In October 2006 we launched a major capital campaign for restoration work and stabilization of the Harris Kearney House.  We have completed a portion of that work including a decorative period perimeter enclosure.  Enhancements of our display gallery and interior areas are underway.   The exterior plantings and landscape are being reconditioned.  We thank our volunteers and friends for their splendid donation of time, talent and funds.  Without them, we could not continue our programs.
