Dare We Dream? |
Dear Members and Supporters, The Harrington Opera House has a beautiful performing arts venue, a music room for classes, historic tours, a place to hold fundraising events and the home of the Opera House Museum. There is much more we could do, however we are outgrowing the physical space of the Bank Block Building. The Harrington Opera House Society has been offered the opportunity to purchase the two historic buildings directly east of the Harrington Opera House on 3rd St. The vision for these buildings is a Museum and Art Center, furthering the goals of our mission statement to promote, provide, and preserve the heritage and culture of Harrington and surrounding areas. The Museum would be a home for all things pertaining to the history, life and times of Harrington. Vintage farming machinery could be displayed on the lot on Willis St. The Art Center would be a place to hold wide varieties of art and home economic classes, workshops and space for individual and community art projects. The addition of two more buildings to the national historic register will strengthen Harrington’s Thirty years ago a vision to save the Bank Block Building resulted in what the Harrington Opera House has grown to be today. Now, all these years later is another such opportunity. Do we dare still dream? We very much wish to hear comments, questions, ideas and thoughts both pro and con from you; a valued member and/or supporter of the HOHS. Please contact us. Your Harrington Opera House Executive Board |
