We all know what it takes to keep up a home but imagine keeping up five
homes. Five old homes, the youngest 100 years old, the oldest 256 years
old. The Huntington Historical Society is in that position.
Imagine maintaining old heating plants, leaking roofs, deteriorating fences,
electrical systems, bathrooms, overgrown trees and that's the short list.
When possible, much of the repair work is done by volunteers saving labor
cost but not material costs. Many maintenance items require professionals
as well as conservation professionals at even greater expense. The Huntington
Historical Society is committed to the preservation of the
five properties on the National Register of Historical
places in our care. These fine buildings not only represent the
history of Huntington but house a treasure of artifacts, donated by residents of
Huntington, reflecting over 250 years of life in Huntington.
Your donation to the Annual Appeal is important to the Society in many
areas: education programs, exhibits, events, genealogy as well as maintenance.
Please help.
