Bishop Hill Heritage Association recently issued the following announcement.
The Bishop Hill Heritage Association is conducting a fundraiser to raise money for the 1851 Carpenter Shop Exterior Restoration Project. Furniture, wagons, plow frames, cultivators, and farm accessories were once built in this historic structure.
The BHHA is planning to restore the exterior of the Carpenter Shop to the way it was in 1851, by removing the plaster that was later applied to the lower level bricks.
In addition, many windows need extensive repair or even replacement, and the entire structure needs to be tuck-pointed.
So far many people and organizations have contributed to this project.
At this time, we would like to recognize these generous donors who have contributed so far by listing them below in the pdf. Thank you one and all for your support!
Please also remember that this fundraiser is ongoing.
