Thanks to all who have donated their time, money, and resources to make the Cato restoration project become a reality. So much progress has been made on our beautiful little school since we began this work over twenty years ago! It has only been possible because of generous donations from people who care about the Cato School and a grant from the Kansas Historical Society.
