Historic Marbold Farmstead
We want to thank everyone who attended our Fall Festival over the past weekend. It was one of our most successful. It would not have been possible without the enthusiastic efforts of our vendors, participiants, and volunteers. The comments on our work were very generous and complimentary.
Again, a very genuine and heartfelt Thank You!!
We would also like to thank the State Journal Register for the very kind September 13, 2021 article by Steve Spearie: “ Historic mansion seen in a whole new light”. If you have not seen it, please go to SJ-R.com.
We are now headed next into the restoration of the interior which will be exciting, since we intend to restore the elegance and grandeur of a Victorian era mansion. If you like how the conservatory looks, it is only a start. You can see a bit of what it will be by clicking here: Future

The goal of our Festival and other fund raising activities is the continuing effort to restore the Elmwood Mansion to its former glory. To do that we need the very generous and continuing support of all of you who are interested. We have many projects in mind to restore the glory of the Elmwood Mansion and to tell the story of agriculture of this part of the state. We are entering a phase where we'll soon begin to restore the interior and to return the beauty of the Mansion. We need your help!
