๐Ÿ“บ A Big Moment for a Big Project

We're proud to share a photo from a recent & John Elliott feature highlighting The Hermitage and the work being done to preserve and enhance this historic landmark.

Local Scout Nikhil is raising funds for his Eagle Scout project, installing decorative fencing around The Hermitage's gardens to help define garden spaces, protect plantings, and beautify the grounds for years to come.

Projects like this are made possible through community support, and we're grateful to everyone who has donated, shared, and helped spread the word.

Can you help Nikhil reach his goal? Every donation, no matter the size, brings this project one step closer to reality.

๐Ÿ’š Donate today and help leave a lasting legacy at The Hermitage.
