Our restoration could not have happened without your help. The goal of all of our events and other fund raising activities is to continue this work. 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.
