OUR PLANNED VISITOR CENTER
The preliminary design of the visitor center is intended to be modern, evoking what might have been an original outbuilding. The visitor center is an important support facility for the historic Wallace-Klein House. It enables the house to serve as a venue for arts and education. We will begin fundraising for this building in 2021.
