The public is invited to help Tulare County develop the Mooney Grove Park & Museum 20 Year Master Plan by participating in a community workshop to be held from 5-7 p.m. on June 26th in the Board of Supervisors' Chambers located at 2800 W. Burrel Ave. in Visalia.
The County is working with consultants to accomplish three tasks:
Develop a Mooney Grove Park Master Plan, a road map that will guide County efforts to manage activities in the park during the next two decades.
Design and construct the new Farm Labor and History of Agriculture Museum.*
Evaluate the condition of the existing Tulare County Museum building and make recommendations for any needed repairs or the eventual replacement of the 59-year-old structure.
*In 2006, with cooperation from Tulare County, the Tulare County Historical Society was awarded a California Council and Historical Endowment (CCHE) grant for $1,450,000. These funds are being used to construct a 17,000 sq. ft. two-story building at the Tulare County Museum grounds. This state-of-the-art facility will showcase our county's rich history of farm labor and agriculture. The first floor will be 10,000 sq. ft., and will be completely finished with the CCHE grant funds and additional funding from the County of Tulare and local donations. The second floor, 7,000 sq. ft. will be shelled space for future expansion of Museum facilities/services as the need arises.
