Restoration in Peru


Being a real history buff, and having an investigative nature, I can hardly wait until Saturday. The volunteers associated with Ole Olson Theatre will disassemble siding from the Cole Porter Birthplace. I will be there with my camera to watch this event on Saturday April 1, 2006 at 9:00 a.m.

The wish of Ole Olson Memorial Theatre is to restore the house so you can go back in time to the late 1800's and imagine Cole walking in and out those doors. More donations can make this a reality.

Cole Porter was born to Samuel and Kate (Cole) Porter in 1891 in the house located at 19 South Huntington. I can envision what the house will look like. It will be another positive direction for Peru. Cole Porter's music is timeless. People that loved Cole's music will love walking into a museum and gift shop. To all those that are making this happen--way to go!!
