Upcoming Blake Center Events
What do we mean by Faith and Freedom?
By faith we mean the essentials of the Christian faith and religion. By freedom we mean the prevalence of civil and religious liberty. Thus, The Blake Center is dedicated to maintaining the Christian faith by precept and example and perpetuating the inestimable blessings that result from freedom.
Blake Center Events
Events at the Blake Center focus on considering the integral relationship of Christianity, Western Civilization, and American ideals and institutions. Attendance at these events is by invitation only. If you would like to inquire about a particular event or request a tour of the center, please feel free to contact the Center.
Visit the Center
The Blake Center’s 100-acre campus is situated in the Connecticut River Valley between Hartford, Connecticut and Springfield, Massachusetts. Its bucolic grounds include ponds, wooded walking trails, and many ornamental structures of architectural interest. The crowning jewel of the property is an exterior replica of Thomas Jefferson’s neo-classical home Monticello where Hillsdale College hosts lectures, seminars, conferences, and retreats.

The Blake Legacy
“This is the most important thing that we have ever done. We wanted to preserve our property, our legacy, and our values. Because Hillsdale has remained faithful to its principles, does not take any money from the government, and has excellent leadership, we are entrusting it to the College.”
-Prestley and Helen Blake
