Save the Keirle house

This article in the Omaha World Herald will hopefully draw more people to the Landmarks Commission meeting at 1:30 on Wednesday - 1819 Farnam street, room 1210. Landmarks, Inc. has extended an offer to the Florence Historical Foundation to partner in saving this great piece of Florence history. If they accept, we will host a tour of the house and all proceeds will be earmarked towards necessary repairs. We will continue to offer our assistance to the Foundation untill they accept. 

Please join the Keirle House Fans facebook group for up to date commentary and announcements.  Keirle House Fans.

Landmarks Friends

I am very pleased to see us move out of what has been a year of little progress, and invite you to reengage with what is now a much stronger, vibrant group of people passionate about our built history. Landmarks is now meeting on a regular basis with Restore Omaha and representing them as a Fiscal Sponsor. It is the first step of what I hope will become a long lasting partnership! The blending of our two groups will result in positive collaboration that better fulfills the original mission of Landmarks and also retains the unique quality of Restore Omaha.
