The 10.3 acre farm, popularized by Marguerite Henry’s novel, is on the market and a developer has already offered $625,000, according to a story posted yesterday by Chesapeake Bay Magazine.
Staff with the Museum have launched a fundraising campaign to purchase the property and save it future generations.
The family prefers to sell to the museum, but it has only one month to raise the funds.
Donations are tax-deductible and can be made online or by mail.
