Get involved: Annual Appeal

Spring is here and we have recently had the radiators re-activated and a new boiler installed.  Now it is time for the completion of the second floor of the sheriff's house.  This is a vital part of our overall plan because it would enable visitors to wander through the old living quarters as they were in 1909.  
It would benefit the community where we envision the house being rented for special events. Please help us preserve this essential part of the architecturally historic second floor of the sheriff's residence by visiting our "Support" tab.
