Other Past Projects
Your generous donations helped us reach our goal for the addition of a bathroom in the 1882 Wood House. We cannot express how much we appreciate your support and faith in us to achieve our goals. By donating to #GivingTuesday, your donations were matched! What a deal that was for us, especially considering how rural we are and don't have BIG business to contribute to our excellent projects. So again, thank you for donating.
