Moffett House Museum & Genealogy Center Gets a Face Lift

In October of 2009 BCCHS received a grant in the amount of $23,246 from the Neil and Louise Tillotson Fund of the New Hampshire Charitable Foundation to support capital improvements to the Moffett House Museum. In March 26 new Marvin replacement windows were installed. These windows were of wood frame construction with green aluminum cladding on the exterior; all windows were custom ordered to match the originals and also provide UV protection to help preserve the historical objects within the museum.

The second phase of this grant was the painting of the Moffett House exterior. BCCHS employed a contractor to paint three sides of the Museum and volunteers painted the fourth side as part of the match for the grant. An oil primer and an acrylic latex top coat give the museum a well needed fresh look to help preserve the Moffett House for years to come. The balance of the project cost came from a combination of cash and volunteer labor.
