PLAYHOUSE RENOVATION
The Mather Homestead Foundation seeks to enhance its programming for children. Our historic playhouse was enjoyed by generations of Mathers but is now in disrepair. Our goal is to renovate the playhouse to be the cornerstone for future generations of children who will come to learn and play.
ALL DONORS CONTRIBUTING $250 OR MORE WILL BE RECOGNIZED AT OUR RENOVATED PLAYHOUSE!
** PLEASE NOTE: Any funds raised in excess of playhouse needs will be used to support restoration projects at the Main House.
