HULL FAMILY HOME & FARMSTEADCirca 1810

Dear Friends:

The Warren and Polly Hull homestead is one of the most significant historic sites in all of Western NewYork. The region possesses no other comparable dweffing from an earlier time, nor any with such a wealth ofhistoric connections. It clearly deserves our full attention and warrants the expenditure of the dollars neededto restore and preserve the site and to interpret its story.

Rescued from potential oblivion in 1992 by the Landmark Society of the Niagara Frontier, strong effortssince then have led to the establishment of the Hull House Foundation, and a major restoration campaign.What started with just the home itself, perched upon a small half-acre lot, has burgeoned into a growing campus of house, barn, cemetery, 24 acres of additional farm site along with a Victorian home—serving as ourheadquarters—adjacent to the house. The Foundation also has established a regular newsletter, a websitepresence, a membership following, and a schedule of year-round programming.

We are now on the verge of bringing to fruition an outstanding historic educational interpretive opportunityfor our citizenry. The Hull Family Home & Farmstead will be a unique, exciting and meaningful experiencefocused on the earliest period of white settlement in Western New York. This is the culmination of years ofwork and thousands of hours of labor performed by dozens of dedicated volunteers with unflagging dedication to this one purpose.

The Foundation is proud of its accomplishments and greatly appreciates the help it has received from theMargaret L. Wendt Foundation, John R. Oishei Foundation, Community Foundation for Greater Buffalo,Conable Family Foundation, the M & T Foundation, the Town of Lancaster, our State legislative delegation,Barbara and Jerry Kelly, and the myriad of individual donors. We are also grateful for the support from theFund for the Arts, which made possible the development of this plan.

We are now poised to advance our project to its final phase — to recreate a representative farmstead from theearly 19th century with all of the appurtenant buildings and features. With the continued help of the many farsighted individuals, organizations and local leaders who have been involved, we will be successful at bringingthe Hulls’ family home to its rightful place as one of our community’s most significant historic assets.

The ages of our past have brought this site safely to the present. It now falls to us, through our continuingexertions, to propel it into the ages of our future.

Sincerely,

Gary N. CostelloPresidentBoard of DirectorsHull House Foundation 5976 Genesee Street, Lancaster, New York 14086 (716) 681-6451

The c.1 810 Hull House -- the oldest stone dwelling in Erie County, NY-- is a rare piece of earlyAmerican architecture in Western New York. Located on Genesee Street in the Town of Lancaster, the Hull House is currently being restored by the Hull House Foundation as an educational andinterpretive center for early 19th century life in the Western New York frontier. It is a rare surviving example of Federal style architecture in the Niagara Region and is purported to be the oldestsubstantial stone dweffing in Erie County. Nothing as substantial as this house has survived fromany white settler who came to our area before Warren Hull. It is an extraordinary landmark.

The vision for the future at the Hull Family Home & Farmstead is ambitious but critically important to preserving the house and the stories of the family and the culture and events of the 19thcentury in Western New York. In order to help children and families, students and researchers, history buffs and tourists to understand the present, we want to help them appreciate the past. Ourrich fabric of cultural heritage is something to cherish, protect, and build upon. We seek to preserve and to enhance our broad range of resourcesthrough sensitive stewardship, protection and enrichment for the futuie.

The Hull House restoration project is about sustaining, overseeing and ensuring the continuationof the Western New York story and the rich heritage that can be interpreted through this historictreasure. This site deserves to be preserved, interpreted, and celebrated for its own sake, as well asfor all of the residents of our community.

The Hull House Foundation firmly believes inmaintaining the authenticity and integrity of ourhistorical sites. The heart of heritage development is to tell real stories—stories that explain theplaces and also tell why these places are important. We, therefore, derive an appreciation and understanding of the significance and value of our community and its past. This, in turn, helps us create a sense of shared experience and meaning.

In teffing the story about how we arrived at this point in the 21st century, how we grew and developed since the first white settlers to this area, and how we became the community we are today, weare relighting the past so our story can be shared with future generations.

The house, on 1.1 acres, was acquired by the Landmark Society of the Niagara Frontier (LSNF)from the Peterson Family in 1992 in order to preserve the historic structure. Significant progressbegan in 2001 when the Hull House Restoration Committee was formed and spearheaded the beginning of major fundraising for restoration of the existing building. The chronology below summarizes the strides we have made thus far with the restoration. This plan sets forth the full visionof our plans to recreate an historically accurate, early 19th century family home and farmstead.

Trends Affec ijOr Work

Western New York emerging as a heritage/cultural tourism region:

Multiple efforts are underway to position Western New York as a major cultural and heritage tourism

destination. Recent national coverage is building a stronger presence for the region, and Hull Family

Home & Farmstead will continue to play an active role in the planning and implementation process. The

historic preservation movement in the region is also an active force in bringing attention to the area and

to continuing local effort to preserve historic structures and landscapes.

