April 24, 1980 - WILDERSTEIN PRESERVATION IS CREATED

Daisy establishes the not-for-profit organization which is charged with restoring and maintaining Wilderstein and its grounds as a historic house museum. She retains the right to live in the house until she dies. “I hope it is going to be of use.” she says, “I hope it’s going to be preserved for what is worth preserving in it.”
