Sargent House Museum Foundation and Sill Beam Restoration

Restoration work on the 1838 Sargent House Museum revealed how deteriorated the original 8x8-inch sill beams were.  It also revealed the floor joists - logs with the bark still on!   WHS' contractor W.R. Meyers is halfway done removing the old sills and installing new ones.  This project is funded in part by the Ohio History Fund, a grant program of the Ohio History Connection.  Your donations to the Ohio History Fund make this program possible (www.ohiohistory.org/historyfund).  If you would like to support WHS restoration efforts, please visit our website and click on "Join and Give."   Thanks to everyone who donated to the WHS Capital Campaign.  The work you made possible should set the Sargent House up for the next 180 years!
