John Kline Homestead

John Kline was arguably the most beloved personality in Brethren History. Donald F. Durnbaugh	John Kline Homestead Broadway, Virginia	We did not decide to receive the John Kline legacy. Now, we must decide what we will do with that legacy. Paul Roth
The Board of Directors is embarking on a Capital Fund Campaign to raise $300,000 by December 31, 2009. This will allow purchase of the John Kline house, and outbuildings plus an additional acre. Board members will make an appeal to 14 congregations in the Shenandoah District to raise $10,000 each. The Linville Creek congregation raised close to $60,000 before the fund campaign began. Neighboring districts will be contacted to solicit financial support from their larger congregations. In addition, we are working with neighboring Brethren congregations to assist in mowing around the house and outbuildings to reduce the maintenance costs. June 16-19 a Church of the Brethren Junior High Workcamp will stay in the house and paint some of the outbuildings. They will also visit other Brethren historic sites in the area.
