Our collective goal is to acquire the building that housed the first bank in Locust Grove.  This is a historical building built in 1912, and we think this will make the perfect place to house our museum. We also hope to return the building to its original profile.

In relocating  to downtown Locust Grove we will be able to preserve and display more of Willard Stone’s art and have a more tourist friendly building and surrounding area.
