The Stepping Stones Foundation that preserves and shares the 8-acre National Historic Landmark museum with its historic structures, collection of 110,000 original objects and documents, and a digital archive of the Wilsons’ personal papers. In safeguarding and making available these global treasures, the Foundation fosters public understanding of alcoholism and inspires recovery. Support for Stepping Stones ensures the ongoing care of and year-round access to the beloved 1920s home, Bill’s writing studio, welcome center, community and flower gardens, woodlands, and 110,000 archival documents.
