AN OPPORTUNITY TO CONTINUE PREVENTING BIDWELL MANSION FROM CLOSURE!!

On May 13, 2011, it was announced that Bidwell Mansion State Historic Park was slated to close in the Spring of 2012.  However, due to swift community action, methods of raising money have been devised to help save Bidwell Mansion from closure.  See the Donate Now page for more information.  THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR CONTINUED SUPPORT!!!