Trend toward Dt person interactive interpretation:

Within the world of heritage tourism and historic sites, the most current practice is to provide visitors

with a realistic, active, “live” experience vs. a static presentation of materials. “Living history” is appeal

ing to all ages and is especially effective for educational programs.

National Trust for Historic Preservation conference in Buffalo in 2011:

Buffalo will be the site for the October 2011 conference of the National Trust for Historic Preservation,

which will bring 2,500 visitors to Western New York. This notable event provides an ideal opportunity

to expose visitors from beyond the region to significant cultural and historical assets, including the Hull

Family Home & Farmstead. The organization is an active participant in planning activities.

Regional plans to celebrate bi-centenmial of War of 1812:

On the heels of the conference is the bi-centennial celebration of the War of 1812, a bi-national, regional commemoration of the two-year military conflict between the U.S. and Great Britain. Both events

provide a platform for major public exposure to the Hull Family Home & Farmstead. The organization

is an active participant in planning activities:

Increasing interest in growing and supporting “local”—food, agriculture, economy,

community:

Given the heightened awareness of the environment and the emergence of a “green” economy, greater

numbers of people are taking action to grow and distribute local food and invest in the local economy.The Hull Family Home & Farmstead can serve as a living demonstration of how a family maintained asustainable farm and gardens.

Competitive funding environment:

The economic climate has made the funding environment even more competitive and Western NewYork is home to over 3,400 nonprofit organizations. To be effective in fundraising, organizations needto make a compeffing case for support.

Going green:Climate change and “green” is in the news everywhere and it seems like everyone’s “going green.” Thereis a growing desire to align the agendas of the “green movement” and historic preservation, and collaborative efforts are underway among the National Trust for Historic Preservation, the U.S. Green BuildingCouncil, and The American Institute of Architects to tap the synergies between green building and historic preservation.

Site Development

Archeological research (also used for interpretation)The continuation of our archaeological exploration and research is an important facet of theoverall reconstruction of the living history site. It strives to obtain the rarest pieces of information from the earliest occupation. Thus, it allows for the reconstruction of what was actuallythere, affords a more accurate historical representation of life in Western New York in the early19th century and aids in gaining a broader view of the site. Research already completed has contributed to the accuracy of the restoration and provided a basis for site interpretation.

House restoration - exterior and interiorPlans call for the complete restoration of the house interior and exterior to return its appearance,configuration, and function as it was in the early 19th century, making the home representative ofits period of prime significance. Handicapped accessibility will be addressed to the extent feasiblein the house itself as well as other parts of the site. Restoration will incorporate the Hull HouseFoundation’s “Green Plan.”

Farmstead development, orchard, garden, pathways and outbuildingsOver the next ten year period we wifi recreate a farmstead typical of the era, with all of the appurtenant buildings and features — using the best available archaeological evidence coupled with results from historic research as to the nature and character of early farms in the Western NewYork region. Farmstead development will also incorporate the Hull House Foundation’s “GreenPlan” as well as a nature trail.

Visitor CenterA modern Visitor Center will be constructed to accommodate visitors, parking, buses and publicrecreational activities. The center will handle back-office services, ticket sales, exhibit space,classroom/presentation area, gift shop, lavatories, and snack bar. An event barn for special activities is planned adjacent to the center. Construction will incorporate the Hull House Foundation’s “Green Plan.”

Genesee Street crossing - below-grade pedestrian passagewayPlans are being set for construction of a below grade pedestrian walkway to provide for safe passage of visitors from the Visitor Center to the historic site.

Public and event areasOpen areas for events will be included in the site in areas adjacent to the home and farmstead inorder to preserve the historic context of the site and to also expand programming opportunities.These include picnic areas and open spaces for flexible use.

Native American Cultural Interpretive SiteA Native American cultural site wifi be developed, offering year-round opportunities for interpretation of the culture and life style of the Native Americans of the Seneca Nation. The site will bedesigned and presented by members of the Native American community in collaboration with the

Cemetery restorationRestoration of the Hull Family cemetery, in collaboration with the University at Buffalo Department

of Anthropology, will be included as a component of the Hull Family Home & Farmstead experi

ence. The cemetery presently holds the remains of at least four Hull family members, including twoveterans of the American Revolution and at least 10 other graves. Markers will be restored, and vegetation, paths, fences and signage installed.

Community Supported AgricultureIn light of the growing interest in local food, it is possible to develop a series of large gardens on theproperty south of Genesee Street (see below) should it be acquired. These gardens could operate asa Community Supported Agriculture initiative in which community members “invest” in shares andreceive fresh, local food throughout the growing season.

Acquisition of adjacent properties• Final “puzzle piece” in center of northern property boundary adjacent to Thruway

Parcel includes billboard. Acquisition of this parcel, which would finally “square off’ the

assembled farmstead site, is of paramount importance in presenting a realistic representation of the Hull farm. Presents short-term opportunity for billboard revenue with ultimategoal of removing billboard.

