A history of love and commitment:
The Mary Culver Home has a history of love and commitment that began in 1866. The Blind Girls' Home was established by nine young blind women searching for a permanent residence for themselves and others. By 1909, through the generosity of Mary Elizabeth Culver, our benefactress, a home was built that specifically addressed the needs of the blind. As the women grew older, the organization faced new challenges. In 1966, the residents moved to Kirkwood into the modern, one-story, specialty designed building that serves as their home today. In 1993, to better reflect the mature residents, the name of the organization was changed to The Mary Culver Home. Thanks to the generosity and commitment of the community and the volunteer Board of Directors, The Mary Culver Home is funded entirely by charitable donations.
