“Construction Tours”
MCHS Event, July 1 and 12; 2 p.m.
MORRISTOWN, NJ - Morris County Historical Society is offering the public a unique opportunity to see first-hand the highly anticipated and long-awaited final phase of the exterior restoration of Acorn Hall.
Led by Executive Director, Amy Curry, the tour will offer a special look at all the work that brought MCHS to this point. While the repainting of Acorn Hall in its 1860 to 1880 paint scheme is the keynote project of this year’s endeavors, a substantial amount of related work is also underway or has been completed. Ms. Curry will also discuss the historic principals, rooted in the Hall’s restoration, that significantly influenced the landscape redesign and how the restoration will change the way the Hall is interpreted.
Reservations are required and space is limited. Tickets are $12 and can be purchased by visiting MorrisCountyHistory.org or by calling 973-267-3465.