• Residential property directly east of Hull House and present historic barn:The property is important in protecting the historic site’s eastern boundary; long-rangeuses of the property to be determined.

• Vacant land, southwest corner of Pavement Road and Genesee StreetThis area provides a valuable view-shed for the Hull site and every effort will be made tomaintain this vista in its present state — just as it has been for hundreds of years.

Present owners have been friendly about HHF using this vacant parcel for event parking.If acquired, one option proposed is to site Community Support Agriculture gardens here.

• Potential additional parcels west of siteVacant acreage west of the present site should be acquired as resources allow to furtherprotect the site’s western border from possible encroachment and allow for expanded programming opportunities.

Marketing

Marketing planA long-term Marketing Plan with identified goals, strategies, and quantifiable outcomes will becrafted that matches the goals and timeframe of this Strategic Plan. In addition, an annual Marketing

Plan will be created in concert with the annual budget, programming plan and fundraising plan that

identifies strategies to ensure positive visibility for each year’s events, successes and promotable op

portunities. Budgets will include reasonable funds supporting strategic advertising, printing and other

methods of ensuring attendance, participation and positive awareness. In-kind support for same

should be identified early as part of both long-range and annual plans. A Marketing Committee willalso be formed to both guide the planning and implement the plans on an ongoing basis. This cornmittee will be charged with all public relations initiatives, publications, advertising, website content,

media relations, and other outreach.


CollaborationCollaboration with partners sharing similar goals will be undertaken at every opportunity, bothto maximize resources and to gain positive visibility in the larger community and partner constituencies.

Key ongoing partners are:• Buffalo Niagara Convention &

Visitors Bureau• Town of Lancaster• Seneca Nation• Clarence Hollow Association• War of 1812 Bicentennial Planning Group• Lancaster Schools• Fund for the Arts

Master Interpretive Plan / Educational programmingThe master interpretive pian is the heart and soul of the Hull Family Home & Farmstead experience — just as the house and grounds are the skeleton and muscle of the site. It is this planthat wifi define the stories that are important to the site, will explain their relevance, and wifidescribe how they will be presented. All programming emanates from this comprehensiveplan.

Organizational DevelopmentGovernance/Board

In 2010, the Board was expanded to 10 members from five. The board will continue to expandup to 15 members in order to provide a strong base of support and leadership. Board memberorientation, training and development will be conducted on a regular basis in order to graduallytransition the board from a “working/hands-on” to a “governance” board. This transition isexpected to take place over a ten-year period.

Committee StructureThe Committee structure for the organization will be reviewed on an annual basis in order toalign it with current priorities. Committees will continue to involve supporters beyond theboard and provide opportunities for development of potential board candidates.

Development TeamThe Hull House Development Team organizes, promotes and develops public events and supervises volunteers for the Hull Family Home & Farmstead. The team members will continueto work with the Board to expand the depth and breadth of these events and to encourage theexpansion of our volunteer base.

Volunteer ManagementAs the Site develops and is open to the public for longer periods of time, the role of volunteerswill need to be defined and a plan for recruitment, management and recognition of volunteerswill be developed.

Staffmg PlanThe growth and development of the site will necessitate core paid staff. The number androles of these staff members will be defined during Phase I (see below for timeframe).

Professional GuidanceThe restoration will continue to utilize the professional services of qualified preservation architects, historic researchers, anthropologist/archeologists, and construction specialists forguidance and implementation.

Technological enhancementsInformation technology will be integrated into the development of the site. Technology willbe required for point of sale transactions, accounting, website, fundraising/donor management and exhibits. A technology plan will also be developed during Phase 1.

Financial SustainabifityConcurrent with the restoration of the Hull Family Home and Farmstead, the Hull HouseFoundation will develop and implement a plan for long-term sustainability of the site. Thecapital costs are estimated at $3 million over a ten-year period. Sustainability will be achievedby developing a portfolio of income streams including the following:

• Earned Income (merchandise sales,rentals, admissions, tours, event income)

• Grants• Membership• Annual appeal

IEiife at The Hull Faixiil Hbmë& FarmsiLL..

As the work continues with restoration and site development, a broad array of experiences areoffered to visitors through a variety of methods to encourage understanding and appreciation ofthe multifaceted heritage story presented at the Hull Family Farm & Farmstead. We strive to develop a “hands-on” experience for visitors. The house is presently open for individual and familyvisitation and group tours including student groups and commercial tour companies. We continueto develop new topics for our lecture series, seminars, field trips and focused field studies. Severaltimes each year, we invite the public to join our archaeologists in a community “dig” where theycan unearth a piece of our past for themselves. We currently have seasonal and themed specialevents which provide new reasons to visit the site on a repeat basis.

The pictures on these pages illustrate some of the many activities at the site that help tell the storyof the Hull Family, the home and life during the period. Many thanks to our dedicated volunteerswho are active in both restoration activities and events that bring the site to life.
