Loving Your Old House Returns in July with 3 Sessions

This exciting three-session educational program equips homeowners with the knowledge and skills to care for their historic buildings. Led by experts who work directly on historic preservation, the program delves into essential topics like:

Historic Window Basics: Learn the parts of a window, how a window operates, and how to open a window that’s been shut for decades.
Stone Around Your Home: Understand how to care for the stone around your home, from identification, basic maintenance, and contractor repair.
Historic District - Fact or Fiction: Explore the facts and fictions of caring for a building in the Madison National Landmark Historic District, including who to talk to and what type of work is allowed.

"Loving Your Old House" offers flexibility for busy schedules. Each session is independent, so you can choose the topics that best suit your needs. Attend one session for $30 (non-members) or $25 (HMI members), or take advantage of a $5 discount by registering for multiple sessions. These programs will take place on Tuesday evenings in July from 6:30-8:30 PM each week at the HMI office.

Don't miss this valuable opportunity to invest in your historic home's future. We look forward to welcoming homeowners of all experience levels, DIY enthusiasts, contractors, students, and anyone passionate about historic preservation!

Participants will have time with each of the session experts to learn how to care for the different parts of their home. This program is a great opportunity for anyone interested in preserving an old home for future generations, inside and out. This program is generously sponsored by the Virginia Kerst donor-advised fund.
