Bolton spent most of her life actively participating in various social groups, including the Mount Vernon Ladies Association and a related historical preservation group she founded in 1957. The Accokeek Foundation focused on preserving the Maryland shore, part of the Potomac River viewshed from Mount Vernon. In 1955 Bolton had purchased around 500 acres of land to protect the site from commercialization. This was just one of the many philanthropic acts she undertook throughout her life. | Source: Cleveland Press, October 31, 1972, Cleveland Press Collection, Cleveland State University Library Special Collections Download Original File
