There are a number of Eagle Scout projects going on at the Dillingham-Lewis Museum for the Blue Springs Historical Society. One is from Tanner Richardson who is building a historical-looking fence at the entrance of the beautiful new historical garden.
The other is from Jacob Mozer, previously been written about for his lemonade stand, who is building a 32 foot long historical-looking pergola on the opposite end of the historical garden.
There is a third Eagle Project planned (an arbore) for the future from a different troop. It is hoped that this site will be a gathering place for Blue Springs residents to use for community events such as musicians, etc. in the future.
These types of projects are a great way for each of us to get involved and help this treasure of Blue Springs continue to restore and refurbish the home. The home needs a lot of exterior work such as fixing wood that has rotted and then painting the exterior of the house. Funding and skilled volunteers are needed!
