If you've traveled along East Pershing Street recently, you've likely noticed the activity taking place in the garden behind the Schell Building.
Thanks to the generosity of many individuals who gave memorial gifts in honor of our former director, David Stratton, we are able to transform and enhance this special space. In recognition of his lasting impact, the garden will be named the David C. Stratton Memorial Garden.
The new garden design was created by David's longtime friend and master gardener, Gordon Dunn, and is being expertly brought to life by Smith Landscaping.
We are excited to share the finished results, which will further beautify our museum and provide an inviting space for our community to enjoy.
We are deeply grateful for the continued support of our local community, as well as the many friends across the country who stay connected with us. Your generosity and encouragement help make projects like this possible.
