Not “One and Done”

Gregory Jones, who refers to himself as a “member of the Dartmouth community, parent of school-aged children, and professional architect,” directs his audience back to the realities of how preservation projects are conducted and why the CPC funds are so vital for this phase of the Akin House’s restoration.

“Stewardship and preservation is not a ‘one and done’ type of effort. Rather it is an on-going process with each phase of work building on the previous work all the while informing the citizens of Dartmouth about their local history.”

“The admirable work that has been performed to date, along with the numerous archaeological digs that continue to occur on the property have demonstrated to…people that historic preservation can be engaging, intriguing and rewarding.”

Help us continue this “engaging, intriguing, and rewarding” work by attending the CPC Meeting on March 10th to show your support!! The meeting will be held at 6:30, in room 315 of the Dartmouth Town Hall. Without the CPC funds, it will be a much longer road to finishing Phase III of the Akin restoration and the subsequent commencing of the Community Heritage Center project. A visible sign of our local community’s support support would go a long way. Hope to see you there!!

As always, we thank you for your donations to DHPT, sharing with others about our work in the community, and following our projects online!
