At Connecticut Landmarks, preservation, education, and storytelling are at the heart of our mission. At the Phelps-Hatheway House & Garden, our 18th-century Réveillon wallpaper conservation project has allowed us to continue to care for an important historic resource, partner with some of the region’s most dedicated researchers, scientists, and artisans, and encourage visitors to find their home in history through educational, hands-on programming. We hope you will enjoy the video above for a look into 18th-century wallpaper-making and contemporary conservation techniques with conservators from Studio TKM Associates.
With support from the National Park Service’s Save America’s Treasures, the National Trust for Historic Preservation, and generous donors, we have reached 90% of our fundraising goal for this conservation project and hope you will consider a donation this #GivingTuesday to help us reach the final 10%!
If 100 people donate just $20 today, we will reach our goal of raising $2,000 in one day!
