Friends of the Mansion

The Friends of the Mansion are those who donate time or money toward restoration and preservation. Since 1997, the Friends have helped in the preservation of the B.J. Clinic files, cleaned slates from the original roof, cataloged artifacts, and painted B.J.’s office. They have gathered each spring to plant flowers in the Mansion Courtyard and during the fall to dig up bulbs and prepare for winter. They have scrubbed walls and floors, washed and rehung drapes, and restored the kitchen to its 1950’s paint scheme. They painted the railing around the front yard, scraped trim, and moved artifacts from storage to display. They’ve designed new and cleaned old exhibits.

The Friends have "adopted" artifacts, donating money for their repair. Pictured are a couch recently recovered with a gift of Dr. Mark Sanna, and a chair, recovered with a gift from a group of Florida doctors.

There is no formal organization of the Friends group at this time. If you are interested in volunteering, please call, and you will be notified of upcoming work dates.
