A NEW MUSEUM & CULTURAL CENTER OPENED IN TYRINGHAM DEDICATED TO THE POWER COUPLE OF THE GILDED AGE, & THE NATURAL ENVIRONMENT

The property is currently owned by Reese and Linda Palmer, who plan to establish the museum with the Gilder Palmer Sanctuary nonprofit. They aim to raise upwards of $1,500,000USD for the project, with a focus on family-friendly cultural activities.
