With Gratitude To Those Who Have Supported The Capital Campaign
In January 2025, Villa Terrace Museum & Gardens, Ltd. (VTMG) launched a $5,000,000 Capital Campaign, to preserve and protect this historic landmark. We are grateful for every donor, who, like us, believe this Museum and its Gardens should be open to the public to enjoy and respect its important history and beauty.
Thank you.
