What makes our outdoor "living classroom" truly meaningful is accessibility. 🌳

Right now, seasonal mud and rough driveway erosion create physical barriers for learners of all mobility levels.

Through our Pave the Way for the Next Generation campaign, we are improving our sidewalks and pathways to ensure that every learner can safely explore Piatt Castle Mac-A-Cheek Valley.

The best part? Ohio Facilities Construction Commission is matching all community donations 1:2. Your $50 gift becomes $150 of direct support to help us build a barrier-free future.

Will you help us smooth the path for everyone?

Preserving history starts from the ground up.

Our historic driveway was built for horse-drawn carriages, not modern school buses and vehicles. Today, we are working to create safer access for every student, family, and visitor.

Our "Pave the Way for the Next Generation" campaign is creating safer, more accessible pathways so every learner can experience Piatt Castle Mac-A-Cheek Valley's outdoor "living classroom" without navigating seasonal mud or deep ruts.

Thanks to our 1:2 matching grant partnership with Ohio Facilities Construction Commission, every donation is instantly tripled, bringing us closer to our $20,000 community goal.

Did you know our historic driveway was built for 19th-century carriages, not modern vehicles and school buses? 🚌

Seasonal mud and deep ruts make navigating and parking a challenge. Through our Pave the Way for the Next Generation campaign, we are rehabilitating our pathways so every visitor can access our outdoor "living classroom" safely.

We are thrilled to share that this critical work is already moving forward with our first two donations! Together, their contribution triples into $450 through our 1:2 matching grant partnership with Ohio Facilities Construction Commission.

Every single dollar is tripled and brings us closer to our $20,000 public goal. Will you help us pave the way?
