Ten Chimneys Foundation Charity Profile
Ten Chimneys Foundation was formed in 1996 to save Ten Chimneys, restore and preserve the estate, and open it to the public as a world-class museum and national resource for theatre and arts education.
In 1996, Ten Chimneys came perilously close to destruction through commercial development until Joseph W. Garton – a Madison-area restaurateur, theatre historian, and arts advocate – led a public opposition to this unthinkable fate. Mr. Garton spent the next two years connecting with community and civic leaders and national experts in various fields. A team of national preservation experts performed a Historic Site Analysis and Master Plan. The renowned Wingspread Conference Center of The Johnson Foundation in Racine, Wisconsin, hosted a conference of national leaders in theatre, the arts, and arts education – to help define the role a restored Ten Chimneys could play locally and nationally. In November of 1997, twenty-four prominent civic leaders came together to form the board of trustees of Ten Chimneys Foundation.
