The Friends of Hart Park and Museum is a non
profit California corporation composed of
volunteers who donate their time and talents to
help raise funds and otherwise support the Park
and Museum as a supplement to the County of Los
Angeles.
The organization is directed by a board of 15
members elected annually.
The current President is Donna Chipperfield.
Memberships are available
in several categories and there are
approximately 180 Friends. Many Friends
volunteer to assist in organizing and conducting
events and operating the
Trading Post. There are also many
opportunities to
volunteer as tour guides of the mansion or
do other interesting and fulfilling things.
Funds are earned by conducting
special events that
celebrate the life and times of Hart, or are
related in some way to the Western way of life.
These events allow the
membership and guests to experience
the mansion and its
surroundings firsthand and in an intimate way
not experienced by the casual visitor. It is a
very special place.
The Friends have done many things to assist in
the preservation, promotion, and maintenance of
the park and museum, including donating all, or
part, of the cost for several projects. |
