Welcome to the Bryn Du Mansion! With a mission of historical preservation and cultural, recreational, educational and artistic experiences, there is always something happening.

A Letter from Bryn Du's Board President

Dear Friends and Supporters,

 

                We need your help to make the restoration, renovation, and re-purposing of our historic 115-year-old Barn a reality. A team of board members from the Licking County Community Center for 60+ Adults (LCCC) and the Bryn Du Commission collaborated on a creative design for the Barn, with the first floor envisioned as the home of the LCCC and the second floor serving as community cultural performance and multi-use space operated by Bryn Du. Early fundraising, including commitments from the Village of Granville and the State of Ohio, has us over halfway to the estimated $2.1 million cost. We need your gifts to get us the rest of the way.

 

                We are fortunate to be able to provide you with an opportunity to double the impact of your gift by acting now. Local resident Jeanetta Pyle has generously offered to match all individual donations dollar for dollar up to a total of $25,000 through the end of this year. We cannot thank her enough.

 

                You have multiple ways to donate to this campaign. You may give online at BrynDu.com through our donate button below, or you may print out a pledge form (also below) and mail us a check or your credit card information. However you choose to give, please know that we are a 501(c)(3) organization per the IRS and your donation is tax deductible to the extent permitted by law.

 

                If you want to know more about the Bryn Du Barn renovation project and see the preliminary designs and architectural renderings, please click on the "Learn More" button below.

 

                Recently, we have all heard that rapid change and development are coming to Licking County. Your generous donation will help to preserve a bit of our local history, save some of our rural charm, and create a very special community space.

 

                Thank you for your support!

 

                Candi Moore

                President

Free Art Exhibit

 

Please plan to join us for a very special, open-to-the-public art exhibition highlighting the works of Bryn Du's summer Artist in Residence, Mr. Kong Ho. This event will be held in the Bryn Du Art Center's Eddie Wolfe Gallery on Tuesday, July 19 from 5-7pm. Vibrant and unique, Mr. Ho's representational and imaginative floral-spiral paintings are absolutely gorgeous in person. These beautiful acrylic paintings are based on sensory experiences mingled with nostalgia. Mr. Ho will be on site during the open hours to speak with visitors. Please join us for this free, family-friendly event.
