About Our Organization

Friends of Homestead supports Homestead National Historical Park -- a National Park Service site -- through fundraising and advocacy. The Friends of Homestead works closely with the Park to provide funds for Park projects and programs, and most recently worked with donors to restore an original painting from the Washington DC capitol "The First Homesteader". This painting is now on permanent display at the Education Center. Funding from the Friends allows all activities at the Park site to remain free to all visitors, including the many schoolchildren who visit the Park annually.
