While we are still in the process of presenting the idea to the Planning Board and getting the approval from the town, in the interim, we are raising money for this project. When I first planned build a hedge maze, I already put aside some fund for this project. However, with the fire alarm and sprinkler systems costing more than what I had initially expected, the fund previously put aside for the garden was diverted to make sure the Mansion is compliant.
While abandoning the hedge maze idea would have been the easy solution, the location and the size of the empty lot were such a match make in heaven for this sort of ideas! Determined to bring this to life, I have been doing fund raising campaign the past few months. For Easter this year, I hosted a Easter Egg Hunt at the Revival Wheeler Mansion and also did a raffle ticket sales. Almost 700 tickets were sold during this event! Thanks to everyone who took part. I hope the winners enjoyed their prizes!
We are also currently doing another fundraising campaign. If you want to be a part of the process and leave your mark on this beloved historic property or memorialize the dearly departed in an “In Memory Of” tribute brick, make sure to check out the link below for more information!
