Our restoration to date could not have happened without your help. The goal of our events and other fundraising activities is to continue to restore and rebuild. To accomplish this, we need the very generous and continuing support of all who are interested. ​​We have many projects in mind to return the Farmstead to her rightful place of stately distinction and to tell the story of our agricultural heritage in Central Illinois.
