Thank you to Dan McClintock of McClintock Roofing and Ernie Eldridge for working to move four tons of stone around the Jillson House foundation. This was hard work and was done in the rain!! Thank you to both!

The Jillson House Museum is fortunate to be the recipient of a 1772 Foundation grant that is allowing us to replace the very old and dingy plexiglass on our windows with new, modern storm windows. This will allow us to see outside the building and it is definitely more attractive. All of the windows are being repaired and painted before installation. Hope you can all watch the changes as we progress. Thank you to the 1772 Foundation!!!
