Ways You Can Help The Farm

Remembering Marjorie and Preserving Her Legacy | Year-end Appeal 2020

Please Consider a Year-End Gift to the Friends of the Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings Farm, Inc.

Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings passed away 68 years ago December 15. People visiting Antioch Cemetery would see pens, pencils, a small deer statue and an orange on her grave, left by people inspired by her works.

Her grave marker reads:    “Through her writings, she endeared herself to the people of the world.”

The Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings Historic State Park and the Friends of Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings Farm, Inc., are dedicated to preserving Rawlings’ home in Cross Creek, Florida, including the citrus groves, farm animals, and her beloved garden. Doing so helps to preserve her rich literary legacy.

Recent park guests have commented about their visit to the homestead:

Thank you for preserving this historical home.

• “The Yearling” was the first book I read. I was six years old. Cried at the end.

• It's a rainy day, but this place is always shining in my deep childhood memories.

• What a writer, what a woman, wow.

2020 has been a challenging year for everyone, including the Friends of the Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings Farm. The pandemic prevented our fundraising activities. But we still had expenses to help maintain the home and the grounds.

Won't you help preserve this historic homestead for future Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings readers?

Your year-end gift - large or small – may be used to help purchase fertilizer for the citrus grove, paint for the house, chicken scratch feed, repair of the welcome kiosk, and other expenses.

Thanking you in advance and wishing you a wonderful holiday season,

Barbara Wingo

President, Friends of the Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings Farm, Inc.
