From the Facebook event’s description:

Come hear to the Executive Director of Lynnewood Hall Preservation Foundation Inc. and one of the organization’s founding members, Edward T. Thome. He will talk about how the property laid dormant and shrouded in mystery for several decades, is finally getting a well deserved new lease on life. Formed in 2019, the Lynnewood Hall Preservation Foundation Inc., a Pennsylvania 501c3 non-profit, completed their purchase of the 110,000 sq ft home and 34 acre estate June 30th of 2023. The Foundation plans to restore the estate and it’s three buildings in order to open them up to the public for varying uses. The mission and vision of the Foundation encompasses history, education, arts and crafts, sustainability, inclusivity and creating space for the community to come and gather. Lynnewood Hall stands to become not only one of the great Cultural Centers of Cheltenham Township, and Philadelphia as a whole, but an epicenter for the cultural arts with visitors from around the globe.
