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.
