King House & Barn Workday

The semiannual King House & Barn workday is scheduled for Saturday, April 12, starting at 9 a.m. The Historical Society welcomes anyone willing to lend a hand with typical springtime chores in the house, the barn, and on the grounds

While some projects require professional experience, most only require a willingness to get your hands dirty. (Work gloves or rubber gloves are recommended for some projects.) This spring, we are specifically in need of an electrician and a tree specialist. Remember, professional services may be tax-deductible as an in-kind donation, and school students and Scouts can earn community service credit for their volunteer time. As a non-profit organization, without Town support, the Society relies on volunteers to help keep expenses down.

The Society is happy to make special arrangements with anyone willing to donate services at times other than this workday. We would like to express our gratitude to Mike Kaplan at Zera Equipment for his help with a project in the barn. For more information about how you can help, please get in touch with Sara Zak at 860-668-7194.

The King House Museum & Barn will open for the season on May 3. If you are interested in becoming a docent, please get in touch with Jackie Hemond at 860-539-7367.
