The John L. and Jean B. Zegger Memorial Fund - For forty years, Jean and Jack Zegger made their home in the Stockade Historic District, a neighborhood they loved and were committed to preserving. The Fund, established when Jack passed away in 1999, will now also honor Jean, who passed away on October 28, 2023. Your donation will help Schenectady Heritage Foundation continue the Zegger’s legacy of historic preservation in New York State’s first historic district, the Stockade.
