THANK YOU!

Your support made a difference! Our city council voted unanimously to move forward with the purchase of our Searles Estate!

Thank you all for voicing your support of this historical decision by our City Council to protect the Searles Estate and its many treasures so that all can enjoy and discover this irreplaceable gem in our city--for generations to come. Thank you to our CIty Council, Mayor Perry, Office of Community and Economic Development, State Representative Hamilton, to so many who spoke at and attended the City Council meeting.

Thank you to the 3,430 individuals who signed our online petition! We are thrilled that the Searles Estate and its artistic treasures will be protected and preserved for all.

We certainly made history—together!
