Before there was even a campus, there was the Montrose House. A fitting namesake for the Montrose Society for Legacy Giving.
Noyes House


The building is known today as the Noyes Alumnae House. But over 150 years ago, it was the first structure on the 33-acre site for what was to become the Notre Dame of Maryland Collegiate Institute. Named the Montrose House, it served as a residence for the SSNDs who would be teaching there.

And so began Notre Dame's rich and enduring traditions in education that have been carried from the 19th into the 21st century. How appropriate that those who wish to nurture and sustain that heritage can do so with a legacy gift that makes them members of the Montrose Society.

In both spirit, and in name, the Montrose Society commemorates the very founding and values of the institution they support.
