Anna Villareal, Director of the Harlan-Lincoln House OurThe 2020 facilities Front plan for the Harlan-Lincoln Porch House museum included maintenance work to stabilize porch posts, adding a non-slip sealant to the porch floorboards, and refreshing the entire structure’s iconic yellow paint. But, the events of July 19 expedited the necessity for the planned work. That morning, a storm blew through Mount Pleasant, bringing down one of the beautiful maple tree from the west lawn onto the museum, damaging the 1895 reproduction porch. In order to respond quickly to the damage, the Friends of the Harlan-Lincoln House announced the “Our Front Porch” campaign. This campaign seeks to raise $30,000 to repair the storm damage, complete the 2020 facilities projects, replant trees on the museum’s west lawn, and develop new external educational signage. As of November 1, over 66% of the campaign’s goal had been met! Thank you to everyone who has supported this campaign so far.
