You Can Help Save Marblehead’s King Hooper Mansion!
The present work to preserve this unique example of America’s colonial architectural and cultural history depends on the generosity of the Marblehead Arts Association’s patrons, members, friends, and many other civic minded individuals as well as private foundations and public granting institutions, including The Lynch Foundation and the Massachusetts Cultural Council in association with MassDevelopment.
To date, $240,000 of the needed $360,000 has been raised. In May 2022, the Marblehead Arts Association gratefully accepted the challenge of a $60,000 matching grant from the Massachusetts Cultural Council. To receive this funding our community must match the granted amount dollar-to-dollar. Following the buoyant appeal of the Marblehead Arts Association’s first campaign – “ALL THE PENNIES COUNT; DIMES INTO DOLLARS MOUNT” – we invite you to HELP SAVE MARBLEHEAD’S KING HOOPER MANSION. There are recognition tiers for those able to share more and every penny is appreciated.
