*About the Fall Concert Series*
The Fall Concert Series is a benefit concert series to fund the Jillson House Museum. In order to continue caring for and preserving our documents, photos, and textiles, among other things, we must be able to afford the proper materials such as acid-free boxes, polypropylene envelopes, and acid-free tissue. Please enjoy some music and food with us here at the Jillson House Museum!
Tickets are $15 online and at the door (link to go up shortly). Tickets are $10 for members of the Windham Historical Society.
