2022 was a busy year for the Society's Facilities and Grounds efforts.  Director Mike Schupp and the facilities and grounds staff have been busy working on preservation efforts at the Ryves Holt House.  Extensive improvements have been made to restore the structure's exterior, including total roofing replacement, chimney repair, scraping and replacement of a portion of the cedar shake siding, gutter installation, painting, and installation of reproduction cedar shutters.  

All of this, along with routine grounds & facilities maintenance, a profitable holiday greens sale for future plantings, and the historic fence repairs at the front of the property are just a few of the major tasks and accomplishments made through our group of talented and dedicated staff & volunteers!
