September brought us a new challenge — and a new opportunity to come together for Keillor House.

This month, the Westmorland Historical Society launched our Matching Challenge Campaign, with every dollar donated to help save historic Keillor House being matched dollar for dollar until December 31st. Our goal is to raise the funds needed for critical repairs to the museum’s deteriorating walls and help ensure this important piece of our local heritage remains standing for generations to come.

So far, our community has raised $13 428 toward our $100 000 goal! Every contribution brings us one step closer, and thanks to the matching challenge, your donation has twice the impact.

🍂 October: Our Heritage, Our Responsibility

Keillor House is more than an historic building. It is part of the story of Dorchester and Westmorland County — a place that connects us to the people, lives and history that came before us. Preserving it is something we can all take part in. Our heritage, our responsibility.

Dear Friends and Supporters of Keillor House Museum

Westmorland Historical Society has an exciting and challenging goal – to raise $100,000 by December 31, 2026 to obtain matching funds for the urgent repair of the Keillor House walls.

This generous matching donation in memory of their Hons. George and Ruth Stanley also qualifies you for a tax receipt and will allow us to undertake the initial phase of reconstruction.

We need your support if we are to be successful and will send out monthly updates to let you know how close we are to our goal.

Please share this with friends and colleagues who may be interested in heritage and preserving the integrity of this 200-year-old landmark.
Help us save Keillor House by making your donation today.
