The second round of restoration work has started
The second major restoration work under a combined State and County grants has started
and is expected to last until November. Some of the items covered is restoring the
original floor in the North and South Parlors, repairing and installing the wood
shutters and upgrading the electrical wiring. During this time the house tours by appointment
will be available but will be limited as safety allows.
Unfortunately, due to the work, we have had to cancel our September programs in the house for this year.
We plan on picking them up again in 2011.
The Friends of Abraham Staats House has received a community grant of $500 from
IBM based on the volunteer hours of Tom Harabin.
It will be used to update the software we use, as well as obtaining training material
for the museum software.
John Wiley and Sons has given The Friends of Abraham Staats House an unrestricted $500.00 grant based on the
volunteer hours of Carol Harabin (an employee). Thank
you Carol.
Exxon/Mobil has given The Friends of the Abraham Staats
House $500.00 grant each quarter based on the
