    Restoration

    Our new home is being restored! In September 2021, the Strafford Historical Society received a Vermont's Art Council Cultural Facilities grant for $18,040 to be used toward the installation of an energy-efficient heat pump system and was also awarded $51,520 in Tax Credits through the Agency of Commerce's Downtown & Village Center Program to be used toward roof repairs. The Northfield Savings Bank will purchase the Tax Credits.
