ITEMS WE ARE ACTIVELY SEEKING:

Have you been cleaning out your family’s old barn and stumbled upon extra tools, equipment, or even a stack of weathered barn wood? If so, we would love to hear from you!

Drop us a line – we’re always excited to see what treasures our community has to offer.

These are just some of the items we are currently fundraising for, but if you happen to have one to donate,

our arms (& hearts!) are wide open!

Golf Cart – Helps us provide accessible tours and supports staff in moving around the grounds more efficiently.

Chain Saws – Essential for trail maintenance, tree pruning and everyday landscaping.

Wood Chipper – In the spirit of Harvey Fite, reuse is paramount at Opus 40. We turn wood chips into trail coverings and soil protectors. There’s never a shortage of forest to maintain across our 60+ acres!

Old Chains – Ever notice the beautiful “chain necklaces” hanging around Fite House and The Quarryman’s Museum? We use them to mark pathways and maintain consistency across property and are always looking for lengths and widths of all sizes.

Reclaimed Wood – Harvey Fite utilized reclaimed wood when constructing his home and garage/museum, and we want to preserve that legacy as we repair and restore. Floor planks are especially helpful.
