1975 Amy Angell Collier Montague Medal

Preservers of beauty in nature and in the works of men, their zeal for the public good makes them exemplars of noblesse oblige.


The Amy Angell Collier Montague Medal is awarded for outstanding civic achievement.

The Amy Angell Collier Montague Medal was endowed by Gilbert Holland Montague in memory of his wife (1872–1941), a member of Garden Club of Mount Desert, Zone I. Amy derived great happiness from horticulture, music, and involvement in civic improvement. The medal, designed by Gertrude K. Lathrop, was first awarded in 1950.
