she financed the construction of one of the world's first solar-heated houses, the Dover Sun House. Amelia Peabody died on May 31, 1984, at her farm in Dover, Massachusetts of natural causes, leaving the bulk of her large estate to charity. References
