We have entered into this process to ensure that we create a comprehensive set of decisions to guide us to best preserve and grow The Peel Compton Foundation and its resources. We are working hand-in-hand with our Board of Directors and will seek input from the community at large. We believe that with proper and thoughtful planning, this will be the best way to ensure the continued preservation of the Peel Mansion Museum & Heritage Gardens, Dr. Neil Compton’s family home and legacy and allow for the growth and expansion of the Coler Preserve.

We will affirm our purpose and values and publicly communicate our goals, both for the short-term and longer term. As we continue to be inspired by the natural beauty of Northwest Arkansas and our rich heritage and traditions, we want to ensure that the next generation will be able to appreciate and enjoy all the resources we have to offer.
