What has the
Bingham-Waggoner Estate meant to you?
"The
estate has always been a magical place, so working towards the restoration
has been very important.
Of course, money is at the root of seeing this goal become a reality.
The fundraisers held by the estate, provides an opportunity to work with
others who are interested in the restoration, also. Being able to see
the progress has been exciting as this is an on-going process ."
