Grants & Donations to the Whaley House
Thank You!County Supervisor Ron Roberts awards $25,000 grant to continue the decorative treatment restoration phase of the Whaley House!
On a recent tour of the museum, Supervisor Roberts was very pleased to see the significant progress made in the restoration and has encouraged us to continue the good work. These funds will allow us to focus restoration work primarily on the dining room and to finish the courtroom. Supervisor Roberts has been an ardent supporter of this County Park. It is a pleasure to see the personal interest he takes in the history of the site and the support he provides for our goal of continuing to develop the Whaley House and its grounds as an educational site.
$5,000 goes a long way in the Whaley House Museum grounds!
That is exactly what Nancy Lemann hoped for when she contributed that sum to help us complete the restoration of the gardens. Nancy, who now resides in Chevy Chase Maryland, was visiting the gardens when she noticed the need for a helping hand. These funds will be used to complete the gazebo area, the front of the Whaley House, and much, much more. Thank you, Nancy. Thousands of people each year will enjoy the beautiful gardens that result from your donation. Completing the Whaley House grounds helps us reach our goal to create an educational guide that visitors can use to learn and to understand some of the early horticultural history of the area.
