Top 10 Initiatives for Hearthside’s Bicentennial Year
The coming year will be an exciting time as Hearthside celebrates its 200th Anniversary in 2010. We will be commemorating the history of this wonderful home, while undertaking some new initiatives which will create more definition for Lincoln’s Great Road Historic District and involve a larger and more diverse segment of our community. Watch for the announcement of our Schedule of Events coming soon!
