OUR PURPOSE

 

Brush Square Museums Foundation, a charitable 501(c)(3) organization, is the primary citizen group advocating for the restoration and preservation of the O. Henry Museum and Susanna Dickinson Museum. The Foundation sponsors programs highlighting  their legacies in literature and Texas history. 

• We promote fund raising, advocacy, building a support base, special events and public relations

• We facilitate funding for and implementation of regularly scheduled revisions to a comprehensive preservation plan

• We encourage the interpretation of the Museums as representative of O. Henry and Susanna Dickinson and Joseph Hannig’s life in Austin

• We develop cooperative educational programs for the enrichment of a literate community.
