Driven by their deep Catholic faith, and a desire to build a lasting legacy of life, John and Barbara Cullen have prayerfully decided to donate the Whipple-Cullen homestead to the Cullen Family Charity — entrusting the home their family has cared for since 1713 to a new mission: sheltering mothers and children, for generations to come.
The gift is expected to be completed in late 2026. Until then, the charity is focused on helping partner pro-life organizations, and in the planning stages, preparing for the day the farmstead opens its doors to moms in need.
What began as a family home in 1713 will soon become a home for pregnant mothers who need it most — a continuation of the same land, the same shelter, in service of a new generation.
