November 2025

Thank you for donations towards the window repairs after the May hail storm. More than 30 window panes had to be replaced. They were replaced with tempered glass. The previous glass had shattered across the interior. 

The 190th celebration is 11/28/25. Next year we will plan a commemoration of 150 years after Reconstruction and America 250. 

Ongoing (2025): UPDATE: A friend of ours has offered to donate the labor cost for a local skilled craftsman (Winter 2025/2026). We will cover the cost of the wood to replace rotten boards on the exterior of the building. The tenant house is likely Mid-1800s construction and housed the last cook and caretaker, Mrs. Thomas until the 1960s. We would like to keep this building in good condition, at present, two exterior walls are approaching 'fair' condition as exterior boards are rotting due to weathering. Please consider sponsoring this project by choosing the West or North Wall and noting that on your donation. Once complete we plan to work adding this building to our tours, along with additional signage inside. PLEASE SEE BELOW FOR IMAGES OF TENANT HOUSE.
