The Webb Sanctuary is a community place where people can enjoy meadows, streets, and woods while discovering a rich variety of birds, amphibians, reptiles, fish, insects, plants, and other living things. Willard and Ann Webb donated the sanctuary to the Audubon Naturalist Society in 1997 in memory of Willard's parents, Willard and Margaret Webb. Margaret Webb, born a Detwiler, had lived in Clifton briefly in 1918-1919, where she and Willard met and fell in love. They married in 1928, bought this property in 1930, raised their two sons here, and lived here for the rest of their lives. The Webbs were active in local arts, crafts, and gardening; Margaret was known for her painting and gardens, including a native plant garden, and Willard's wood carvings can still be seen in the Clifton Presbyterian Church. They also began the tradition of Clifton Day, an annual craft fair held in October. Careful stewards of their home and land, they preserved much of it as wildlife habitat, and the property became a favorite walking place for Clifton residents. After Willard died in 1978, Margaret continued living here until shortly before her death in 1995. Their younger son Willard and his wife, Anne, chose to keep the family home as a community asset by donating it in 1997 so it would remain a haven for wildlife and a place for people to discover nature. The Webb Sanctuary was dedicated on May 31, 1998, to the memory of Margaret and Willard Webb.
