We were thrilled to see the article in today’s Intelligencer describing the plans of the new executive director of Fonthill and Mercer Museum, Kyle McKoy.  We plan to reconvene our group and offer to help with the efforts to revive the Little House site.

Some of you might remember the article from two years ago which mentioned our group: http://www.theintell.com/69393a68-de5c-584e-b2d0-d392b8c4e946.html

One immediate way to help is to contribute to the Fonthill Woodlands Project.  From their page:

“The graffiti and spray paint that appears on the exterior and interior of the little house in the woods will be removed and the façade will be cleaned to expose the architectural features of the structure. One of the most unique features on the exterior of the house is a beautiful Mercer tile that depicts a bird and the Latin phrase “Silva Vocat” (the forest calls), and it is this wonderful art that serves as the showpiece for the mission appeal graphics.”

Artist Alan Fetterman has generously offered to allow us to use an image of his beautiful painting of the little stone house for our group.  Thank you so much, Alan.

The painting was given to Mr. Frank N. Gallagher by Judge Ed Ludwig of the Doylestown Historical Society.  Mr. Gallagher gave it to the Doylestown Nature Club, who at one time had the house as their meeting place.  The Club currently has no permanent home for the painting, so they donated it to the Doylestown Historical Society.  Read the story on the Doylestown Nature Club site.
