Miss Hamilton Offers Homestead for Park and Museum
Miss Margaret Hamilton proposes gifting the west 107 feet of the Homestead property and selling the east 100 feet to Fort Wayne school authorities for a high school extension at 40 000 dollars. The plan envisions a public park around the residence and a museum, to be freely open with no charged events, and a memorial tablet marking the gift to the public. The Women's League committee will publicize the idea while the school board debates condemnation to secure the full tract for educational use.
