We are building a cultural institution. It includes an agricultural heritage
museum and creativity center. This facility will be used to unify and
strengthen the creative community of our region. Our long term goal is to
build a regional creative economy. [Creative economy in the modern sense
including not only arts, but science, invention, and business development
as well.]
 
If fully realized and well funded, Starr Homeplace will have a positive
impact on : Adult Education, Tourism, Historic Preservation, Youth
Education, Arts Awareness, Folklife Preservation, Quality of Life
Enhancement, Economic Development, Cultural Heritage Develop-
ment, Entreprenureal Skill Development, Intellectual Property Devel-
opment, and the strength of existing cultural and educational assets.
 
Our Founder is offering his entire estate for the creation of this institution,
provided that the public is willing to provide adequate support. Our initial
goal is $300,000.00 for endowment, $100,000.00 for immediate improve-
ments.
 
Rather than fill your desk with paper we have chosen to offer this section
