About Us

Friends of Hunter Gym is a non-profit, 501c-3 organization based in Marfa, Texas. Our goal is to restore, preserve, and manage the use of Hunter Gym, a historic, WPA-constructed gymnasium built of adobe block on the campus of Marfa Independent School District in Marfa, Texas.

The Friends of Hunter Gym will raise funds, hire staff, prepare plans and documents, secure services, execute agreements, and oversee architectural, engineering, and rehabilitation work to ensure the restoration and preservation of Hunter Gym, a designated State of Texas historic landmark. The non-profit corporation will raise funds solely for this purpose and will not distribute any income to its members or directors. The corporation will work in close organization with Marfa ISD which will retain ownership of the property. Once restored, the corporation will manage the use of the facility for the benefit of Marfa ISD and the broader Marfa, Texas community.
