John Guss, site manager at the Grimes Plantation

Greetings Everyone,

We want to thank you for your support this year especially through the existing challenging economic times. Visitation and financial contributions are the foundation of our future longevity as a historic landmark. Historic sites such as Bennett Place are the fiber of our American heritage which is so crucial to the stability of our nation and gives us direction in to the future.

With the first year of the Sesquicentennial coming to a close we move forward in to 2012 with various expectations of more memorable 150^th Civil War Anniversary signature events, the continuing plans for our new museum redesign, and the celebration of the 50^th Anniversary of Bennett Place becoming a North Carolina State Historic Site, April 28-29, 2012. We ask that you continue your support of our efforts and share in these wonderful upcoming events.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to each and everyone!!

John Guss
Site Manager
