Friends of Hearthside, Inc. is an all-volunteer organization formed in 2001 to breathe life back into Lincoln’s historic landmark, Hearthside. The organization was granted nonprofit, 501(c)(3) status in 2002, allowing for tax deductible contributions and the ability to apply for grants.

The volunteers of Friends of Hearthside are committed as its stewards to insuring that Hearthside is made available to the public on a regular basis. Our volunteers are both female and male and range in age from 12 to 84. From professionals, to stay-at-home moms, to kids doing community service, to retirees…everyone has some special skill or interest to offer to the group effort. While many come from Lincoln, we welcome volunteers from other communities as well.
