The Grove falls under the protection of Florida Statute 267.075, Title XVIII, Chapter 267 which states that The Grove be utilized as a house museum of history for the educational benefit of the citizens of this state. The Grove Advisory Council oversees and advises the Florida Division of Historical Resources on the operation, maintenance, preservation, and protection of the The Grove or Call/Collins House.
The Florida Division of Historical Resources is in the initial stages of transforming The Grove from private residence to historic house museum and future site of the Call-Collins Center for Principled Public Service, which will build upon the legacy of Call and Collins to provide new forums for dialogue and learning outside of the classroom. In addition to the development of interpretive programs and exhibits, project architects and engineers using state of the art restoration and rehabilitation techniques will ensure that when completed in the summer of 2012, The Grove will be one of three LEED-certified historic house museums in the United States. The others are the Mark Twain Boyhood home in Hannibal, Missouri, and FDR's Little White House in Warm Springs, Georgia.

The nursemaid sitting passive in the park
Was rarely by a changeling prince accosted,
The mornings happened similar and stark
In rooms of selfhood where we woke and lay
Watching today unfold like yesterday.”
—Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
