Saving Rich Hill

[L Verge]

I'm hoping they will take my suggestion of meeting the four Booth Escape Route Tour buses that we have heading their way in September of this year. A 15-20 minute stop with a brief talk on what is planned and a prominent donation jar on display can work wonders. (If all else fails, Rich Hill is the last stop on the tour before lunch. We won't let those hungry people back on the bus until they make a donation!).

Seriously, since the 1980s, our Surratt Society has raised over $90,000 to restore the kitchen wing at Surratt House and over $10,000 to mark the graves of Edman Spangler (in conjunction with the Dr. Mudd Society), Elizabeth Keckly's grave, and that of Mrs. Surratt's lawyer, Frederick Aiken. There are still generous people out there who support historical projects.
