In April 2005, Auburn University Board of Trustees named the museum’s grounds and gardens the Susan Phillips gardens. They were dedicated to her and in memory of her son, Matthew Albert Tucker and her mother, Anne Miller Phillips on october 19, 2005. Phillips’ donation of her grandparents’ collection, The louise Hauss and David Brent Miller Audubon Collection, and its attendant endowment make possible the exhibitions, education, and research devoted to Audubon and natural history at JCSM.
