Phoebe Nobbs Hyde was the last member of her ancestral maternal (Shepherd) family to live in this heritage house. It was her dream for Greenwood to become a museum, and she made arrangements in her will for this to happen.

In 1996, two years after her death, a board of directors was formed to manage the Greenwood Centre for Living History. Our first executive director was Bill Young. 

In 2026 we are celebrating our 30th year as a museum!
