Historic Homeowner Membership
Historic Homeowner Membership - $200 ($70 tax-deductible)
Historic Homeowner membership supports you and your older or historic house and the everyday needs, concerns, and problems you encounter in your home, whether that home was built in 1750 or 1950. From paint colors to pantries, eaves to energy conservation, Historic Homeowner membership helps you preserve and maintain the character and value of your historic home. This membership offers dedicated attention, knowledgeable support, and customized service that no shelter magazine or how-to guide can provide.
In addition to personalized support on their own old house questions, members in this category get to know more about the special needs and qualities of their historic homes at twice-annual members-only, behind-the-scenes events on topics tailored to preserving houses. Through the Historic Homeowner program, members share in protecting the unique character of historic properties throughout the region.
For additional information see the Preservation section of our website.
