Pleasant Home Foundation is dedicated to restoring and preserving the 1897 John Farson House and adjacent grounds as a historic house museum. The 30-room mansion, also called Pleasant Home, is among the earliest and most prominent examples of Prairie-style architecture. It is also the only design by renowned architect George W. Maher that is open to the public. The John Farson House serves as an educational, recreational and cultural resource for more than 20,000 international visitors annually. The Tourism Cares grant will help with brick and limestone repairs, a crucial phase in the restoration and preservation of the museum.
