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.

Famous quotes containing the word today:
“... today ... photographers prefer disfigurement to adornment. It is now chic to do your worst to people.”
—Margaret Anderson (1886–1973)
“In communist society, where nobody has one exclusive sphere of activity but each can become accomplished in any branch he wishes, society regulates the general production and thus makes it possible for me to do one thing today and another tomorrow, to hunt in the morning, fish in the afternoon, rear cattle in the evening, criticize after dinner, just as I have a mind, without ever becoming hunter, fisherman, shepherd or critic.”
—Karl Marx (1818–1883)
“Everything here below beneath the sun is subject to continual change; and perhaps there is nothing which can be called more inconstant than opinion, which turns round in an everlasting circle like the wheel of fortune. He who reaps praise today is overwhelmed with biting censure tomorrow; today we trample under foot the man who tomorrow will be raised far above us.”
—E.T.A.W. (Ernst Theodor Amadeus Wilhelm)
