Our Ongoing Projects

We have quite a few projects underway here at the Old Brick House. Here’s a brief sampling of what we have going on:

Gravestone Preservation Project:

Headed up by JoAn Jones, completed 2017. Designated donations are welcome and will go toward covering the expenses of upkeep and maintenance of the colonial-style garden.

Maintenance and Upkeep:

The Old Brick House is in constant need of maintenance and upkeep. In the near future, there will need to be significant work done to arrest deterioration of the interior and exterior brickwork. Designated donations are welcome.

Capital Projects

The Old Brick House Foundation is currently engaged in a capital fundraising campaign to construct an ADA-compliant outbuilding for use by groups visiting the Old Brick House.
