Capital Campaign

Our dream is to expand to a space built to suit, where we can interpret history to visitors, have workshop and storage space and still maintain the mission of enlivening nearby, extant historical spaces. Donations for this purpose should be made by check with “Capital Campaign” written on the memo line. Thank you!
