First, please pardon our mess! The back yard at the Hexagon House is receiving some TLC at the moment. The work is currently taking place adjacent to our entrance. We encourage questioners to contact us via email at phwinc.org@gmail.com and not to visit in person while the machinery is in the parking lot.
