Ruthmere Foundation & the Havilah Beardsley House

Some months ago, the Ruthmere Foundation purchased the Havilah Beardsley House, one-time home of the founder of Elkhart. It's the city's oldest home, and is now undergoing a restoration so that it can become a cultural and educational attraction and resource for the community.

The Ruthmere Foundation, the organization that operates the Ruthmere Museum, has just unveiled a new section of its website to tell a bit more about the history and plans for the Havilah House. Here's a direct link to it. You can also make a donation to the restoration effort online if you wish.
