🧐 Why would a historic house museum have Autism Programming? We have many parts to our mission; first and foremost, preserving George & Lillian's home, and continuing their legacy of Hospitality, Music, Education and Community Service.
By adding onto our building in 2009, it gave us the opportunity to expand all aspects of our programming. There was a need for Autism Programming in the area and we were determined to help fill that need. We now have four summer camps and year-round programming for children, as well as educational programming for adults and caregivers. All of our programming areas continues to grow.
